A warm birth for the old administrator |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: George III on his throne asleep, while the new ministry, helped by devils, drive out the king's old advisers. The king, his throne raised on a dais of three steps covered with a fringed carpet, leans back, his mouth open, his feet crossed. His ermine-trimmed robe hangs open and shows a crown stuffed into the pocket of his coat.

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) Beneath the title is engraved, "Take the Wicked from before the King and his Throne shall be establish'd in Righteousness", a text hardly consistent with the representation of Fox, in league with the Devil, his pockets stuffed with the grapes which he has at last reached, cf. BMSat 5962. See also BMSat 5982, 5984. Grego, 'Gillray', p. 46, giving the date as 2 April 1783, when the plate was reissued. Reproduced, C. E. Jensen, 'Karikatur-album', 1906, i. 263. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
