Description |
English: Wellington, in his blue coat and white trousers, sits in a small gilt chair, registering melancholy alarm; behind him (right) a shadowy George IV, draped in a shroud, extends both hands towards rays descending from the upper right corner of the design. The King is partly surrounded by clouds. From behind clouds the Dukes of Cumberland and Clarence, standing together, look down angrily at the Duke; the former holds a scourge, with serpents for lashes, the latter clenches his fist; both are wary as well as revengeful. Wellington, conscious of the King's fate, drops a baton from his left hand; his knees are drawn up, his toes touching the floor, his right elbow on his knee, his hand supporting his head. Nov 20 1829

Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) George IV's death is anticipated (as in No. 15689), and is a signal for his brothers to revenge themselves on the Duke. For the Duke and Clarence see No. 15546, &c; and Cumberland, No. 15843, &c. See also No. 16129, &c. Reproduced, Shane Leslie, 'George IV', 1926, p. 182. |

[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. ![]() |
