Title
English: Drawing, Design for an Ornamental Border Used for the Surround to the General Chart in John Pine's "Tapestry Hangings in the House of Lords", ca. 1739
Description
English: The central shape and four not quite complete circles (intended for globes) in each corner are cut out. At the top center of the ornamental framing border (which incorporates scroll-work), there is a diadem made of ship prows; at the bottom center, the head of Neptune with some of his attributes. At the upper right of the ornamental border, the seated figure of Britannia holds a sword and shield to vanquish the figures (at lower right) of Envy (a bare-breasted woman holding a snake), Superstition (a blindfolded figure holding a torch) and Spain (a fallen man, holding a sword, next to a tower and lion). At the upper left, the personification of True Religion (a draped, seated woman holding a book and torch) presides above lightning and the fleeing figures of Hypocrisy, Ignorance and Popery (woman and fox, devil, monk at lower left).
