Description |
English: A bishop (r.) standing behind an altar-rail, holds out both hands over the head of a kneeling clergyman. A demon kneels on the ground beside the latter; another has crept under his cassock, from which the tips of two wings project. Over the door is a picture of the Last Supper with Judas as a prominent figure. The lid of a large chest (l.) is slightly raised, from it hangs a paper inscribed: "I Suit of Scarlet & Gold, I Suit White & Silver, I Suit Blue & Silver, i Suit Flower'd Silk, i Suit Black Silk, I Black Velvet Surtout." On the Chest is pasted a label: "Left to Messrs Panchauld & Fo . . ." Paris. On the ground is a book, 'A Course

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) The scene represents the "infectious hand of a bishop" ordaining Horne, see BMSat 4863, 4866. The inscription is a quotation from a letter of his to Wilkes in 1766. The list in the trunk is identical with that sent by Horne to Wilkes in Paris, 25 May 1767, together with the clothes which he left in Wilkes's care (as unsuited to his clerical calling and to the English taste), writing "If you have any fellow feeling, you cannot but be kind to them; since they too, as well as yourself, are outlawed in England; and on the same account - their superior worth". In the course of their quarrel Horne accused Wilkes of having pawned these clothes. See Stephens, 'Memoirs of Horne Tooke', i. 76 ff. For the quarrel between Wilkes and Horne, see BMSat 4861, &c. |

[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. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
