English: Title: Revolutionists
Abstract: Print shows George III sitting on a throne atop a mountain labeled "Constitution" which is protected by a "Pit of Circumvention" as British revolutionists climb the mountain bearing a flag and various weapons, (an axe labeled "Cromwell", a rifle, a cudgel labeled "Wit", a dagger labeled "Buskin", and a pen holder labeled "Artillery"). Among the revolutionists, at bottom center, is Edmund Burke wearing clerical robes and carrying a large cross. In October 1788, it was clear that George III had gone insane. William Pitt and Charles James Fox contended in the House of Commons over the terms of the regency of the Prince of Wales. The king's health provoked a constitutional crisis, because Prince George was not sympathetic to his father or his ministers. He favored Fox over his father's Prime Minister, William Pitt. In this cartoon, the revolutionists are prevented by William Pitt from reaching the king.
