Description |
Satire on the Ministry of All the Talents (British political cartoon); A satire on the idea that Pitt's management of the war had provided the Grenville ministry with 'a bed of roses.'

John Bull lies on the roses, whose thorns prick him while the English oak withers and dies.; Mounted |
