Description |
English: A sequel to BMSat 6967. A coach and four is driven at a gallop from right to left, by two postilions: Fox rides the near wheeler, Sheridan the near leader; both ply their whips. Inside the coach is the Prince of Wales, reading 'Town Amusements' but looking at his infant which North, on the back seat, holds on his knee (cf. BMSat 6954, &c). On the Prince's right is Mrs. Fitzherbert. The centre of the coach roof is piled with boxes, baskets of fruit, a bunch of flowers, a hare, and a bird. These divide Hanger, who sits facing the horses, his club under his arm, reading a 'Scheme for finishing Carlton House', and Weltje reading a 'contract', his feet resting on a pot, saveall, &c. Both men smile with satisfaction. The door of the coach is decorated with Mrs. Fitzherbert as Hope, holding an anchor surmounted by the Prince's feathers and motto, 'Ich Dien'; on each side-panel is a star; it is ornate and decorated with crowns, in contrast with the shabby vehicle of BMSat 6967. In front of the coach is tied a large pair of bellows (whose nozzle points directly at Fox) inscribed 'Motion for increase of Income'. 23 October 1786

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) This anticipates the debates of 20, 24, and 27 Apr. 1787, when an appeal was made for the payment of the Prince's debts. 'Parl. Hist.' xxvi. 1019 f., 1048-56, 1059; Rose, 'Pitt and National Revival', 1811, pp. 400 ff. An appeal for an increased income for the Prince had been made by Sheridan and Fox in debates on the Civil List, 5 and 6 Apr. 1786. 'Parl. Hist.' xxv. 1354-6. |

editThis 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. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
