Description
English: Two standing figures: Lord North (left) and Jeffery Dunstan (right). North, a substantial sack over his left shoulder, inscribed "Budget", his right. hand in his breeches pocket, is calling "Tory rory Gold". The other, copied from a print published by I. Whitehead, 15 Nov. 1779, holds an empty sack over his shoulder, inscribed "Sack", and is calling "Whigs Whigs Brass"; he wears a coat over a torn shirt and his ungartered stockings are falling down his legs. Beneath the design is engraved:



"How different the Figures which here you behold!
The one asks for brass and the other for gold.
Each are droll Fellows, 'tis known in their Station,
And each of Some Service 'tis hoped - to the Nation." 12 February 1780

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) Dunstan's chief occupation was buying old wigs, his droll way of crying 'old wigs' always attracted a crowd in the London streets. He was elected Mayor of Garratt in 1785, 'D.N.B.'

One of many satires on North's budgets, see BMSat 5578, 5703, &c.

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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
