Abstract
Collection of satirical engravings by Robert Dighton, James Gillray, James Sayers, and C. Williams. The prints are primarily devoted to political satire; and the subjects include John Bull; taxes; French sympathies in Great Britain; George III's reaction to the Catholic Bill; the Broad-Bottomites in the Cabinet; and the public orator William Crowe. Titles include "A noble Lord, on an approaching peace, too busy to attend to the expenditure of a million of the public money"; "Doublures of characters, or striking resemblances in physiognomy"; "An ex minister training a terrier at Bowood"; and "All the talents upset or the highmettled Hanoverian grown restive." Several of the prints have been hand-colored.
