He takes the royal prerogative in ordering the Duke of Bedford (shown as headless with eagle's wings) to haste to negotiate with the kings of France and Spain. The French king demands "Canada, &amp; Martinique, &amp; Guadalupe, Senegal, &amp; Goree, &amp; Newfoundland, &amp; Pondicherry; &amp; you shall have all Hanover ...", while the Spanish king is prepared to refrain from attacking Portugal in return for Havana and his "Dollars"; two mocking Frenchmen look on. On the left, Britannia weeps and Pitt tries to comfort her while two other Englishmen complain of Bute's rise to power. Verses above warn against a too hasty peace treaty."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched above image.</dc:description><dc:description>Sheet trimmed to plate mark on right and left sides.</dc:description><dc:description>Following imprint: Price 6d.</dc:description><dc:description>Twelve lines of verse in three columns etched above image and below title: Monarchs, 'tis true, should calm the storms of war, nor urge the rage of victory too far ...</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
