The French wolf in sheeps cloathing, or, Englands belle amis [graphic].[1758?]eng"Satire on Samuel Touchet, a Manchester merchant and MP, who is said to importing French cloth to the detriment of the English textile trade. He is shown grasping the Golden Fleece, suspended from the ceiling, while £1200 worth of 'English Goods [are] Neglected' and £36000 per annum of 'French Goods [are] Promoted]; the Devil, dressed as a Frenchman, encourages Touchet and refers to 'Monsr. Belle Amy', i.e., the textile merchant William Bellamy."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched above image.Date from British Museum catalogue.Two lines of verse below image: Ev'n you your self to your own breast shall tell ...Temporary local subject terms: Wool trade -- Satan -- Expression of speech: wolf in sheep's clothing -- Mythology: Golden Fleece.
