- Abstract
-
"The Prince of Wales stands outside the gate of Carlton House, turning away and covering his eyes to avoid seeing the scaffolding which is being pulled down by Pitt, Richmond, and Dundas, who strain at ropes. A long cloak hangs from his shoulders and he holds a coronet decorated with three feathers. Thurlow with a broom and Dundas with a whip chase away a terrified crowd of artisans (left) who have been employed at Carlton House. Beside the Prince stand his friends, who look towards a rising sun appearing over the roof of Carlton House; m the disk stands Liberty, beckoning to them. Fox holds out a roll inscribed 'Magna Chart[a]'; Burke stands with his hand on North's shoulder; Sheridan holds the 'Bill of Rights'."--British Museum online catalogue
