Abstract

"Lansdowne, dressed as a news-boy, steps through a door in the garden wall of Lansdowne House. Across his cap (a bonnet-rouge) is a paper: 'Gazette Extraordiny'. He holds out a sheet headed with his arms and the title 'Gazette \ Extraordinary \ : Published without Authority \ Monday May 26th 1794 \ Berkeley Square'. Beneath, in two columns: 'Intelligence from America Lie the Ist Intelligence from France Lie the 2d Intelligence from Holland Lie ye 3d Intelligence from Italy Lie ye 4th Intelligence from Algiers Lie the 5th [signed] I am &c. Malagrida'. In his left hand is a news-boy's horn and under his left arm a sheaf of his 'Gazette Extraordinary'. Scrolls issue from his mouth: 'bloody News Great News' and similar scrolls float above the gate from the garden of Lansdowne House (where conspirators are supposed to be shouting): 'Ça ira Ça ira' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8443)."--British Museum online catalogue
