Anti-saccharrites, or, John Bull and his family leaving off the use of sugar [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[27 March 1792]eng"The King, Queen, and six Princesses, three quarter length, are seated round a frugal tea-table. The King, in profile to the right, faces his daughters, holding his cup and saucer to his lips, and saying, with a staring eye, "delicious! delicious". The Queen sits in the centre behind the small tea-pot, holding her cup and saucer in bony fingers, and looking with a wide and cunning smile towards the Princesses, saying, "O my dear Creatures, do but Taste it! You can't think how nice it is without Sugar: - and then consider how much Work you'll save the poor Blackeemoors by leaving off the use of it! - and above all, remember how much expence it will save your poor Papa! - O its charming cooling Drink!" The Princess Royal sits at the end of the row, on the extreme right, with four sisters diminishing in age on her right, a sixth just indicated behind the Queen. They hold, but do not drink, cups of tea, with expressions varying from sulky discontent to defiant surprise."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched at top of image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Dedication etched below title: To the masters & mistresses of families in Great Britain this noble example in oeconomy is respectfully submitted.Temporary local subject terms: Boycotts: sugar -- Miserliness: George III and Queen Charlotte -- Anti-saccharites -- Silver: tea service -- Dishes: teacups -- Reference to slave trade in West Indies.1 print : etching on wove paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 31.3 x 39.9 cm, on sheet 36.4 x 55.5 cm.Mounted to 37 x 57 cm.
