A uniform Whig [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[16 November 1791]eng"Burke stands full face, frowning; his right arm rests along a high pedestal inscribed 'G.R' which supports a bust of George III. In his right hand is a book: 'Burke on the French Revolution'. His left arm hangs by his side, in his left hand are the staff and cap of 'Liberty'. The right half of his dress is whole, the coat gold-laced, the pockets brimming over with coins. The left half is ragged, his empty pocket hangs inside out. The head of the King, in profile to the right, wears an arrogant frown. In the background is a mountain, evidently Parnassus, crowned with a windmill) on one sail of which Fame is precariously poised. Trees and foliage complete the background."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from item.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.One line of text below title: "I preserve consistency by varying my means to secure the unity of my end."
