The reconciliation [graphic] / J. Gillray des. & fect.

"The King steps forward to embrace the Prince of Wales, who throws himself into his father's arms, saying, "against Heaven - and before thee, and am no more worthy------" (the words fade out). George III wears court dress, the Prince's dress is tattered and dishevelled, his pocket hangs inside out, the garter at his knee - 'Honi soit' - is loose. Behind the King stands the Queen on the door-step, half-smiling, her arms outstretched. Two pleased princesses look over her shoulder. Just outside the door stand Pitt and Moira watching the reconciliation, Pitt with a benign expression, Moira more doubtfully; both wear footmen's court-livery, of military cut; Moira wears jack-boots. Pitt holds a paper: 'New Union Act Britains best Hope', implying that he is the author of the 'Union'. Moira holds Pitt's arm. Beside the house (r.) are a tree and a balustrade, against which grow a rose-bush and a thistle. After the title: '"And he arose and came to his Father, and his Father saw him, & had compassion, & ran, & fell on his Neck, & kissed him. - Read the Parable. Verse 16th to 24th.'"--British Museum online catalogue.
