Hint to modern sculptors, as an ornament to a future square [graphic]

"The Prince of Wales, on horseback, figures as a life-like equestrian statue (of the future George IV) mounted on a pedestal of three rectangular blocks, diminishing in size. On the middle block: 'PATER URBIUM subscribi Statuis." Juvel'. The Prince, in regimentals, very fat, sits in profile to the left, holding a drawn sabre. He holds the left curb rein, the snaffle lying on the animal's neck. The toe of his spurred boot is in the stirrup. He wears a feathered cocked hat, a star on his breast and on his hat, a broad sash round his ample waist. A large holster hangs from the saddle beneath which is a leopard-skin with a 'GR' and crown on each corner. The horse's near foreleg and off hind leg are raised. Beneath the design: '"------"I saw him with his Beaver on "His Cuisses on his Thighs gallantly arm'ed "Rise from the ground like feather 'd Mercury "And vaulted with such ease into his seat "As if an Angel dropt down from the Clouds, "To turn & wind a fiery Pegasus "And witch the world with noble Horsemanship - Kg Henry 4th'."--British Museum online catalogue
