- Abstract
-
"George III, standing in front of the throne, extends his right. hand to Portland, who stoops to kiss it, proffering a 'List of the New Ministry Duk ...'. The King looks angrily over his left. shoulder at the old Ministry who are in flight, derisively raising the skirt of his coat. Two labels float from his mouth: 'Approach my Lords & Gentlemen & Kiss my Hand -' and, 'as for You my Lords & Gentlemen you may Kiss - '. Grenville scurries es off stooping, his peer's mantle looped over his arm, leaving coat-tails and posteriors exposed; he says: "This comes of getting into bad Company." Howick, as he hurries off with his Catholic Bill, looks behind him at the King, saying, "I thought we should have cramed it down his throat." Moira, in uniform, stares in consternation. Petty and Erskine, both in their robes, escape together, much alarmed. Behind them, Sheridan slinks off, dressed as Harlequin, see BMSat 9916. The others are Sidmouth, in profile to the left., as is Temple on the extreme right.; between them is the spectacled face of Buckingham, saying, "Aye Aye the Doctor [cf. BMSat 9849] advised him not to swallow it." These fugitives are adapted from BMSat 10709. On the left., behind Portland, (?) Hawkesbury stoops, his lips pursed as if ready to kiss. Behind him is Castlereagh, then Perceval in a barrister's wig. A fifth profile appears on the extreme left. Beside the King is a stool on which are a large book (the Bible, as in BMSat 10709), sceptre, and a document, 'Coronation Oath', on which stands the crown. On the back of the heavily canopied throne 'G III R' surmounted by a crown."--British Museum online catalogue
