The managers in distress [graphic]Sayers, James, 1748-1823, printmaker[11 April 1788]eng"A stone bridge across a river collapses, all its piers having broken. Fox clings to the central piece of masonry which is falling; he says: "D**n the Piers they won't support us". Burke falls head foremost into the water, clutching a roll inscribed 'Impeachment'. Courtenay's head wearing a hat emerges from the water; a pair of legs and hands with a floating bag-wig are identified as Sir James Erskine."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Signed with the monogram of James Sayers.1 print : etching with stipple on wove paper ; plate mark 17 x 18.3 cm, on sheet 18.9 x 20.5 cm.Mounted on verso of leaf 43 of James Sayers's Folio album of 144 caricatures.
