Abstract:
"Satire on peace negotiations with France to end the Seven Years War with Lord Bute (Gisbal) seated on a hill holding the muzzled British lion. He takes the royal prerogative in ordering the Duke of Bedford (shown as headless with eagle's wings) to haste to negotiate with the kings of France and Spain. The French king demands "Canada, & Martinique, & Guadalupe, Senegal, & Goree, & Newfoundland, & Pondicherry; & you shall have all Hanover ...", while the Spanish king is prepared to refrain from attacking Portugal in return for Havana and his "Dollars"; two mocking Frenchmen look on. On the left, Britannia weeps and Pitt tries to comfort her while two other Englishmen complain of Bute's rise to power. Verses above warn against a too hasty peace treaty."--British Museum online catalogue
