"A companion print to BMSat 8659. Grenville seated in an ornate armchair peers near-sightedly at a map of 'The Globe' in two hemispheres which he holds up to his face. The eastern hemisphere, at which he is not looking, shows an exaggeratedly large tract of 'French Conquests'. His posteriors and legs, very solid in BMSat 8659, are thin. He sits before a light rectangular table on which are ink-stand and pens and two books, 'Court Calender' and 'Locke on Human Understanding' (as in BMSat 8659). On the wall are two pictures, the subjects merely indicated: 'The Treasury' (left) shows the arched gate and stone wall of many satires; 'Brittania Triumphant': Britannia seated with spear and shield. A patterned carpet completes the design. Grenville fixes his attention on scarcely visible successes in the W. Indies, ignoring the French conquests in Europe. The 'Court Calender' and 'The Treasury' indicate eagerness for the perquisites of office, cf. BMSat 8061 (1792)."--British Museum online catalogue

"A companion print to BMSat 8656. Grenville stands on a hearth-rug, his back to a blazing fire (right), holding up to his face an open book inscribed: 'Fundamental Principles of Government for 1795', at which he looks sideways and near-sightedly. He raises his coat-tails to warm his bulky posteriors, his left hand in his breeches pocket. On the chimney-piece lie two books: 'Court Cookery' and 'Locke on Human Understanding'. Hanging above it is a 'Map of British Victories on the Continent' on which confused scrawls are depicted. On the back wall (left) is a bracket supporting a bowl of gold-fish, above which is a picture of the 'Treasury Bench': three Ministers seated as if in Parliament, in back view with their coats drawn aside to show their bulky posteriors; the wall of the Treasury forms a background. ...."--British Museum online catalogue
