"Satire identifying George II with his electorate of Hanover, showing the Hanoverian landscape and his profile head in trompe l'oeil; the king is shown with a moustache in the style typical of a German soldier of the period. The landscape carries numbers referring to a key beneath suggesting that trade in Hanover is in a state of decay: 1. Herrenhausen; 2. Manufacture of Boars Heads (a ruined building); 3. Do. of Hams (a farm); 4. The Town of Hanover; 5. Manufacture of Linnen (a distant village); 6. Do. of Bonporenicole (a fortress; a reference to the lack of provisions for British troops in Germany, see BM Satire 2584); 7. Beggars Cambrick (another village); 8. Hunting House; 9. The (Army) Camp; 10. The River Leyne; 11. The Alder (a lake in the foreground where men are fishing)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Satire on Robet Walpole's move to the House of Lords: A large room in which Walpole is pushed at swordpoint by the masked figure of Justice towards a group of lords who wait to receive him. He is led by a lion carrying a coronet in its teeth which says, "Follow me Sr. Blew String", and he holds his hand to his head, saying "I go in hopes to save this & trust to ye Hat". On the left, a group of four members of the Commons, wearing jockey caps and boots, surround Lord Pulteney. In the background are two shop stalls, "Deards from St. Dunstans" selling expensive trinkets, and "Dent's Snuff Shop"."--British Museum online catalogue
