- Abstract:
- "Probably based on G. Cruikshank's 'Boney's Meditations . . .', British Museum Satires No. 12593 (1815), an adaptation of Gillray's 'Gloria Mundi', British Museum Satires No. 6012. The place of Napoleon is taken by George IV (right) who stands on the globe, staggering back from the rays of the sun which contains (in place of his own head) a bust portrait of the Queen (left). He repeats a parody of Milton's lines from 'Paradise Lost': "--To Thee, To Thee, I call!!! but with no friendly Voice & add thy Name oh Queen!! To tell thee how I hate those beams that bring to my Rememberance from what state I'm fallen." On the globe is a map with lines of latitude and longitude; the King's left foot is on a frontier between 'England' and 'Hanover' (towards which he staggers), as if to suggest that he will retire to Germany, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13974. A cherub flies above the Queen holding up a ribbon inscribed 'Innocent', and frowning down at the King. A woman resembling Mrs. Quentin in British Museum Satires No. 13897, emerging from behind the globe, tugs anxiously at the King's coat-tail."--British Museum online catalogue

Above his head, in a frame decorated with dragons, pagodas, and mandarins, is a view of the Pavilion: 'The Palace of Fum'. [See Moore's 'Morning Chronicle' verses 'Fum and Hum, the two birds of Royalty', reprinted 'Fudge Family', 1818.] An obese mandarin wearing a hat topped with antlers, and with half a crown (see British Museum Satires No. 13826) depicted on his paunch, is 'The great Fum', i.e. the King. This figure rests on the head of an obese dragon. Another figure of a squatting mandarin is on the floor."--British Museum online catalogue
