Hanover, House of., George II, King of Great Britain, 1683-1760, William Augustus, Prince, Duke of Cumberland, 1721-1765, Argyle, John Campbell, Duke of, 1680-1743, Bedford, John Russell, Duke of, 1710-1771, Chesterfield, Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of, 1694-1773, Marlborough, Charles Spencer, Duke of, 1706-1758, Sandwich, John Montagu, Earl of, 1718-1792, and Carteret, John, Earl Granville, 1690-1763
"Satire on disagreements within the Pragmatic Army in the aftermath of the battle of Dettingen suggesting that George II as nominal commander had bowed to Hanoverian interests, failing to drive home the victory. The king, having let the sash of "Poor E[n]g[lan]d" fall to the ground, and wearing the Hanoverian sash marked "16 thousand pounds" (suggesting the British subsidy) raises his arm and orders, "Noli Prosequi" in response to the dominant figure of the moustachioed Hanoverian general Baron Ilton who says, "I must preserve ye K[in]gs Troops"; an astonished young officer, to the right, exclaims, "What preserve & Conserve too". To the left of the king, the Earl of Stair, commander of the British troops, complains, "Would to God he had is Desert", the Duke of Arenberg, commander of Austrian troops, asks "Why don't you lead us on?", and another general says, "Damn such Confectioners". On the far left, John Carteret leans through the window of a coach the wheel of which carries a label reading, "I'm in a Cottage near ye field of Battle"; he says, "God be praised a great Victory" and a young black footman, sitting at the back of a coach wearing a slave collar, agrees, "Amen & they were the aggressors". On the right "The Tribe of Benjamin" (Hanoverian troops), labelled "4 Pounds a Man p[er] Month", lounge and eat beside a gun carriage on which is written, "A Considerable Share in the Victory"; one soldier wears an oak leaf in his hat in reference to the incident during the battle when George II is said to have sheltered under an oak after falling from his horse and to have presented an oak leaf to the soldiers who looked after him; a Hanoverian grenadier in the foreground, exclaims, "Plague of all cowards Say I!". In the background, the British cavalry are ordered to halt while in pursuit of the French."--British Museum online catalogue

Title engraved below image., Date from British Museum catalogue., and With spine title: Caricatures anglaise 1740.
"Satire on George II's wish for continuing British subsidies for Hanoverian forces in the war of Austrian Succesion, and the objections of some British politicians. In an open loggia on the left the king sits at a table, over which is spread a map of northern Europe on top of which is a teetotum, lettered "160,000 for year", the tip of which is pointing towards him. He exclaims to a group of politicians around the table that he has won the whole stake, "Je tire tous les enjeux, Tenez, la voici" . Across the table from him John Carteret, who has a second, anxious, face peering through the back of his wig, replies "Well thrown the Balance is on our Side to a T". Beside the king another politician, holding a pen, remarks "More money for the year, & you shall have a P[eace]". The Duke of Cumberland standing beside Carteret wit h his hand resting on his sword hilt says "Smart money I've ventured my Life", a man beside him tells him "You have fought bravely take H[a]n[ove]r". In the centre the British Lion lies on the Act of Settlement, his back piled high with papers lettered "Dains", "Hessians", "Austrean", "H[a]n[o]ve[ria]ns", "Vots of Ct", "Sinking F[un]d", "lottery tickets", "lott[ery] next year, for 16000,000". The white horse of Hanover rests his fore legs on top of these and above the Austrian eagle flies with the French cock on its back. The lion laments "I can Bear it no more I'll be Bubble'd no longer". A politician to the right of the lion moves as if to lighten its burden saying, "Poor Lion, wee shall Oppose this foul Play", another behind him , holding a commander's baton pushes forward saying "The English sav'd him, where was his H-gs" ; another, wearing a sash decorated with eagles, restrains him saying "1,000,000 is too much for Mercenaries", another politician reassures him that "G[o]d be prais'd they have preserv'd ye Balance in Europe"; in the background another says "D[a]m it the D[ice] is Loaded"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the king and government concerning the employment of Hanoverian troops in England. A cart loaded with Hanoverian turnips is drawn from the right by three horses into the parade ground behind the Treasury.On the left, in front of the leading horse, stands John Perceval, his coat labelled "Deceivall" and holding a paper lettered, "Independant", saying, "In my popular station". Facing him, the bulky figure of William Pulteney, holding a driver's whip and a handful of turnips, says, "Honest Friend S[an]d[y]s rejoyce & sing here's H[anove]r T[urni]p will now come again Ho"; Robert Walpole stands on the other side of the horses saying, "Ha S[an]d[y]s you've a short reign". The man standing on the shafts of the cart calling out, "Stop Boy they shall buy th'all" is apparently identifiable as Samuel Sandys, now Chancellor of the Exchequer; Amalia von Wallmoden sits on the turnips saying, "Thank you Sr for ye Honr. you've done me & yor. Man Will", presumably a reference to Pulteney. Behind the horses stand two other men, evidently Treasury officials, one, holding Treasury tallies, says "Let me be S[and]y[s] I'm not squeamish", the other saying "Ill make a round sum"; the king leans over a balcony of the Treasury brandishing a broom and saying "Pay for ye whole S[an]d[y]s I'll sweep the T[reasu]ry clean". On a wall in the background are pasted "S[an]d[y]s Speeches, a halfpeny a Peice" concerning the Place Bill, the Motion to enquire into the conduct of Walpole and the Triennial Act 1743; a ballad seller sits on the ground beside them. The Hanoverian cavalry enters from the right, led by a commander carrying the standard with the white horse of Hanover, and followed by mounted bandsmen, including a kettle drummer and a trumpeter. One Hanoverian remarks, "For us 260" in reference to the number of members of parliament who voted to retain the troops. In the foreground an Englishman kneels on the ground grasping a bunch of turnips and saying, "By G[o]d these Turnips are dear"."--British Museum online catalogue

A satirical representation of the Battle of Dettingen, 1743. Overturned canons are piled in a ditch with fascines in the foreground; a large dead limb of a tree separates it from the battle ground. In the left corner the word 'Steelingensat' suggests the scene is a view from the fortress. In the center George II as the white horse of Hanover rides a British lion from whose mouth come the words "Starv'd on Bon pour nicole". The Hanoverian general Otto Christian von Ilten (nicknamed "Confectioner General") confronts the lion and his rider. Also depicted are the French and Austrian generals who shout encouragement to the troups
