Abstract:
"Satire on the ambitions of European powers ranged against Maria Theresa in the early stages of the War of Austrian Succession, and on Robert Walpole's preoccupation with his own precarious position as well as his lack of support for Austria; an adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 2463. The ships at sea in the foreground of the earlier state have been replaced by the naked figure of Maria Theresa (then Queen of Hungary) sitting on a chair, one leg having been amputated and replaced by a wooden stump; a cloth around her hips is lettered, "Hungary & Lindtz". Her clothing has been pulled off by her enemies: Frederick the Great of Prussia pins down her cap, labelled "Silesia", with his halberd; the figure on the ground, previously identified as Theodore of Corsica holds her necklace labelled "Buta" [Buda]; the King of Spain holds a string by which he has pulled off her shift, labelled, "Just Rights"; the word "Doteingness" has been removed from Cardinal Fleury's walking frame and a string attached to his wrist has pulled off the Queen's petticoat, labelled "Austria/Netherlands" which she tries to hold on to; Walpole's paper is now lettered, "Place Bill", he now says "King LOGG listen to the Cardinal" a label at his feet reads, "If I get off now thanks to ye Priest Successor of Richlieu", and his string is now attached to the foot of the City of London alderman, whose label "Sturdy Beggar" has been removed; the Dutchman holds a string to which is attached the Queen's tippet labelled "Munich"(?) and he now says, "But We Design to be on our Guard & remain neuter"; the labels "Bohemia" and "Grand Duke" have been removed from two figures in the background; The figure formerly identified as Austria is now "Bohemia" and holds a string pulling the Queen's robe which is labelled "Prague", "Sultzback" and "Breslau". The verses below have been erased and replaced by twelve stanzas. The lettering is otherwise unchanged."--British Museum online catalogue
