"The Prince of Wales ..., sword in hand, gallantly protects Britannia against the attack of three conspirators: Pitt raises a headsman's axe in both hands; Grafton, holding a conspirator's lantern, is about to strike her with a dagger; Richmond ... fires a musket, resting one knee on a cannon. The Prince wears a coronet with three ostrich feathers, he holds out his shield behind Britannia, who cowers towards him in terror."--British Museum online catalogue, description of the print for which this is the original drawing
