description: The king descends the steps of his throne to receive a tarred and feathered man who is being led towards him by Pitt. The victim, whose hands and face only are free from feathers, advances (right to left), his right hand in Pitt's left. He is the Duke of Rutland, appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by Pitt, 11 Feb. 1784. He says, "Is this usage, Sire, for the Representative of Majesty ? You might as well have sent me to govern a Madhouse!" Pitt turns towards him, saying, "Let not your noble spirit be cast down. Your gracious Master shall revenge this insult." The king advances with outstretched arms, saying, "My second self in this pickle! Wild Irish indeed! But my Military Hounds will soon run the frantic Devils down." The throne is raised on a dais of three steps, from the lowest of which the king is stepping; on its seat are the orb and sceptre; the back is ornamented by two carved cherubs holding a crown. Behind, looking round a doorway, are the Prince of Wales and Fox, laughing. The Prince says, "His Plumage does not seem to sit easy on him, Charley". Fox answers, "I honor the People for their spirit; it will teach him to keep a civil tongue in his head." 26th July 1784

description: Fox stands, full-face, smiling; he holds a stout staff of liberty surmounted by a Phrygian cap. His left hand, holding a laurel branch, rests on his hip. On his left stands the Duchess of Devonshire (right), turning her head in profile to the right and holding out on her left arm a 'Shield of Virtue', against the arrows of 'Malice' and 'Envy'; other arrows fall to the ground, broken by their impact with the shield, inscribed 'Woman Hater' and 'Morning Post'. In her hat are the usual fox's brush and ostrich plumes. A star-shaped halo is lightly sketched behind her head. Sir Cecil Wray (left) walks off in profile to the left, bending beneath a heavy burden and supported on his stick. The burden consists of three bundles, 'Deceit', 'Ingratitude', and
'Per[ju]ry', attached to his shoulders by a band inscribed 'Cecil W-----y'.
Black clouds above his head emit forked lightning. Over his head are the words 'I acknowledge my Transgressions, and my Sins are ever before me'. Over Fox's head flies a cherub holding out a laurel wreath; he blows a trumpet directed towards the Duchess, from which issues the word 'Victory'. After the title is etched 'Dedicated to the Ladies who so conspicuously exerted themselves in the Cause of Freedom'. 23 May 1784

description: Pitt stands in profile to the left, leaning forward and stretching out his right hand to take the hilt of an irradiated sword, which descends towards him from the upper left corner of the design, where are three heads of cherubs. Pitt's appearance is idealized; he has a profile of classical correctness, the attitude of a stage hero; his left hand is held backwards over a circular table on which lies a book inscribed 'Locke on the human Understanding'. On the wall behind this is a bust portrait of Chatham, wearing peer's robes and a tie-wig. On the left of the wall and behind the sword is an open sash-window, through which is seen a crowd of heads with a banner inscribed 'The Harmonic Society'; they are Pitt's opponents.
As in the other prints of this series, the words of the speakers are etched in very small script over or beside the heads of the speakers. The three cherubs address Pitt, the first saying,
"------This sword of Justice take;
And as thy Father us'd it, so do thou
Thy King and Country, now, await thy strength,
To crush the vipers that would ruin both.
God save great George your King,"
The second,
"Long may he live and reign,"
The third,
"God save your King."
Pitt says,
"Though I am ignorant in the ways of men,
I yet can boast a heart, as free from guilt
As any be, who e'er did wield this sword;
And whilst a sinew nerv'st this arm of mine,
Or whilst my veins run full with Chathams blood,
I'll save my Country, and my King with truth;
And thus I take it - to support them both."
The members of the 'Harmonic Society' outside the window are singing, their faces in profile to the right and looking up at Pitt, except North who is full-face, with a fixed scowl. Faint dotted lines (confusedly) connect their words with their mouths.
North sings, "oh damn Pitt's limbs and eyes"; Fox, who is next him, sings, "O Nick, Nick, now arise"; Keppel sings, "O hear our call"; Burke, wearing spectacles and a Jesuit's biretta (cf. BMSat 6026), sings, "Take him, and 's politicks". An almost hidden profile, which appears to belong to a mitre, probably that of Shipley, Bishop of St. Asaph, sings, "That he mayn't see our tricks". An invisible speaker says, "Give him infernal kicks". Behind (left) are Lord John Cavendish and the Duke of Portland (wearing a coronet), who sings "Or we must fall". Prominent in the foreground is Sheridan; a large scroll attached to his neck hangs over the window-sill inside the room; it is inscribed:
'We'll ne'er get credit more
If we've no place in store
To fee a dun
What will the People say
When we are out of play
And cant our Tradesmen pay
O, we're undone.
The members are requested to
bring as many Friends as possible.'
A heavy tasselled curtain drapes the side of the window, and the left side of the design. 18 February 1784
