![[Warren Hastings] Court Cards the best to deal with.](jpegs/67696.jpg)
[Warren Hastings] Court Cards the best to deal with. Plate 1.
[after John Baldrey.]
Pub.d Feb.y 8.th 1778 for 5 Doughty and C.o N.o 19 Holborn London
Very rare and scarce hand-coloured etching, sheet 250 x 290mm (10 x 11½"). Trimmed to plate top and bottom. Creasing.
Three portraits as playing cards. In the centre is Warren Hastings, in oriental dress (a joker?), holding up diamond symbols; on the left is Chancellor Edward Thurlow as a knave; on the right George III as a king. The two court cards appear to be taking the diamonds from Hastings's hands. The design is taken from Boyne, the playing-card maker.
BM 1868,0808.5682. See BM Satires 7264 for an almost identical plate published by S Doughty & Company (at Joshua Baldrey's address).
