[The Treaty of Paris] A Prophecy. The Coach Overturn'd: or, the fall of Mortimer.
H: Tucker Sculp.t [after Jefferyes Hamett O'Neale].
[n.d., c.1762.]
Etching. 160 x 135mm (6¼ x 5¼"). Creases and folds as normal.
A satire on the negotiations for the Treaty of Paris, ending the Seven Year's War. A coach carrying the George III and Queen Charlotte (depicted as lions) crashes into a rock, after Lord Bute (the driver) has lost control having been blinded by 'Havana Snuff'. The horses (bearing names connected with British actions in the Seven Years War: "Germany", "Guardeloup", "Pondechery", "America", "Martinico" and "Quebec") run off. Lord Bute was accused of taking bribes to ease the negotiations in France's favour. This is a copy of a satire published by John Williams, lacking 16 lines of verse underneath.
See BM 3966 for the original.
