![[George, Prince of Wales] Diamond Cut Diamond _ Intended as a Frontispiece to the Phamphlet.](jpegs/61834.jpg)
[George, Prince of Wales] Diamond Cut Diamond _ Intended as a Frontispiece to the Phamphlet.
[Charles Williams.]
Pub.d Aug,t 15th 1806 by SW Fores Nº 50 Piccadilly.
Coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"). Small margins.
The Prince is on the left addressing jeweller Nathaniel Jefferys, who bows low with a fixed and hungry smile. In the Prince's left hand is a money-bag inscribed '400'. In his pocket is a paper: 'Advice to a young Tradesman by B Frank[lin]'. On the left is a huge stack of tailor's bills, and behind prints are pasted on a screen, four of which have titles and figures: 'The Prodigal recieving his Portion'; 'Sqanders with Harlots'; 'Feeds with the Swine'; 'The Fall of Phaeton'. A satire on the dispute between the Prince of Wales and Jefferys over the slow repayment of bills. Jefferys claimed to have lost a considerable sum of money in the settlement of his account with the Prince. In 1806 he requested 400 guineas for his son to be an articled solicitor and went on to write a pamphlet 'exposing' the Prince's conduct which went through nine editions in a year this print was published. It started a pamphlet war, as part of which the theatrical writer Gilliland wrote 'Diamond cut Diamond' in defence of the Prince. American interest.
BM Satires: 10592.
