[George III & Tsar Paul 1] The Russian Bruiser getting his dose with his seconds thirds bottle Holder &c coming in for their share.
[Isaac Cruikshank]
Pub: by SW Fores Nº 50 Piccadilly Jan 30th 1801.
Coloured etching, 18th century watermark. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"), large margins. Paper lightly toned.
George III as a bare-knuckled boxer fights Tsar Paul I and his second (Gustav IV Adolf, King of Sweden) and third (Christian VII, King of Denmark), beating them badly. Frederick William III, King of Prussia, stands behind, expressing his neutrality. Behind George is William Pitt the younger, dressed in full armour. The English press published a report from a Danish minister that Paul I had challenged the potentates of Europe to personal combat, with their generals and ministers as squires, to decide the war. Paul's eccentric reputation gave doubt to whether he was joking or not. His unpredictable behavior led to his assassination by his own officers only two month after this satire was published. Boxing interest.
