[Monogram of Paul Pry, i.e. William Heath] Esq.r.
Pub May 1829 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket.
Coloured etching Charles Smith bookseller's ink stamp in bottom margin. 370 x 265mm (14½ x 10½"). Tear taped, glue stain in edge of plate. Faded.
Apparently Heath intends the victim of this caricature to be Nicholas Vansittart (1766-1851), Lord Bexley, one of the longest-serving Chancellors of the Exchequer; however the face does not resemble him.
