Hand coloured etching, 18th century watermark, sheet 305 x 235mm (12¼ x 9¼"). Trimmed within plate on right. Small margins on 3 sides.
Satire on the British Bank Restriction Act 1797. Pitt bestrides a saddle on top of the Speaker's chair, he wears top-boots in place of shoes, and looks down at the Opposition instead of at his own supporters. Instead of bulging coat-pockets, saddlebags are strapped to a belt round his waist; one (left) is 'Resources for Prosecuting the War'; from it hang strips of paper: '20s British Assignats 40s D.o 10s D.o 5s D.o 2.6. D.o'. Rolled documents also project from it: 'St Georges Volunteers', 'Yeomanry Fencibles', 'Supplementary Cavalry', 'Supplementary Militia.' On the other bag, 'Remains of the Gold & Silver Coin', Pitt arrogantly rests his left hand. With the spur on his left top-boot he gashes Fox, so that a stream of blood pours from his side; he and the other leaders of the Opposition are terrified, Sheridan and Erskine amoung them. Pitt's right boot is not spurred; beside and behind it are the ranks of the Ministerialists, kneeling in alarmed and bewildered supplication. Dundas in Highland dress stands with his hands on his hips with Wilberforce next him. The Speaker looks straight before him, holding up both hands; the clerks write, each turning towards the group of members next him.
