Hanging. Drowning. Fatal Effects of the French Defeat.
[By James Gillray.]
Pub.d Nov.r 9th 1795. by H. Humphrey New Bond Street.
Coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"). Trimmed within plate at top, mounted in album paper at edges. Slight foxing at corners.
Two scenes about the news that the French army on the Rhine had been defeated by the Austrians: on the left the pro-revolution Charles James Fox tries to hang himself; on the right William Pitt the Younger and Henry Dundas celebrate, sloshing wine everywhere. Behind Fox is a portrait of General Jean-Charles Pichegru who, it later transpired, was a secret royalist and had caused the French defeat by betraying the French strategy. In 1803 he plotted a coup against Napoleon, was discovered and was found strangled in his prison cell.
