JS[ayers] ff.
Published 3d July 1782 by C.Bretherton.

He holds a document in his right hand. By James Sayers (1748 - 1823). Sayers's caricatures were so powerful and direct in their purpose that Fox is said to have declared that they did him more harm than all the attacks made on him in parliament or the press.
