Title
News from America, or the patriots in the dumps
Description

Lord North and the Earl of Mansfield stand on a platform addressing a group of distressed patriots beyond which ships of war sail and sink. Engraving, 1776.

On a platform of three steps stand North and Mansfield; North, smiling, holds up a dispatch beginning "My Lord" and signed "How", the intermediate text being illegible. Behind them (r.), and on a lower step, stand Bute and George III. On the ground (l.) is a group of patriots who make gestures of distress, Wilkes being the most prominent. A seated and disreputable-looking woman holding the cap of Liberty is weeping. On the right. stand two ministers in conference, pointing with amusement and scorn at the patriots; one, Sandwich (r.), holds his finger to his nose, from his pocket hangs a paper inscribed "List of the Navy"; the other is probably intended for Germain. In the background is the sea, with ships of war, some in full sail, others sinking. 1 December 1776
