Description |
English: The Junto in a Bowl Dish (caricature)Text in English below image.
A bowl or boat floats on the sea within the jaws of a monster with a cat-like face. In it sit seven people, full face, all but one with cat's whiskers. In the centre is a judge, probably Thurlow the Lord Chancellor, on his left is a Scot wearing a plaid, probably Bute, still regarded as potent, or perhaps Lord Loughborough (Wedderburn), next, a figure whose anchor shows that he is Sandwich, first Lord of the Admiralty. Then comes North, wearing his ribbon and star and (incorrectly) a baron's coronet. On the Chancellor's right is a man with a Grenadier's cap and a banner, perhaps Jenkinson, the Secretary at War. Next him is a cat-faced man, and on the outside (left) a judge whose head is framed in a gallows, probably Mansfield. Four dogs are swimming towards the bowl, their collars inscribed respectively "America" (left), "France", "Spain", and "Holland" (right), the last smaller than the others and smoking a pipe. In the foreground on the right is the shore; on it is a decayed oak-tree, overgrown with fungus, in which is planted a Union flag. Beneath it a skeleton-like greyhound (Scotland) is devouring a heart and entrails (England's vitals). Beneath the design is engraved:"Behold the Ministerial foul Fish Float in Political Bowl Dish, Drove at the Pleasure of the Tide, Assail'd by Foes on ev'ry Side.Alas, Old England, must you Fail And for such Miscreants turn Tail America Insults the Nation And says a Fig for your Taxation.France, Spain & Holland, Join the Cry And Drive them to their Destiny, While Scotland pleas'd at all their Deeds Upon Old Englands Vitals Feeds." 11 February 1781 Etching[1] |
