Title
The u*****'s [victory] introduction at st J***s's [James's] with anew suit of Irish manufacture
Description
English: The king descends the steps of his throne to receive a tarred and feathered man who is being led towards him by Pitt. The victim, whose hands and face only are free from feathers, advances (right to left), his right hand in Pitt's left. He is the Duke of Rutland, appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by Pitt, 11 Feb. 1784. He says, "Is this usage, Sire, for the Representative of Majesty ? You might as well have sent me to govern a Madhouse!" Pitt turns towards him, saying, "Let not your noble spirit be cast down. Your gracious Master shall revenge this insult." The king advances with outstretched arms, saying, "My second self in this pickle! Wild Irish indeed! But my Military Hounds will soon run the frantic Devils down." The throne is raised on a dais of three steps, from the lowest of which the king is stepping; on its seat are the orb and sceptre; the back is ornamented by two carved cherubs holding a crown. Behind, looking round a doorway, are the Prince of Wales and Fox, laughing. The Prince says, "His Plumage does not seem to sit easy on him, Charley". Fox answers, "I honor the People for their spirit; it will teach him to keep a civil tongue in his head." 26th July 1784

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938)

During the spring of 1784 there was much unrest in Dublin arising from the defeat of a bill for protective duties on Irish manufactures; strikebreakers and others were tarred and feathered, see BMSat 6650. 'The Duke of Rutland was, on his first appearance at the theatre, hooted and insulted as if he had been a Verres....', Hardy, 'Memoirs of the Earl of Charlemont', 1812, ii. 146. See also Lecky, 'Hist. of England', 1887, vi. 359. For Fox and Ireland see BMSat 6659, &c.

Licensing[edit]

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
