| Description |
English: Satirical portrait of the Rev. John Horne, afterwards Horne Tooke, satirising his political ambitions showing him in full clerical robes sitting at a table holding in one hand a paper on which is written “mobs made after the Court Fashion by B. Procter, Millener of Brentford”. His other hand rests on a large book under which is a paper lettered “A Treatise on Inclosing Commons, addres’d to Sr. Jno Gibbins”. He was blind in one eye and is shown with a squint resembling that shown in Hogarth's print of Wilkes; his wig also echoes Wilkes's, its back is shown in a mirror on the wall behind him.

| Notes |
Horne had been a curate at Brentford since 1760 and provided a great deal of support for Wilkes in the 1768 election. The reference to Sir John Gibbins (or Gibbons) must be to the wealthy former MP for Wallingford who owned land in Middlesex. |

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:
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.  | ||||
