Pantagruel's victorious return to the court of Gargantua. After extirpating the soup-meagres of bouille land / Js. Gy. desn. et fect.
[London] : H. Humphrey, 1794.
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
The Duke of York (left), in regimentals and wearing a cocked hat, stands in profile to the right, tipsily swaggering; he hands to George III two large keys: 'Keys of Paris'. The King, seated on the throne (right) in hunting-dress, leans eagerly forward. The Duke is followed by soldiers bearing (worthless) trophies of victory. Behind the Duke are French weapons, broken: a sword inscribed 'Vive la Lib . .', a cannon similarly inscribed, cannon-balls, a musket, and a pile of decapitated heads wearing bonnets-rouges, on which tramples the Duke's secretary.
