The vulture of the Constitution

Print shows a monstrous vulture with the head of Pitt grasping in its left claw the crown and sceptre, and in the other the coronet of the Prince of Wales; the latter he crushes under the weight of his powerful talons, while he bites at the Prince's feathers, one of which he has already plucked out. The gorged bird's bulging breast is inscribed 'Treasury'; under the crown lies the torn 'Magna Charta'.
