Dead, positively dead
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
Print shows Thurlow standing defiantly, putting on (turning) his coat, and saying, "This side will do as well as the Other"; beside him (left) is the Prince of Wales, a handkerchief to his face as if weeping, while he tramples on a paper reading, 'Prayer for Restoratn his Maj[esty's] Health'; words are etched on both side of his head: 'Make Haste', addressed to Sheridan (left), who hastens from the door, carrying on his shoulders a trunk inscribed 'Despatches for C. F-x', and (right) 'We must keep up Appearances'. On the right Mrs. Fitzherbert is enthroned under a canopy on a circular dais; a lady (left), wearing the Prince's feathers in her hair, puts on her head a crown, saying, "Hail beautious Queen", while another lady (right) holds the orb. They are labeled respectively 'Gloc' and 'Gum'. Cf. George.
Peel, Robert, 1788-1850 former owner.
