- Abstract
-
"An adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 10039, by Gillray, the place of George III being taken by 'Blucher', the name on a ribbon worn over his uniform. The horse (left) is a restive charger instead of a hunter standing quietly. Blücher leans towards the pack in a fierce attitude, unlike that of the King. The grip of the hand on the fox's neck is as before, and the fox with the profile head of Napoleon registering despair is closely copied. In place of six hounds there are fourteen, six with names on their collars: 'Wellington', 'Swartsenberg', 'Crown Prince' [Bernadotte], 'D. York', 'Kutusoff', 'Row' [with a fourth letter which is perhaps 'L'], Two monarchs wearing crowns gallop up from the right, on a larger scale than the tiny horsemen headed by Pitt in British Museum Satires No. 10039. In the background (right) is a flaming town."--British Museum online catalogue.
