Iconographic Collections

English: A satirical lithographic print which illustrates the plot of The Golden Rump, a farcical play of unknown authorship (though often ascribed to Henry Fielding) said to have been written in 1737. The play has never been performed on stage or published in print, and since no manuscript survives there is doubt over whether it ever existed in full. The play was first mentioned in an anonymous allegory called A Vision of the Golden Rump published in two parts in the Opposition journal Common Sense on 19 and 26 March 1737. According to an article in The Rambler's Magazine (1787), pp. 484–485, The Golden Rump was allegedly written at Robert Walpole's instigation to encourage King George II to bring in the Licensing Act 1737 which empowered the Lord Chamberlain to approve all theatre plays before they were staged.
