Description |
English: A broadside satire contrasting Pitt's attitude to peace negotiations with Bute's. On the left, under a heading "Time was!", Pitt (who resigned as Secretary of State in October 1761) complains "... During my Continuance [in office] our Successes brought us into universal Esteem: and Since my Absence how much Degenerated!"; papers on the table refer to the "family Compact" between France and Spain, to the importance of the fishing rights on the Newfoundland Banks, his determination that "No Places we have Conquer'd shall be Given up", and demands for the restitution of the Antigallican, a British privateer impounded by the Spanish; a bundle of notes is lettered "No Plem[i]naries". On the right, under a heading, "Time is!" Bute balances precariously with one foot on the top of an obelisk, a dagger dangling above his head, one leg is clothed in tartan; in his hands he holds papers lettered, "Advantageous Articles For the French King" and "Mu friends and Countrymen [i.e., the Scots] things being as they are rest Satisfied"; an all-seeing eye looks on from the top right hand corner. Four obsequious Scotsmen kneel on the ground at left while a group of soldiers and sailors on the right call to him, "D[am]n your Civility whers Newfound Land". Letterpress verses in two columns below, with one vertical segment of type ornament. ([London, Ewart: 1762]) |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
