[edit]DescriptionThe Old Lady of Threadneedle St.png |
English: Political Ravishment, or The Old Lady of Threadneedle-street in Danger!, a satirical cartoon attacking Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger's decision on 26 January 1797 to temporarily forbid the Bank of England from paying out in gold, having it issue banknotes instead. This cartoon is thought to be the origin of the nickname "Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" for the Bank of England. The male figure is William Pitt the Younger.
