Title
The Pill the whole Pill & nothing but the Pill
Description
English: William IV leans back in profile to the left in a heavily-convoluted arm-chair, unwilling to take the pill which Grey proffers, saying, 'Pray Sire take this Pill it will renovate your Constitution'. Grey bends forward, a tumbler in the right hand, pill-box in the left. Durham stands truculently behind him, saying, 'Yes by G— he must, and shall take it, and we have many more for him to take'. Brougham, his gown looped up behind his back as in BM Satires No. 16790, leans on the arm of the King's chair, saying, 'Should it not quite, exactly meet our expectations recollect Sire that I—I am the keeper of your My's Conscience'. July 16 1831

Notes

(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) For the King and the Reform Bill cf. No. 16673, &c. As arch-egotist Brougham resembles Erskine, see No. 9246. For the slogan of the title see No. 16683. A close imitation of H. B.; the King is copied from No. 16682.

'P' is a 'B' with the bottom part crossed out in each example of the word 'Pill'.

Licensing

[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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
