Anticipation, or, the contrast to the Royal hunt

Engraved caricature by and after Britons (pseudonym) (attributed to Viscount Townshend), published May 16th, 1782; numerous caricatured personages in different activities: having eyes examined, washing clothes, demolishing temple, running about on shoreline etc., naval battle in distance. It represents the restoration of England under the new ministry; the pillars that supported the Temple of Fame are being righted and put back in place; a soldier with sword in hand protects a Native, representing America, from a Dutchman who kneels in supplication, as a Frenchman and a Spaniard flee his menacing posture. Lord North is caricatured as a washerwoman, Lord Sandwich as a ballad-singer, and Lord Rockingham as an oculist restoring sight (and reason) to George III who will renounce the hunt and return to the affairs of state. - Library of Congress Engraved caricature by and after Britons (pseudonym) (attributed to Viscount Townshend), published May 16th, 1782; numerous caricatured personages in different activities: having eyes examined, washing clothes, demolishing temple, running about on shoreline etc., naval battle in distance.
