Image description

The Duke of York in regimentals and wearing a cocked hat, tipsily swaggering, handing the keys of Paris to George III (1738-1820); followed by soldiers bearing (worthless) trophies of victory. characters from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift (1667-1745); Prime Minister William Pitt (1769-1806) seated on dais next to the king; Queen gleefully holding out an apron into which the Devil shovels coins from a sack. A satire on the futile successes and humiliating failures of the Flanders campaign
