Title | Dumourier Dining in State at St James's, on the 15th of May, 1793 |
Description | Dumourier Dining in State at St James's, on the 15th of May, 1793 by James Gillray. Published 30 March 1793 by H. Humphrey, No. 18 Old Bond Street. “One of Gillray’s finest efforts, particularly impressive in colored impressions. Priestley bearing a mitre-crowned pie, Fox carrying the steaming head of Pitt on a platter garnished with frogs, and Sheridan holding the royal crown on a salver approach a table at which is seated the tatterdemalion figure of the French General Dumourier. Dumourier’s rumored invasion of England was never to take place but the nature of the trio’s putative allegiance and of their 'treasons in embrio' are marvelously evolved.” (British Museum # 8318). |
