"Oct' 1, 1781 ..."
Satire on the ministry of Lord North and its handling of the war in America, published just after the British surrender at Yorktown; shows the Earl of Mansfield, seated, and the Earl of Sandwich keeping watch over the British lion asleep in a cradle around which are 4 barking dogs labeled "Holland", "America" who is urinating on a paper labeled "Tea Act", "France", and "Spain"; in the background, on the left, Gibraltar is under siege by the Spanish, and on the right, men (possibly George III) and dogs are hunting for stag.
