The bottomless-Pitt [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[16 March 1792]eng"Pitt stands in profile to the right, right hand extended, left hand resting on the table of the House of Commons, on which are books, &c. He says, "If there is a Fundamental deficiency why call for Papers?" The title and phrase (used by Pitt in debate) express the exaggerated attenuation of Pitt below the waist. He wears court-dress with a sword. The print is said to give a realistic impression of Pitt in debate. Cf. BMSat 8097."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Temporary local subject terms: Allusion to the House of Commons -- Furniture: table of the House of Commons -- Male costume: court dress, 1792.
