Abstract: "George III (right), in court dress, stands majestically, his left elbow resting on a column inscribed Fortitude; his head is turned in profile to the left; Britannia, beside him, raises her spear to threaten Hadfield, who drops his pistol and is dragged off by a winged demon by means of a halter. The demon says: "Hadfield for thy diabolical attempt, thou shall meet with thy reward". A festooned curtain is inscribed (right) 'God Save the King'."--British Museum online catalogue.
