Evening consolation [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[25 April 1785]eng"A companion print to BMSat 6790. Fox in the foreground (right) leans back disconsolately in a low chair; in his right hand is an empty purse, in the left 'Pitts Speech'. Beside him in his upturned hat are a dice-box and dice. On the left Burke, stripped to the waist, kneels before his three-legged stool on which is propped an open book inscribed 'Reform'; he is flagellating himself with a birch-rod held in his right hand, and a rosary attached to a cross in his left. Behind, as if seen in a camera obscura or through a window, North is embracing a young woman wearing tattered garments; above their heads is the view of an avenue inscribed 'St James's Park'."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Temporary local subject terms: Self-flagellation -- Allusion to reform -- Purses -- Gambling: dice and dice-box -- Furniture: stools -- Birch rods -- Crucifix -- Maidservants -- Kissing -- Pictures amplifying subject: St. James's Park -- Desperation -- Punishment -- Allusion to William Pitt, 1759-1806.1 print : etching on wove paper, hand-colored ; sheet 35.6 x 25.5 cm.Mounted on leaf 74 of volume 1 of 12.
