Dun-Shaw [graphic]Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[7 March 1788]eng"Dundas as a colossus (a shah or bashaw of the Indies) straddles across the ocean, one foot on the roof of the India House (left), the other on a piece of land on the extreme right representing Bengal. In the sea below his outstretched legs are several ships in full sail making for Bengal; the nearest is inscribed 'troops'. Dundas wears a turban and crown, a cloak and oriental tunic with a kilt, bare knees and tartan stockings. His turban is inscribed 'Charged Mr F------with a design to shift the Crown from the Monarch's to his own head. Mr D speech'. His arms are extended above his head pointing to, and nearly grasping, a sun in the upper left corner of the design and to a crescent moon in the upper right corner. Both have faces which look down with dismayed surprise at Dundas, who looks towards the sun. Beneath the title is inscribed: '"One Foot in Leadenhall Street, & the other in the Province of Bengal." Vide Mr D------s Speech.'"--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Attributed to Gillray in the British Museum catalogue.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Temporary local subject terms: Dundas's quarrel with East India Company -- Face on the sun -- Man in the moon -- Ships carrying troops to India -- Indian patronage -- Dundas's attack on the East India Bill -- Dundas as a Bashaw -- Hats -- Bengal -- East India House.1 print : aquatint and etching on laid paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 41.9 x 27.1 cm, on sheet 42.6 x 27.6 cm.Mounted on leaf 28 of volume 2 of 12.
