Het committè van bondgenootschap [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[1796]dutfreeng"Seven men, closely grouped, fight and scuffle confusedly. On the ground (left) are the arrows of the seven United Provinces, broken and separated, a cat plays with the ribbon which binds them (the symbolical bond of union, cf. BMSat 5712). A National Guard has taken one of the arrows and drives it into the head of a man whose eye he tries to gouge out, and who grasps another antagonist by the wig. One raises a chair to smite, another empties a wine-bottle on an opponent."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Artist identified as Hess and printmaker questionably identified as Gillray in the British Museum catalogue.Place and date of publication from British Museum catalogue.Possibly published by Hannah Humphrey.
