Today disliked, and yet perhaps tomorrow again in favour so fickle is the mind of R-y-l-ty / [graphic]Carey, William Paulet, 1759-1839, printmaker[after 18 December 1783]engBetween two large pedestals, the one to the left topped with the head of George II, the one to the right with a sitting figure of George III, the Coalition ministers fall to the ground, their balance upset by a large platform, "New method of executing criminals (...)" pushed by George III with his foot. Charles Fox, who has already landed on the ground, grins announcing his intention of returning to power. Falling behind him, the frightened Lord North clutches the open "Budget" sack from which several documents fall out. Above him, Edmund Burke is about to lose his balance. The indifferent-looking George III busies himself blowing a large bubble, "Royal favour." The pedestals are inscribed, respectively, with the achievements of George II and the failures of George IIITitle from item.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Printmaker and publication date from British Museum catalogue.Mounted to 37 x 33 cm.
