- Abstract:
- "A broadside satirising the fall of James II; with an etching formerly attributed to de Hooghe. King James (1) lies in an ornate bed, wearing a Jesuit's cap encircled by a crown, vomiting a stream of reptiles with crowns, papal tiaras, cardinals' hats and Jesuit caps; further reptiles emerge from the foot of the bed where broken shackles lie on the floor.. In the centre stands the finely dressed Lord Mayor of London (2) holding his nose, a dog with a spiked collar at his side, and to the right Aldermen and Bishops (3). To the left, beside the bed, a double-faced physician (4) holds up a urinal in one hand while feeling the king's pulse with the other. The Lord Chancellor (5; George Jeffreys) stands on the other side of the bed, holding his nose and pointing to the doctor as the cause of the king's sickness. Mary of Modena (6) sits on the extreme right pointing across the room to the Prince of Wales. The Archbishop of Canterbury (7) stands behind her with the other bishops holding out his hand to receive a sealed package from a masked Jesuit (8). The Prince of Wales (9), holding an orb or ball and toy windmill is sitting in the lap of his nurse (10) who spoon-feeds him while she listens to a monk who gestures with his left hand as he speaks. Behind them Father Petre (11) receives a passport and is sent on his way together with Quakers and other sectaires (12) including Anabaptists surviving from the days of Cromwell. Through an archway in the background the sun rises on the Dutch fleet (13) setting sailing to bring relief to England. Engraved Latin title and Latin and Dutch inscriptions, and with Dutch letterpress verses, including legend, in three columns."--British Museum online catalogue
