Medium: coloured engraving

Image description: An elaborate satire on the downward spiral of Lord North's government, depicting the ministry on the brink of a pit of chaos. The kings of France and Spain lead the hapless group, encouraged by a demon. King George III sits in the background, the ghost of the Earl of Chatham stands by warning of the impending danger. This print was released during a low point in George III's reign. In April the House of Commons passed a motion demanding the reduction of the King's power.
