Abstract:

"Pitt's 'Propositions' for freedom of commerce between England and Ireland are supported on an Irish harp which rests on a rectangular framework above a fire which is being made to blaze by North and Fox. North (left, as Boreas), on hands and knees, his cheeks inflated, blows at the flames; Fox (right), seated on a bulky roll inscribed 'Petition from the Cotton Manufacture[rs]', plies a pair of bellows. The fuel of the fire consists of papers inscribed 'Rumour', 'Evidence at the Bar' (2), 'Pamphlets', 'Pleadings at ye Bar' (2), 'Arguments'. The flames and smoke which extend above their heads are inscribed 'Distrust', 'To Scotland', 'Discontent', 'To the Chamber of Commerce', 'Objections', 'Jealousy', 'To Manchester'."--British Museum online catalogue.
