Title:
Gloria Mundi, or The Devil addressing the sun - Pare. Lost, Book IV
Abstract: Cartoon showing Charles James Fox standing on a roulette wheel perched atop a globe showing England and continental Europe, the implication is that his penniless state, indicated by turned-out pockets, is due to gambling; he looks over his left shoulder up at a bust of Shelburne who, like the sun, is beaming radiantly. Like Edmund Burke, Fox resigned his position as foreign secretary in protest at the appointment of Shelburne following Rockingham's death. Physical description: 1 print : etching. Notes: Exhibited: Gillray and the Art of Caricature.; Forms part of: British Cartoon Prints Collection (Library of Congress). |
