Thunder, lightning and smoke, or, the wind shifted from the north to the east, British Cartoon Print
Резюме
Print shows Sir Philip Francis(?) standing, facing right, with dagger in left hand, on the far right, Warren Hastings, wearing a turban, is standing amid bags of money beneath a flag "India Preserved" and against thunder and lightning coming from Edmund Burke and Charles James Fox whose heads are atop a weathervane labeled "Impeachment" which is supported by Francis, the "Source." A cloud of smoke extends to the left behind Burke and Fox, it obscures a "Coal[i]tio[n]" beneath which sits Lord North in rags with a flag "America Lost" and an "M.T." purse. The smoke screen on the left contains several statements: "He has utterly ruined his country!" -- "Hold the man infamous that associates with him!" -- "Consider the man curst that goes over the threshold with him!" -- "We will not suffer him to escape" -- "We pledge ourselves to bring him to the Scaffold!!!" -- "We will not rest till we have brought him to the Block!!!"; the thunder and lightning (or the wind that has shifted from North to Hastings) contains flowers and dice; Burke and Fox, holding the cup, appear to have cast their lot with Hastings who looks alarmed.
