A recruit for opposition from the temple of British worthies [print] / JS f.

Item no. 56 of a collection of prints by James Sayers (PML 146857); formerly part of an album of mounted prints, now disbound.
Cartoon shows the Marquis of Buckingham (George Nugent Temple Grenville), tall and bulky, stands against a measuring-post, wearing dark spectacles and with bare feet (his shoes lie beside him); Lord Derby (Edward Smith Stanley), standing on a table, adjusts the horizontal bar to his head. Buckingham says, "To Pitt I made my Proposition / But he rejected the Condition / So I enlist with Opposition" to a seated Charles James Fox, who is examining a document titled "Condition to be first Lord of the Admiralty" and holds a spear from whose tasselled head hangs a placard labeled "Watch Word Peace."
