Image description

A satire on the resignation of John Stuart Earl of Bute (Prime Minister), Sir Francis Dashwood (Chancellor of the Exchequer), and Henry Fox (Leader of the Commons). 'Excise' gleefully depicts the resignations as hangings. In 'Resignation' Bute's downfall is celebrated with a lewd poem alluding to the widely believed affair between the Prime Minister and Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales (George III's mother).
