Thought to be created by George Moutard Holland. Published by William Holland. George III and Queen Charlotte are seated on opposite sides of a round table. The King, in profile to the right, his hands on his knees, raises his head to look through a telescope which stands on the table, supported on a tripod. He is watching two comets, one shooting upwards (left to right) with the head and bag-wig of Pitt, the other, in the upper right corner of the design, with the crowned head of Catherine II, looking down menacingly at Pitt; a collision is imminent. The King says, "What! What! what terrible threatning Aspects!! - But they are a monstrous way asunder - they can never come together - My dear, my dear you can not conceive how red and fiery their tails are!!!" The Queen sits, pen in hand, left hand on a large sheet of paper. She smiles complacently at the King, saying, "If you will give me leave, my love, I'll calculate it to an inch - you know I am used to conjunctions". On the table is a large book. Etching.
