Boreas Blubber; a Discarded Lilliputian Minister, 20 June 1791
Scope and Contents
Created by George Moutard Holland. Published by W. Holland. North stands turning his head in profile to the left, holding his right hand over his closed eyes. He wears a steeple-crowned hat, a large double ruff, gauntlet gloves, and a blue ribbon which conceals much of his person. In his hat is a scraggy branch, perhaps an olive branch indicating his attitude to the Russian Armament. He wears gauntlet gloves and his shoes have large rosettes. Beneath the title is etched: 'Let Lilliput, dissolve in tears, For I'm lugg'd out by head and ears!'. Hand-coloured etching. Description from the British Museum.
