The Introduction, 22 November 1791
Scope and Contents
Created by James Gillray. The Duke of York leads his bride to the King and Queen, who are seated side by side on the throne (right), much caricatured, making gestures of eager greed. The King looks through a glass, the Queen holds out her apron to catch the coins which the Duchess holds in her apron. Behind the pair on the extreme left walks a gigantic Prussian soldier with extravagantly long moustaches, carrying a large money-bag under each arm, inscribed '£100000' and '£100 . . .' Hand coloured etching. Description from the British Museum.
