Scope and Contents
Artist James Sayers. Published: Hannah Humphrey. Beaupré's equestrian statue of George III (as Marcus Aurelius) has advanced towards the brick wall of Berkeley Square; the King (right) looks through a spy-glass into the garden of Lansdowne House. Just above the wall appear hats with republican cockades which are being waved; labels ascend enclosing the words of the invisible speakers: 'Vive Barrere'; 'Ça ira ça ira'; 'Ça ira ça ira ça ira'. Behind (left) is the pediment of Lansdowne House and on the right are trees. Description from the British Museum.
