Johny Mac-Cree in the Dumps!!, 12 April 1805
Scope and Contents
Artist: Isaac Cruikshank. Published: S. W. Fores. Two elderly Scots discuss the Melville case; one, wearing old-fashioned court dress with a sword, takes snuff from the other's ram's-horn mull; he says: "Touch the Sillar!!! - T'is a on disgrace on aw Scotland!" They have sly, twisted expressions. Melville (left), weeping, clutches the back of the speaker's coat. He wears Highland dress, and says: "What my ain Countrymen turn their backs on me! then tis aw up with Johny Mac-cree". On the right, Pitt runs off furtively to the right., saying, "I must cut out this Connexion - & leave him to his fate". Description from the British Museum.
