Summary

Design in an oval. Used as a frontispiece to second edition (1785) of 'The Westminster Election' and probably designed for it. Britannia seated on a throne (right) raised on three steps holds out a laurel wreath towards the Duchess of Devonshire who is led towards her by the draped figures of Liberty (left) holding the staff and cap of Liberty, and Fame (right) with her trumpet. The British lion lies at Britannia's feet (right) looking over its shoulder at the Duchess. Beneath the title is etched:

'"She smiles -

Infused with a Fortitude from Heaven"! Vide Shakespears Tempest.' 25 May 1784 [So dated by Grego]

Etching printed on pale blue paper
