Summary
The interior of a blacksmith's forge. At the anvil stands Mansfield, in judge's robes, forging the links of a chain. A number of ministers stand round: Lord North in the foreground (left), holding up his lorgnette; in his right hand is "An Act for Prohibiting all Trade". Lord Sandwich stands by North, holding a hammer in one hand, an anchor in the other, apparently intending to break this emblem of the navy. Behind them stands Bute, working the bellows of the forge, looking over his shoulder at North while he works. Through a window on the left appears the head of the king who is smiling fatuously. 1 March 1776
