Scotch Harry's news, or, Nincumpoop in high glee : vide news from India.
[London] : Pubd. May 23d 1792 by H. Humphrey, [1792]
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
The heads and shoulders of King George III and Queen Charlotte (left) and of Henry Dundas (right) face each other; Dundas holds a letter with a broken seal postmarked Bristol; he leans forward with a satisfied and cunning smile, saying, "Seringapatam is taken! Tippo is wounded! & Millions of Pagodas secured." He wears a plaid across his shoulders and a legal wig. The King and Queen, much caricatured, have expressions of surprised delight; George III, who wears a hunting-cap, raises his hands, saying, "Tally ho! ho! ho! ho!" Queen Charlotte, beside and behind him, says, "O the dear, sweet Pagodas".
Peel, Robert, 1788-1850, former owner.
