Gillray039 ~ 'The Jubilee' ~ Originally published by Hannah Humphrey, London : August 2nd, 1782. This late 'Bohn' edition circa 1851 with additional print on reverse. ~ Uncolored Etching ~ Gillray pokes fun at Charles Fox, Lord Shelburne,the new First Lord of the Treasury, and General Conway, the Commander-in-chief. Conway is compared with Little Red Riding Hood, who has been hood-winked and is led in triumph by the double-faced Premier. The younger members of the new Cabinet are represented as rats, in allusion to their alleged desertion of their principles and party.
