Baron Edward Thurlow, a prominent figure in British politics during the late 18th century, was known for his involvement in various political controversies and power struggles. His actions and influence were often depicted through satirical prints and drawings by renowned artists of the time. One such print titled "The Pitt Fall" from January 1789, created by Frederick George Byron, captures the downfall of Prime Minister William Pitt under Thurlow's watchful eye. It symbolizes Thurlow's cunning nature and ability to manipulate political situations to his advantage. Another notable artwork featuring Thurlow is "Edward, Lord Thurlow" by Francesco Bartolozzi in 1782. This portrait showcases his dignified appearance as he held the position of Lord Chancellor at that time. In "The Modern Egbert, or The King of Kings, " also dated January 8, 1789, we see a depiction of Thurlow as a powerful figure who holds immense control over India and Britain. This image highlights his role in colonial affairs and suggests an air of arrogance surrounding him. Thurlow's controversial influence on Parliament is further portrayed in Thomas Rowlandson's print titled "Secret Influence Directing The New P-l-t [Parliament], " which dates back to May 18, 1784. This work insinuates that behind closed doors, Thurlow manipulates parliamentary decisions for personal gain. Rowlandson also illustrated another piece called "The Drum Major of Sedition" on March 29, 1784. Here we witness how Thurlow is seen as instigating unrest among the masses through seditious acts against the government. "The State Auction, " created by Rowlandson on March 26, 1784 depicts an auction where corrupt politicians like it can selling off their ill-gotten gains from India and Britain. This satirical portrayal sheds light on Thurlow's involvement in financial misconduct.
