EDITORS COMMENTS

The image captures a group of prominent figures from that era, including the likes of Viscount Melville and the Duke of Grafton. These individuals played influential roles in shaping the political landscape during this time. The composition is rich with detail and color, showcasing Rowlandson's mastery as an etcher. Each character is meticulously depicted, allowing us to recognize familiar faces such as George IV (the Prince Regent) and William Pitt the Younger. Their expressions hint at their respective personalities and positions within society. The title "State Butchers" adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. It suggests that these individuals were involved in wielding power or making decisions that may have had far-reaching consequences for the nation. Perhaps it alludes to their role in shaping policies or executing actions deemed necessary for maintaining stability. Rowlandson's work serves as both a historical document and a visual commentary on power dynamics during this period.
