In this artwork, George III and Lord Mansfield are portrayed seated on an open chaise, being pulled by two horses labeled "Obstinacy" and "Pride". The symbolism is clear - these figures are about to lead Britain into an abyss represented by the impending war with the American colonies. The artist's illustrative technique in sanguine engraving beautifully brings out the details of this historic scene. Every line and stroke adds depth to this engraved image, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone. This piece belongs to a collection that celebrates traditional art forms and historical moments. Looking at this print takes us back to an era when politics were rife with tension and conflict.
