The Treaty or Shabears Administration, 1757
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that offers a satirical glimpse into the political landscape of 18th century Britain. The artwork depicts the Pitt-Newcastle coalition, led by Prime Minister Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle. In this comical portrayal, the Duke is seen perched precariously on a turnstile roped to a table with the crown, symbolizing his delicate balance of power. Secretary of State William Pitt and Temple can be observed bowing before the Duke in deference. However, at the center stands Lord Bute, who eventually replaced Pitt as prime minister in 1762. This transition is hinted at through their positioning and facial expressions. The left side of the image showcases opposition to this coalition. Lord Lincoln, Newcastle's heir apparent, stands defiantly against it alongside John Shebbeare - an influential satirical writer whose work inspired the title of this piece. Through clever caricature and symbolism, this engraving captures not only political intrigue but also controversy within British Parliament during a crucial period marked by events such as the Seven Years' War. It provides insight into power dynamics between politicians and highlights tensions surrounding monarchy versus government authority. While its artist remains uncertain (possibly Pryse Campbell), "The Treaty or Shabears Administration" serves as both historical documentation and artistic commentary on Whig politics and statesmen during that era. This print invites viewers to explore themes of satire, balance, and influence within British
