James Gilray - A Toadstool Upon a Dung Hill - 1791


The head of Pitt, gazing up in profile to the right, is travestied as a fungus; his long neck represents the stalk, which grows out of a crown resting on a dunghill on which are three satellite toad-stools. Clouds and landscape, slightly indicated, form a background. 20 December 1791 Hand-coloured etching - The British Museum
