| Title |
Throwing up his Majesty's fox hounds. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Lord Denbigh (right) stands in profile to the left on a country road, his aquiline nose exaggerated. A procession of six foxhounds, the last of which has just left his mouth, runs down his body and along the road from right to left. A fox runs across a field on the right and Denbigh holds out his right arm as if directing the hounds towards it. The road is edged by trees; a sign-post behind Denbigh has two arms, one (left) points "To Coventry", the other (right) "To Lutterworth". On the right is a milestone, "XI miles to Coventry". The background is an undulating landscape of grass and trees with a rectangular country house in the distance. 16 April 1782

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) Basil Feilding (1719-1800), Earl of Denbigh, was Master of the Royal Harriers and Foxhounds from 1762 until the change of ministry in March 1782. The post disappeared as a result of Burke's Bill of Economical Reform. Wraxall, 'Memoirs', 1884, ii. 287. The house probably represents Newnham Paddox, his estate in Warwickshire. Walpole called him in 1773 "the lowest and most officious of the Court-tools". 'Last Journals', 1910, i. 175. See BMSat 5763, 6162. |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
