'The Times,' 1762. A representative of King George III fights a fire (the Seven Years War), which is burning down houses representing Germany and France, whilst William Pitt is presented as an idol on stilts, worshipped by the aldermen of London and the London mob - he fans the flames with bellows; a house on left (representing England) sinks into decrepitude.
