'The Times, plate II', c1762 (1895). Scene representing the aftermath of the Seven Years war, with a statue of King George III at the centre. In the foreground the Earl of Bute operates a handpump to water a series of potted plants inscribed with the names of fictional Scottish placemen, perhaps a reference to the king's perceived reliance on an entourage of Scottish courtiers and ministers. A print from The Magazine of Art, Cassell and Company, Limited, London, Paris and Melbourne, 1895.
