 : Mort de Pitt, 1806


Mort de Pitt, 1806

The devil comes to claim Prime Minister William Pitt. A blind King George III stumbles over a sack of government crimes and falls into the abyss. This French print paints Pitt as the puppet master of the King. The gleeful reaction to his death shows how formidable an opponent he had been to the French war effort
