- Abstract
-
"Satire identifying George II with his electorate of Hanover, showing the Hanoverian landscape and his profile head in trompe l'oeil; the king is shown with a moustache in the style typical of a German soldier of the period. The landscape carries numbers referring to a key beneath suggesting that trade in Hanover is in a state of decay: 1. Herrenhausen; 2. Manufacture of Boars Heads (a ruined building); 3. Do. of Hams (a farm); 4. The Town of Hanover; 5. Manufacture of Linnen (a distant village); 6. Do. of Bonporenicole (a fortress; a reference to the lack of provisions for British troops in Germany, see BM Satire 2584); 7. Beggars Cambrick (another village); 8. Hunting House; 9. The (Army) Camp; 10. The River Leyne; 11. The Alder (a lake in the foreground where men are fishing)."--British Museum online catalogue
