Image description

Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford (1676-1745) attempted to control the stage and prevent seditious Jacobite attacks on him and George II with the Licensing Act of 1737. To support his case, he quoted in parliament from a farce 'The Golden Rump' which used a large pair of buttocks as scenery from which satirized political figures would appear.
