Image description

King George III the farmer drives his 'Broad bottom'd pigs' out of office and into the sea, crying 'if the Devil or the Pope has got possession of you all - pray get out of my farm yard!'. Gillray's print satirises the dismissal of the Grenville Ministry, nicknamed 'Broad-bottomed'. The King had asked his ministers to pledge that they would never raise the issue of Catholic emancipation again. When they refused, the King sacked them.
