Image description

Prime Minister William Pitt and King George III prepare to defend Ireland from an impending French invasion. They are accompanied by an army of harridans. A boat approaches, filled with devils bearing liberty bonnets and a guillotine. The French revolutionary government decided to invade Ireland during the war against Britain. They were encouraged by Irish republicans who wanted an independent country. The attack failed due to extreme weather.
