About This Item
London: Hannah Humphrey, 1810. Wraps. Very good. Gillray, James. 51.5 x 39 cm. Etching with hand coloring on wove paper. "A fantastic scene in Oxford representing Grenville's installation as Chancellor, which took place at Commemoration, 3 July 1810. Grenville rises in a balloon above a vast applauding crowd; his inflated and spherical posterior fits into the shallow bowl which forms the car. He wears a papal tiara and his Chancellor's gown." Corners chipped with some loss.
