A block for the wigs or, the new state whirligig, Gillray, James, 1756-1815, artist, engraving 1783, a carousel on which sit government ministers Charles Fox, Lord North, Edmund Burke and Admiral Keppel. Beam in the center of the carousel platform is a pillar topped by a bust of King George III, a wig and Union Jack suspended over the bust. In the background two robbers lower a large bundle from the window of a building. An inscription above the cartoon reads Poor John Bull's house plunder'd at noon day. Reimagined by Gibon. Classic art with a modern twist
