EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "The Witches' Consultation," dates back to 1791 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the political satire of the time. The image depicts Prime Minister William Pitt, flanked by his subordinate ministers, Dundas and Thurlow, transformed into the infamous witches from Macbeth. Their sinister attire and broomsticks add a chilling touch to the scene. The witches, or rather the ministers, are gathered around a cauldron, which is not filled with the usual potion ingredients but instead holds a moon made up of the profiles of Queen Charlotte and King George III. The moon's unusual appearance symbolizes the political turmoil and tensions brewing within the monarchy. The cartoonist's use of the witches from Macbeth is a clever commentary on the political climate of the time. The witches' role in the play as omniscient beings who can foretell the future can be seen as a metaphor for the ministers' supposed ability to manipulate and influence the political landscape. The print's creation in December 1791 adds another layer of significance to the image. This was a time of great political instability, with the French Revolution causing widespread fear and uncertainty throughout Europe. The British government was grappling with the threat of revolution at home, and the relationship between the monarchy and the prime minister was fraught with tension. Overall, this print provides a unique insight into the political satire of the time and highlights the anxieties and tensions that were prevalent during this period in British history.
