A satire on the secret negotiations between Thurlow and the Prince of Wales during the King's insanity. Thurlow stands defiantly, putting on (turning) his coat, and saying, "This side will do as well as the Other". Beside him (left) is the Prince of Wales, a handkerchief to his face as if weeping, while he tramples on a paper: 'Prayer for Restoratn his Maj[esty's] Health'. Words are etched on both side of his head: 'Make Haste', addressed to Sheridan (left), who hastens from the door, carrying on his shoulders a trunk inscribed 'Despatches for C. F-x', and (right) 'We must keep up Appearances'. On the right Mrs. Fitzherbert is enthroned under a canopy on a circular dais; a lady (left), wearing the Prince's feathers in her hair, puts on her head a crown, saying, "Hail beautious Queen". Another lady (right) holds the orb. These are inscribed respectively 'Gloc' and 'Gum' and are identified by Miss Banks as Mrs. Dawkins and Miss Pigott.  16 November 1788
