The king (left) and Wilkes (right) stand together, each with his right arm on the other's shoulder. Wilkes says, "I now find that you are the best of Princes" [cf. BMSat 5979]; the king says, "Sure! the worthiest of Subjects &amp; most Virtuous of men". Wilkes holds the staff of Liberty reversed, the cap resting on the ground. From his coat-pocket hang two papers, 'Nh B N° 45' and 'Essay on Woman' (cf. BMSat 5245).  Beneath the design is etched:
<p><br><br>'O rare Forty five! 
<br>O dear Prerogative!
<br><br>The Wolf shall dwell with the Lamb, &amp; the Leopard shall lie down with the Kid; &amp; the Calf &amp; the young Lion &amp; the Failing together: &amp; a little Child shall lead them.                                              Isaiah.  Chap. xi. V. xvi.'  1 May 1784
