A witch, upon a mount's edge.-Vide: Fuzelli., James Gillray, 1791

Lady mount-edgcumbe as a lean and ragged witch sits in profile to the right on a rocky mound overlooking the sea, her seat being a bundle of brooms. She supports her chin and nose on her right hand, the elbow resting on her knee. Her left arm is outstretched, pointing, her finger-nails are talons. Her hair blows out behind her from a bald forehead, and is on fire, the smoke rising into the sky. A frog at her feet (right) looks up at her. Behind is the sea with ships in full sail, indicating the view from mount-edgcumbe, plymouth. 17 october 1791 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1791. Dimensions: Height: 274 mm; Width: 197 mm. Medium: paper. Depicted People: Henry Fuseli. Collection: British Museum. A witch, upon a mount's edge.-Vide- Fuzelli. (BM Y,5.38)
