God save the King,-in a bumper.or-an evening scene, three times a week at Wimbleton., James Gillray, 1795

Pitt and dundas are tipsily carousing at a rectangular table from which the cloth has been removed. Pitt, wearing spurred top-boots, sits on the corner of the table in profile to the left, his chair behind him at the head of the table. Dundas (left), wearing a plaid across his shoulders, sits full-face, turning his head in profile to the right, and waving a tobacco-pipe towards pitt. They touch glasses, each holding his glass in the left hand; pitt tries to fill them, but with the bottle reversed, spilling its contents. On the table is a decanter of 'brandy', a bottle on its side, a clutter of empty bottles, glasses, pitt's broken pipe, and a plate of food. In the foreground are bottles in a wine-cooler, and under the table is a chamber-pot on which is a figure of britannia. Above the heads of the topers: '"send us victorious, "happy and glorious, "long to reign. - go it my boy! "billy my boy, all my joy, - god save the king!' 27 may 1795 hand-coloured etching.
