Plate 8: above the design: 'french habits, n° 8'. Sir george shuckburgh, in the white draperies with tricolour border and white cap of a judge of the high court, stands full-face on a low platform of stone slabs. His right hand is raised as if expounding a principle. Two tufts of hair project laterally from under his cap, and his upper lip and chin are conspicuously long. His dress is approximately correct, except that the cap is larger and the draperies rest on the floor instead of being ankle-length. The black and white paving of bmsat 9208 is repeated in front of the judge. Behind him a long cushioned bench (indicating the house of commons) stretches across the design. 15 may 1798 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1798. Dimensions: Height: 262 mm; Width: 196 mm.
