Waare afbeelding van Lord George Gordon, gevolgt na het echte pourtret. (A true likeness of Lord George Gordon, taken from his real portrait) (BM J,1.162), A (supposed) room in the Tower of London.  A man (very unlike Gordon) clasps his hands and exclaims in despair. He wears a wig laced coat, &c, has black bushy eyebrows. The back wall of the room consists of stone arches, the two behind the prisoner (right) being filled with a rectangular pattern of stout iron bars, through which appear buildings a gallows, and the execution of rioters. On the extreme right is the cart in which a man stands, another is suspended from the gallows. Two men stand below, one a clergyman; behind are the faces of a crowd of spectators the masts of ships appearing above their heads. The arch on the left of these gratings is filled with a heavy door in which is a small aperture, through which can be seen the head of the 'Warden' who is watching his prisoner one finger raised admonishingly.
The room, though of dungeon-like appearance, is furnished with chairs and tables of elaborate design. On the right is a round table with a festooned cloth, showing carved legs with claw-feet. On a round table on the left are elaborately bound and clasped books and writing materials. Beneath the title is an explanation, of which the following translation is pasted on the print: "Representing his Lordship in a wild despairing situation; occasioned bythe News told him bythe Warden of the Tower, viz. several of the Rioters and particularly Jack Ketch [cf. BMSat 5679] were hanged (which is seen; through the Grate), which News his Lordship heard with great astonishment, but without emotion; standing at a Table covered with victuals and drink: but as soon as left alone, he flew like a wild Creature, stamping with his Foot on the floor of the Prison (which is here represented to the Life); the noise which his lordship made, made the Warden return to look through the Wicket of the door to hear what was the matter, by which means he not only was an eye Witness, but who heard his Lordship exclaim with folded hands, O Heaven! - O God! - was I then to be the occasion to bring so many unfortunate People to this shameful Death! Commons of Britain, wherefore was I not understood. Never did I think of making a Riot (then he kept silence for some time - ). After that with a frightfull loud Passion, he cried O God! - what shall be my Fate?" c.1780-1

ヴァン・ロードのジョージ・ゴードンを崇拝するヴァーレ。(肖像画から見たジョージ・ゴードン卿の真似)ゴードンと違って、男は手を握り、絶望して叫ぶ。鬘の毛のコートを着ており、黒くて毛深い眉毛をしている。部屋の裏壁は石のアーチで構成されており、囚人の背後にいる2人は、絞首台の建物と暴徒の処刑に見える頑丈な鉄の棒の長方形のパターンで満たされている。右端には、男が立っている荷車があり、もう1台は絞首台から吊り下げられている。下の2人、聖職者1人、後ろには群衆の顔が、頭上に船のマストが現れる。格子の左側のアーチには、小さな開口部である重いドアが埋め込まれており、その中から、諭して掲げる囚人の指を眺めている「看守」の頭が見える。部屋はダンジョンのような外観だが、椅子と精巧なデザインのテーブルが備え付けられている。右側には丸いテーブルに布を飾り、爪の爪で脚を刻んだ姿が表されている。左の丸いテーブルには、精巧に縛られ、本や筆記資料を握り締められている。タイトルの由来は、印刷物に「絶望的な状況で彼の主の位を示す。時折、タワーの守護者、ヴィズによって彼に伝えられたニュースによって。数人のライア、特にジャック・ケッチ[cf. BMSat 5679]が絞首刑にされた。グレイト)を通して、彼の支配が大きな驚きを持って聞いたが感情がない。勝利と飲み物で覆われたテーブルに立っている。しかし、彼はすぐに飛んで行った。- 神様!- こんなに不幸な人たちをこんなに恥ずかしい死まで連れて行く機会になった!イギリス庶民、それまでは理解できなかった。をうとは思ひもなき(そのときも沈黙を守った。その後、恐ろしいほどの大声でパッションを上げ、彼は「お神様、私の運命はどうなるだろう」と叫んだ。c.1780-1 レタプレスのテキストによるエッチング
