The Ormond Street Alexander killing his Bucephalus with a look!!! (BM 1868,0808.5384), Thurlow, the Lord Chancellor, stands holding the ears of his horse (left) with a scowl.  He wears riding-dress with bands and his Chancellor's wig; his rightiding-whip and hat are on the ground. Behind (right) four men stand together in a row watching him with amusement. They are (left to right) the Prince of Wales, Fox, Burke wearing a Jesuit's biretta (cf. BMSat 6026), and North. Trees, lightly sketched, form a background.
Beneath the title is etched the newspaper paragraph which the print illustrates:
'The C---r was taking an airing a few days ago, on horseback, near Highgate, the horse unfortunately stumbled, and had nearly thrown his rider. His Lordship, enraged at this faux pas, alighted, and, taking the beast by the ears, looked him sternly in the face: the poor affrighted horse instantly trembled every limb [sic], and fell into a violent sweat; the trembling continued so long that his lordship was obliged to mount his servant's horse, and ride back to town. - We hear that the horse is since dead! - It is a C------s misfortune; not his fault, that God should have bestowed upon him an austerity of countenance, dreadful enough to frighten man or beast to death.
Morning Herald, Novemr 4, 1784'   9 November 1784

オーモンド・ストリートのアレクサンダーがブケファロスを一目見て殺す!!。馬の着ぐるみを着ており、帽子と帽子を地面に着けている。後ろに4人の男が並んで、遊びで彼を見ている。ウェールズ王子、フォックス、バーク、ノース。木は、明るいスケッチで背景を形成している。タイトルの由来は新聞の欄に「数日前、馬に乗ってハイゲート付近で、馬が不幸にも馬をき散らした。馬が馬を投げそうになった」と書かれている。領主は、このファウスク・パパに激怒し、歓喜し、獣を耳に受けて、彼を厳しい顔で見つめた。- 馬が死んでからそうそうです!----不幸な事、神が彼に奇妙な奇妙さを与え、人間や獣を怖がらせるのは、そのせいではない。1784年11月9日付の『モーニング・ヘラルド』
