Slavery (BM 1868,0808.3600), Satire on the unwillingness of the British government to go to war with Spain. A sea shore on which four Britons are pulling a plough and eating what appear to be beans (or perhaps faeces) driven by a Spaniard weilding a whip; a British lion rears up behind the driver looking back over his shoulder towards Robert Walpole who is in the act of drawing his sword. In the background, a Spaniard cuts off Captain Jenkins's ear and a Spanish warship fires on a British merchant ship which does not return fire.
