'The Reception in 1770', 1770. George III, in his state coach, is driven along an empty street by the Prime Minister, the Duke of Grafton, dressed as a jockey. Around them figures comment on the lack of attending crowds. The satire refers to the popular discontent with the King's conduct ten years after his acclamation in 1760.
