Title
The Prophet of the Hebrews,-the Prince of Peace,-conducting the Jews to the Promis'd Land
Description
Richard Brothers, dressed as a sans-culotte carries on his back a ‘Bundle of the Elect’ from which protrudes the heads and legs of Charles James Fox, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Charles Stanhope and William Petty. All figures wear the bonnet-rouge. Behind this grouping walk Jews, the most prominent a peddler with an open box of trinkets. On the right is the sun, wearing a bonnet-rouge and surrounded by the points of a star, which drips blood. This is yet another print connecting Fox and other British figures with the bonnet-rouge and therefore the French.
