English: A new way to pay the national-debt / design'd by Helagabalis ; executed by Sejanus.

SUMMARY: Cartoon depicts a slovenly-attired King George III and Queen Charlotte standing before the Treasury with moneybags under their arms and with a surfeit of gold guineas overflowing their pockets and bursting from the fly of the King's breeches. William Pitt, his pockets similarly overflowing, hands the king another moneybag from a pile in a wheelbarrow. The Prince of Wales (heir to the throne) stands to the right, destitute in torn rags and missing a shoe; he is being handed a check saying "Accept £200000 from your friend Orleans". A quad-amputee sits on the ground to the left with an empty begging hat between the stubs of his prostheses-fitted legs. Posters on the wall read "Last Dying Speech of Fifty-Four Malefactors executed for robbing of a Hen-Roost" and "Just published for the benefit of Posterity: The Dying Groans of Liberty".

MEDIUM: 1 print : etching.
