A new way to pay the NATIONAL DEBT by James Gillray. King George III and Queen Charlotte standing before the Treasury, moneybags under their arms, their pockets (and the king's trousers) overflowing and bursting with coins (funds from the Treasury to cover Royal debts). William Pitt, his pockets full of coins, hands the king another moneybag taken from an overflowing wheelbarrow; the Prince of Wales, George IV, stands to the right looking destitute, being handed a note for ?200000 from his friend Louis Philippe Joseph, Duke of Orleans; a quadriplegic sits on the ground to the left with an overturned and empty hat between the stubs of his legs, which are fitted with prostheses.
