H Beard Print Collection is a 12 by James Gillray, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a group of men in wigs pointing at a tax notice on a post. One man looks angry. A dog stands between them, head down. The print mocks a new tax on dogs meant to raise money. The angry man is likely William Pitt, the Prime Minister pushing the tax. Others may be political rivals like Charles Fox. Check out more satirical prints by Gillray, James.
