Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

The Treacherous Patriot Unmask'd (William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath) NPG D9351

by Unknown artist

This biting satire - The Treacherous Patriot Unmask'd (1742) - attacked Pulteney for refusing to accept command for a third time. With his public face slipped to reveal a devil behind the civic mask, this print says much about the way polite, oil portraiture could be read as flattering and misleading propaganda.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
