This print shows a revision of the Glorius Sextumvirate shown in James Barry's original 'Elysium and Tartarus' painted in the Society's Great Room. The print gives a date of 1 May 1795 but when first published they did not have any lettering (the Society does hold one of these prints). The version which included the inscritption was not ready until 1800. Comparison of the 1795 and 1800 versions shows the changes Barry made.

This print was Barry's attack on the condition of contemporary England. It praises the birth of Liberty in North America and its demise in England. The print was quite a forceful indictment on the establishment and this may explain why Barry did not actually sign it.
Print of the Thames painted by James Barry in the Society's Great Room. The print is dated 1 May 1791 but this is far too early as the addition of the naval pillar to the painting was not made until late 1801, early 1802.
