Scope and content
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 inscription was not ready until 1800. Comparison of the 1795 and 1800 versions shows the changes Barry made.
