Summary
Caricature of wealthy American politician and civic reformer Josiah Quincy, an outspoken apologist for Great Britain and an opponent of the War of 1812. Quincy stands stiffly on a rocky shore while fish frolic in the sea behind him. He wears a crown and a regal red and gold coat on whose breast is a pair of crossed codfish. He holds a scepter in his left hand, and says, "I Josiah the first do by this my Royal Proclamation announce myself King of New England, Novia Scotia and Passamaquoddy, -- Grand Master of the noble order of the Two Cod Fishes."
