Footnotes
Literature
White, Mary, Drinking at the Whites' House, Vol. 2, 2021, p. 272
King Frederick II of Prussia (1712-1786), popularly known as Frederick the Great, was the nephew of King George II. The present lot probably celebrates the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) in which Great Britain and Prussia were in alliance against Saxony, France and Russia. Frederick's many military achievements meant that he was almost more popular in England than King George himself. A similar example is in the Victoria & Albert Museum (inv. no.CIRC.249-1920) and another from the Sampson and Horne Collection was sold by Bonhams on 28 April 2010, lot 288.
