摘要
这里展示的版画大致是基于迈达斯国王的寓言,他有能力把他接触到的一切变成金子。吉尔雷巧妙地将这个传说颠倒了,以适应威廉·皮特担任英国首相期间的一件具体事件。正如标题所示,皮特被描绘成迈达斯国王,把他吸入的硬币变成了纸币。他的尸体是一个锁得严严实实的金币袋,上面标着“英镑”。他跨站在英格兰银行(bank of England)上,焦急的债主们在下面慌慌张张地跑来跑去,试图抓住作为纸币喷涌而出的硬币。
The print shown here is based loosely on the fable of King Midas, who had the power of transforming all he touched into gold. Gillray has cleverly reversed the legend to fit a specific incident during William Pitt's administration as prime minister of England. As the title indicates, Pitt is pictured as King Midas, transforming the coins he inhales into paper money. His body is a securely locked bag of gold coins, marked "£." He stands astride the bank of England, while anxious creditors scurry below, trying to catch the coins that spew forth as paper money.
