Date Created/Published: London : Pub. April 15, 1792 by S W Fores, 1792.
Summary: Print shows George III sitting at a table with the Queen and two of his daughters, and the Queen's Keeper of the Robes, Juliana Elizabeth Schwellenbergen holding a bottle of 'Brandy', discussing the use of sugar in moderation. Princess Elizabeth states that 'of late I have been very moderate. But I must have a bit now & then'; while her sister would 'rather want alltogether [sic] than have a small Piece'. The title is a play on the words 'of' and 'off'; the 'abolition' of 'the slave trade or leaving' off 'sugar by degrees.'
