Caricature of the Prince of Wales. A Welsh red dragon denounces the figure of Prince Charles, the latter with a fantastically elongated neck, and exagerated head, nose, teeth and ears. The Prince wears a braided tunic, cravat, a fur cape, socks and high-heeled shoes. In his right hand he holds a leek and in his left, a shield, the latter depicting a coat of arms featuring a dodo with the head of Prince Charles wearing the Prince of Wales feathers as a hat. The dragon has wings, clawed feet and breathes fire with words in the fire. Printed in black, red, yellow and grey. Text on image, in fire from dragon, 'There'll be a welcome in the hillside for you alright, Boyo', and, on the shield, 'INVESTITURE SOUVENIR SNOWDON APPROVED A SIGN OF GOOD DESIGN'
