The artist says about this:
Pictured: (from left to right, though not in order of cunning)
The Mini-brained Prince Regent, George,
Lord Edmund Blackadder the First, of the court of Elizabeth
Captain E Blackadder, of the Hull 3rd Battalion
Baldrick, a wretchedly stupid dogsbody
Lord Blackadder the time traveller, later King Edmund the third
and The Mad
Queen Elizabeth the first.
"The
sound of hoof beats 'cross the glade, Good folk, lock up your son and daughter,
Beware the deadly flashing blade, Unless you want to end up shorter. Black
Adder, Black Adder, with many an cunning plan. Black Adder, Black Adder, you
horrid little man." - a popular Anglo-Saxon rhyme
