| Description |
English: The interior of a luxuriously furnished room, across one corner of which is a large folding screen. Behind the screen (left) a man stands on a chair looking over it, while a footman in livery crouches beside him looking round it at a pair of lovers: a fashionably dressed young military officer sprawls on a sofa, with his arms round the waist of a pretty young woman. On the ground beside them a mandoline lies across a music-book. On a small ornate table are fruit and a bottle. The fire-place, chimney-piece, candelabra, and a landscape in an ornate frame indicate a handsomely furnished room. The man looking over the screen is elderly and dressed in an old-fashioned manner with tie-wig, flapped waistcoat, and sleeves with wide cuffs. February 1792

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) There is, also, a coloured impression in 'Caricatures', ix, 191. The lovers have been identified as Mrs. Walsh and General Upton, who, however, looks too young to be a general, nor was there a general of this name in the Army List at this date. Grego, 'Rowlandson', i. 306. Reproduced, Fuchs, 'Die Frau in der Kari-katur', 1906, p. 90. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
