- Abstract
-
"Sheridan stands in profile to the left, with fallen jaw and disconcerted expression, before a hoarding across the front of Carlton House, in which is a lion's-head knocker which looks fiercely at him. Over the hoarding appear the huge hands, head, and shoulders of Big Sam, the (former) porter at Carlton House (see British Museum Satires No. 7905), wearing a round hat with a curled brim and the motto 'Ich dien'. He looks down, saying, "no Admittance Sir We are all loyal". On the hoarding (right) are two play-bills: 'Drury Lane The Second Part of King Henry the IV .... The Manager in Distress' (by George Colman, 1780, here an allusion to Sheridan's position); 'Covent Garden Venice preser[ved] or a Plot discove[red]' (Otway, 1682)."--British Museum online catalogue
