- Abstract
-
"Wardle stands in a bedroom addressing a crowd in the street below through an open sash-window flush with the floor. Behind him stands Mrs. Clarke (left), with arms outstretched, pointing at Wardle, and declaiming: "And Clarke said unto Felix. Thou art the Man- behold the Furniture! and Felix Trembled". Wardle, fashionably dressed and wearing Hessian boots, stands with clasped hands and flexed knees. He says: "Good People of the United Kingdom suspend your judgement for the present till I get this woman placed in the pillory-I never did any thing naughty with her no more than the child unborn-it was all for the good of my Country I assure you I am as firm a patriot as ever purchased a convex Mirror, or a red turkey Carpet". The heads and shoulders of the proletarian and much amused spectators are closely grouped on the extreme right, with a background of town houses. Behind Mrs. Clarke is a draped dressing-table on which stands a bottle of 'Ratifie' and glasses. The curtains of the bed form a background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue
