- Abstract
-
"A stout ugly woman stoops admiringly towards a child who stands uncertainly, with raised arms, on splayed-out and rickety legs. He wears a little frock and a feathered hat of quasi-military shape. She wears a mob-cap and a flowered gown looped over a quilted petticoat. She says: "Sweet little Baby! how it toddles along--Of Bless those pretty legs of thine I am sure thee wilt become Lord Mayor, and may-hap a Member of Parliament"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
