Longitude & latitude of St. Petersburgh [graphic]

"The Duke of Clarence dances with a tall thin girl (right), holding both her hands; they face each other in profile. He is unrecognizable, a plainly dressed short and obese John Bull. She wears a cross suspended from a long necklace. The room, with boarded floor and small musicians' gallery, suggests an English provincial assembly-room rather than a Russian palace. Two couples stand against the wall (left), a lady and her partner sit on a bergère (right); a man stands near them. Two of the men have moustaches, as an indication that they are foreigners. All are much amused at the ill-matched partners."--British Museum online catalogue
