"A dandy (left), opera-hat in hand, bends towards a lady to inspect her necklace through his glass. He has the short waist, high collar, and conspicuous watch-ribbon of the dandies, with long tight pantaloons to the ankle (cf. No. 13029). She wears a short white ball-dress, and holds up a closed fan, a shawl over her left arm. She stands at the foot of a staircase on which are flowering plants in ornamental pots. Below the title: '"Pon honor Lady Caroline, You appear a "divinity! -by Jove those Jewels are of the premiere "qualité, did Love furnish them? "On my truth Sir William You are a gay Man.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Printmaker and date from British Museum catalogue.
"One of prints (coloured) by, after, or attributed to G. Cruikshank [many were closely copied and unless original and copy can be compared they are difficult to distinguish; some attributed by Reid or Cohn to Cruikshank are in the manner of the supposed copyist; some are probably by I. R. Cruikshank], from a set issued c. 1817 to c. 1819 ... She resembles Lady Caroline Lamb, the most conspicuous Lady Caroline of the day. There was a jeweller named Love."--British Museum curator's comment.
