- Abstract
-
"Queensberry (left) leans from the steps of his Piccadilly house, to leer through a double spy-glass (as in British Museum Satires No. 9082) at a buxom young woman who has just descended from a country wagon (right). She stands on the pavement next her father, a yokel in a smock-frock who is addressed by a fat bawd. The woman puts her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Its very lucky I met with you my honest Man if she behaves well she shall be promoted to the service of a Duke". He answers, "Very lucky indeed I'se Woundily Obliged to your Ladyship. My Dame always said as how Bet was cut out for Zarvice of your great Volkes." The wagoner is depositing in the road the corded box of Elisabeth Maybush; he looks up at Old Q, saying, "ah! I knew he'd dart out like an Old Spider at a Fly". A fashionably dressed young woman walks past the railings of 15 Piccadilly, the lower part of the house forming a background."--British Museum online catalogue
