- Abstract
-
"A group of courtesans and brothel-keepers. One of the courtesans (left) introduces the Prince of Wales, who stands beside her, to another standing in profile to the left. She says, "He is as Generous as a Prince And a Prince should not be Limmited". He says, "He supported my cause", an allusion to the political crisis which arose on the question of the Prince's establishment, see British Museum Satires No. 6257. Two stout bawds stand in conversation in the centre of the design, smiling at each other; they wear cloaks and hoods and carry muffs; one, identified by Mr. Hawkins as Mrs Windsor, says, "He introduced his R- H to my house". Behind and on the extreme right, a third courtesan, older than the others, and of debauched appearance, waving a fox's brush."--British Museum online catalogue
