- Abstract
-
"A parson, just arrived at an inn, a grosser Dr. Syntax (see British Museum Satires No. 11507), makes advances to a comely and willing chambermaid, who holds warming-pan, lighted candle, and saddle-bags, and is conducting him to his room. They are at the foot of the staircase. A young military officer on the stairs tipsily directs a stream towards the parson's hat. On the wall behind the latter: 'Fountain Inn-Entertainment for Man and Horse Gentlemen supplied with Fishing Tackle &c &c'. Behind his back (right) an elderly man in a night-shirt looks angrily from a room, holding a lighted candle. In the foreground (right) is a clutter of chamber-pots, bucket, mop, boot-jack, &c."--British Museum online catalogue.
