The bassoon with a French horn accompanyment [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[16 May 1811]eng"A man and woman sleep in a rough wooden bed, heads thrown back so that their nostrils face the spectator. Bare feet projecting from the bed-clothes attract a rat. A cat lies on a chair in the disordered room. An antique musket and broadsword hang horizontally above the bed, on a wall from which much plaster has fallen. A makeshift curtain hangs across a casement window (left). On a chair by the bed (right) is a punch-bowl. On the wall is a placard: 'Hush every Breese let nothing move My Celia sleeps and dreams of Love'."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Probably a reissue; imprint statement has likely been removed from plate.Publisher and date of publication from Grego.Plate numbered "75" in upper right corner.Plate from: Woodward, G.M.
