- Abstract
-
"Two handsome young courtesans coax an enormously obese and carbuncled 'cit' towards the door of a bagnio (right). One (right) takes him by the wrist, throwing back a cloak to reveal her charms; he leers hideously at her. The other takes him by the shoulders and chin. Above the door are the words 'Warm Bath'. A placard beside it: 'Restorative Drops -Old Age Debility of ever so long standing quickly restored to Youth and Vigour - Prepar'd & Sold by the . . .' They are under an archway inscribed 'Bagnio Court' in an arcade, suggesting Covent Garden."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
