The presentation, or, The wise men's offering [graphic]Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[9 January 1796]eng"A stout and florid woman holds up on her two large hands the baby princess, face downwards. The infant holds out her arms towards the Prince of Wales, who advances tipsily through a doorway (right), and touches her hand. He is dishevelled, with unlatched shoes and ungartered stockings; his garter, inscribed 'honi soit', dangles round his right leg. He is followed by M. A. Taylor, on the extreme right, who carries on his head a wicker cradle ornamented with the Prince's feathers. Behind the infant are Fox and Sheridan, stooping obsequiously to kiss her posteriors; Fox clutches her long robe which reaches to the floor. In the background rows of guests are freely sketched, drinking (?) caudle from two-handled cups. The two on the extreme left and in the front row resemble Sandwich and Erskine (to whom a man (not dressed as a servant) hands a tray of steaming cups)."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Temporary local subject terms: Furniture: cradles -- Lighting: chandelier.1 print : etching on wove paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 24.7 x 34.8 cm, on sheet 28.5 x 39.5 cm.Mounted on leaf 1 of volume 4 of 12.
