A lying-in visit, or, A short sighted mistake [graphic].[1 April 1792]eng"A lady (left) darts forward in profile to the right, bending low, both arms extended towards a coal-scuttle which a footman in livery is bringing in. He looks at her with irritated dismay. She says: "O You pretty creature! - bless the dear baby, how it smiles give it to me Nurse - it has exactly its papa's nose & mamma's eyes. O it is a delightful little Creature." She wears a plain striped gown with a sash, a high-crowned hat of checked material; ringlets fall on her shoulders."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Temporary local subject terms: Furnishings: coal scuttles -- Domestic service: footmen.1 print on laid paper : etching, hand-colored ; sheet (trimmed within plate mark) 26 x 35 cm.Watermark: Strassbourg lily on crowned armorial shield.
