"Satire on Italian opera singers and their female admirers, a copy in reverse of British Museum satire no. 1694. Senesino, tall and ungainly, stands a quayside, recoiling from the effusive farewells of two ladies, one holding a handkerchief to her eyes; a number of gentlemen raise their hats and one bows low; two other men stand behind, one with a walking stick and a cloak over his arm. To the right, two servants, one a black man, carry a board, labelled "Ready Mony", piled high with bulging purses; Two jeering men to the right of the original print do not appear. Printed above a song mocking ladies crying at the departure of Senesino with music 'Set for ye German flute &c.'; illustration to 'The Musical Entertainer'."--British Museum online catalogue
