-
"A woman in an advanced stage of pregnancy stands with folded hands, laughing, close to an elderly parson (right) of Dr. Syntax type who recoils in angry horror. Behind them is a high garden wall, with a notice: 'Man Traps laid in these Grounds'. Behind the woman (left) is a hole in the wall, through which looks the grinning head of a black servant. 'Broad Grins' is a collection of coarse comic songs by Colman, 1802, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11941."--British Museum online catalogue
