- Abstract
-
"The Duchess of St. Albans, fat, flamboyant, moustached, and smiling, stands on a carpeted floor, a glove in one hand, three large feathers in her hair. Curious draperies decorate a deep border to her skirt, and are seemingly intended for money-bags. On the wall is a small framed picture of a melon (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15458). Above: 'Sure thou wert form'd by all the Gods in Council; Who having made a lucky hit, | beyond their journey-work, Cry'd out,--"This is a Woman!"'."--British Museum online catalogue
