- Abstract
-
"George IV, dressed as a sportsman, in a broad-brimmed hat, jacket with many pockets, and gaiters above the knee, walks in Windsor Park beside a deer with a woman's head and wearing a collar inscribed 'Chester'. He puts his arm round her neck, and says, staring at her amorously, '"I'll build you my Dear [altered to] deer a neat Cottage close by, | Where We can retreat unobserved, on the sly, | So be not afraid of the old Cunning Doe, | Whose stale selfish Tricks are become quite So-so.' They are under a tree; bushes screen them from the Cottage (left), just below Windsor Castle on its steep hill."--British Museum online catalogue
