Abstract: "Lady Conyngham sits on a chair under which crouches the King; his head, larger than life, draped by her skirts, and hands project (left). She holds a fan, on which is depicted the 'Regent's Bomb', see British Museum Satires No. 12799, with (?) the King seated astride it. In her left hand is a tulip. She wears evening dress, jewels, and feathers. On the back of her chair is a (baron's) coronet. She says: "You're Old Quarters how do you like now, My Angel." He says: "O! what a mess I am in, this part of the Country is hotter, than in Hertford!""--British Museum online catalogue

Provenance: Sold by London's Dulau and Company to the New York City bookseller Ernest R. Gee in 1928. Earlier ownership by W.E. Gladstone is suggested by a manuscript note from Dulau formerly laid into the front the first volume (now in the object file), which states that "These came from the Gladstone Library at Court Hey, Broad Green. The manuscript notes written below the caricatures are in the handwriting of W.E. Gladstone." William Reese Company; February 2024.
