- Abstract:
- "The Duc d'Orleans (left) chases the Prince of Wales with a whip. Both wear riding-dress with top-boots. Behind them is a pond from which emerge the legs of a man who is submerged from the waist. They are on a path leading to a pavilion (right), the door of which is inscribed 'The Coffee Room'. Men stand at the door watching the scene, others look from a balcony. Behind Orleans, on the extreme left, are the profile and arms of a Frenchman, who says, "ah ha de French Man make de English run". Beneath the title is etched: 'L'abbé frere du Duc d'Orleans etant a Newmarket dans un jardin près dun bassin fit la Gageure avec S.A.R.P.G. [Prince de Galles] de chatouiller un poisson avec le doigt jusqu'à cequ'il Selaissât prendre; la gageure ayaunt ete acceptée & l'Abbé S etant mis Sur Ses genoux it [sic] commencant a agacer le poisson, lors que S.A.R. lepoussa dans la bassin. Le Duc d'Orleans qui etait present poursuit it avec Son fouet S.A.R. qui Serifugia dans un Caffe, ou le Ducs de Queensbury & Grafton & Bedford les reccomoderent, tandis que le pauvre Abbé fut conduit ches lui pour changer d'habits.'"--British Museum online catalogue
