"Two watchmen holding up lanterns on poles stand one on each side of the door of Mrs. Clarke's house in 'Gloucester Place' [see British Museum Satires No. 11222]. Between them stands a man holding a pole, supporting a board: 'Beware of Bad Houses And Naughty Women'. This obstructs access to the house, where a couple are seen through a window embracing each other (right). On the left an officer and a parson who have been approaching, retreat in dismay.

"Mrs. Clarke stands in a massive archway, inscribed 'CLARKES PASSAGE', addressing a crowd hurrying towards her. She wears a military coat over a white dress, cocked hat, and sword, and stands above the street level. She says: "Gentlemen it is no use to rush on in this manner -the principal places have been disposed of these three weeks and I assure you there is not even standing room". The crowd consists of military officers, elderly and often disabled, two fat parsons, a few civilians, some foppish, some the reverse, one of whom holds up a money-bag inscribed '500'. They completely fill the wide space before Mrs. Clarke, whose 'Passage' is indicated as her house by the opposite house on the extreme left. This is in 'Croakers Row', and from an attic window a little figure (Croker) peers through a telescope, as in British Museum Satires No. 11238."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Clarke's house is on the right. A military officer (Wardle) wrapped in a cloak slips a purse into the hand of a meretricious young woman at the door, with a belt inscribed Favorit. Mrs. Clarke, her breast much exposed, leans from a window to look down at him. Two other men look from other windows. Above the door is a lantern inscribed: Now Exhibiting Wonders upon Wonders or Mrs Clarkes Puppet Show Which has given satisn to Po[ ? pulace] and Prince. Below this is a board: All the World's a Stage and Men and Women merely Players-- some play the upper some the under part, but chief Play that--most foreign to their heart. On the door: Knock and you shall Enter. On the wall (by Mrs. Clarke) is a sign for "Globe Fire Insurance". On the right the Duke of York walks away from the house; he wears a mitre and carries a crosier; a bishop's robe, on which are the words "Men have their Entrances & their Exits". Next to him walks an elderly lawyer (Adam) and a fat parson (O'Meara) hurries after him. Facing Mrs. Clarke's house is a row of houses: Prospect Row; old women, Maiden Ladies, watch from upper windows, as does an old man with a telescope who puts a grotesque head out of an attic window inscribed Peeping Toms Observatory. He says: O the Devil choak her he's Waddling in as Im a prying Croaker. Two cats fight on the roof; words issue from one of them: "Come what come may the Cat will mew. The Dog will have his day"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Duke of York, in a pilgrim's gown, wearing a mitre and with a crosier for his staff, approaches the corner of a house where two women, Mrs. Clarke and Miss Taylor, look eagerly from an open window. Behind him his path, 'Road to destruction', leads down from a country house in trees, Oatlands. Beside the path is a stone: 'Stumbling Block'. Near the house the Duchess of York kneels imploringly, raising her arms towards the distant Duke. Behind her is one of her many pet dogs (see British Museum Satires No. 11023). The Duke tramples on two open books: 'Thoughts on Connubial Happiness' and 'Thou shalt not commit Adultery'. He says: "Now for a meeting with my Dearest Dear". On the house many bills are posted: 'Man Traps are placed every Night in these grounds'; 'Diamonds by Mrs Clarke Lapidary to his Highness'; 'This evening will be performed Duke and No Duke [by Tate, 1685] By his Majesties Servts . . .'; 'Agency Office business transacted on moderate Terms'; 'Leakes Pills by appoint. .

"Above, Mrs. Clarke stands on a round dais, under a canopy, receiving her clients. These are headed by six military officers; the foremost makes a sweeping bow, cocked hat in hand. Next is a fat parson holding a money-bag inscribed 800; behind is an obese doctor, with three other elderly men. She says to them: Ye Captains and ye Colonels-ye parsons wanting place, Advice I'll give ye gratis and think upon your case, If there is possibility, for you I'll raise the dust, But then you must excuse me-if I serve myself the first. Below, Mrs. Clarke, much décolletée, looks from an open ground-floor window of a London house, to see a fashionably dressed man, Taylor, walking towards her holding a sealed packet. He looks over his shoulder at a yokel with a cudgel, who asks: I say Measter Shoe-maker where be you going in such a woundy hurry? Taylor answers: Dont speak to me fellow you should never pry into State affairs. Mrs. Clarke says: Open the door John here comes the Ambassador Now for the dear delightful Answer. Behind the yokel, evidently John Bull, is his dog. On the right is a house with a door-plate inscribed Mrs Weston."--British Museum online catalogue
