- Abstract:
- "The Duke of York with a beard and dressed as a magician, in a fur cap and long gown (on which is a Garter star), stands in profile to the right holding out a wand inscribed 'Petticoat Influence'. Beneath the wand stands a young man dressed as an officer, wearing cocked hat, gorget, and sash. Smoke or cloud rises from his feet and ascends in two columns above his head. The Duke says: "By the Mystery of my Art, no more be a Foot-boy-but rise a Captain". The young man, much surprised, says: "Bless me how soon a foot-boy is turned to a Gentleman"."--British Museum online catalogue
