Abstract:
"A view of the pavement of Pall Mall seen from the cobbled roadway; it recedes slightly from left to right and is backed by part of the screen and façade of Carlton House, with part of the adjacent house on the extreme left on which is a door-plate inscribed Sherry [Sheridan]. On the pavement are three of the new gas-lamps; a tall post with three globes, one at the summit, flanked by two others on slender curving branches. In each globe is a triple flame. A fashionably dressed young man (left), points with his riding-whip, instructing the lady who holds his arm: The Coals being steam'd produces tar or paint for outside of Houses--the Smoke passing thro' water is deprived of substance and burns as you see. A fat Irishman turns to say to the speaker: Arrah honey if this man [Winsor] bring fire thro water we shall soon have the Thames and the Liffey burnt down--and all the pretty little Herrings & Whales burnt to cinders. A fat countryman (right) gazes up, saying, Wauns what a main pretty light it be. we have nothing like it in our Country. A lank Quaker on tiptoe, standing beside him, says: Aye Friend but it is all Vanity, what is this to the inward light. On the extreme right a flamboyant courtesan with her bare arms in a muff says to a buck who inspects her through his glass: If this light is not put a stop too--we must give up our business We may as well shut up shop. The man answers: True my dear not a dark corner to be got for love or money. There are other passers-by on the pavement, typical Rowlandson characters, one a parson of Dr. Syntax type, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11507."--British Museum online catalogue.

The books are inscribed 'Life of Mrs Clarke' and 'Memoirs'; with them are burning papers inscribed 'Love'; 'Darling'; 'Love Letter'. A mass of flame ascends to merge with the rays from the sun, from which the Duke looks down benevolently at Mrs. Clarke; she says, "Thus perish all that gives my Darling pain". She wears feathers and drapery in her hair."--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. . Taylor'; 'Suppression of vice'; 'To all-Journeymen Taylors wanted'."--British Museum online catalogue.
