Abstract:
"A tall fashionably dressed portrait painter, holding his crescent-shaped hat under his arm, stands between his subject (right) and the whole length painting of her which leans against the wall (left). The lady is fantastically fat, with huge lips. She wears a short-waisted décollétee dress (though her waist is undiscernible), and holds in both hands a small parasol. On the canvas she is transformed into Juno pouring out a libation for Jove, an eagle clutching thunderbolts; she wears quasi-classical dress, with breast and arms bare; one sandalled foot rests on a cloud. Her bulk is scarcely modified; the likeness remains, though the contour of face and lips is improved. Two half length portraits also lean against the wall. The Irish painter declaims: "A famous hand Madam!!! Your Eyes indeed are featured there, but where's the sparkling moisture, shineing fluid in which they swim? the Picture indeed has your dimples, but wheres the swarm of hilling Cupids that should ambush there? the lips to are figured out, but where's [the] dew, the pouting ripeness that tempts the taste in the original; your breasts too!! What paint Heaven!!! presumtuos Man!" She says, with eyes coyly dropped: "Oh Mr Flanegan You flatter me!!"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Tail piece to volume 3 of Tegg's Caricature Magazine, the title 'Tail Piece to Volume Three' inscribed on a theatrical drop curtain, pinioned at centre by a wig, above the scene. Street scene showing Tegg's printshop, the 'Apollo Library' at 111 Cheapside, at left, signs above its windows reading 'Libraries purchased or exchanged.', 'The largest assortment of caricatures in the world.'; a crowd looking at the printshop windows, which show various prints and advertisements: 'Spirit of fresh wit / Spirit of English wit / Marmion travestee / The whale / An auction at eight precisely / Caricature Magazine Vol 4'. In the doorway, Tegg is just visible firing a large gun to right, bringing a winged man with a fool's cap tumbling out of the sky; below four demons, the 'genii of caricature', hold out a long net filled with papers, one saying, 'Thats right Master Tegg - fire away - you will always find plenty of game - we have got a precious hawl here for the supply of the shop'; the papers are inscribed with the subjects of satirical prints: 'Portraits / Bon mots / G[...] / The day / Mrs clarke / Oddities / The times / Mirth and jollity / Whim / Manners / Investigation / Jokes / Fashion / Crim con'. Many figures strolling on the other side of the street at right, Bow Church at the corner opposite."--British Museum online catalogue
