In an elegantly furnished sitting room, a man sits at a table in a dressing gown and night cap, his tongue hanging out of his mouth and his gouty leg resting on a foot stool as his pulse is taken by a physician (right). The physician looks at a pocket watch with a long chain; he also holds a walking stick in his right hand. The ill man is in the midst of putting together an elaborate dinner party. In addition to an inkstand with quill pens, on the table is a book, "Glasse's art of cookery" open to a recipe on how "to dress a turtle". On the table is an envelope addressed "To Ald. Guttle, London" and one to "Sr. A. Pepperpor" and a letter inviting the Alderman to dine. Another document contains the "bill of fare" which lists turtle soup, venison, chickens, hams, pheasents, etc. At his feet a dog scratches as a cat approaches. On the left a pretty, much young woman leans agains a chair as she watches the scene. The room is decorated with a map of the West Indies over the elegant mantelpiece on which sit a statute of a goat and two candlesticks whose bases are obese figures sitting cross-legged. Two other portraits on either side of the fireplace: on the left a cupid-like figure holding two strings to which are attached two doves; on the right, a portrait of a corpulent man in a wig

Abstract:
"Seven men (three-quarter length) are grouped round a card-table in a Smithfield tavern. One (right), young and innocent, inspects his cards; beside him an older countryman lies back asleep (right), his dog resting his head on his knee. The other gambler (left), holding his cards, looks at his victim. Three onlookers have crafty expressions. A fat man, smoking, approaches with a bowl of punch. In the bar (left) a fat woman chalks up a score. Coins, a watch, and pocket-book are on the table. A broken mirror and a picture of a horse decorate the walls. Beneath the table are twelve lines describing the sleep of 'Old Trusty' while his son is cheated by 'the Harpy-Tribe'."--Biriths Museum online catalogue

Description:
Title from item., Curator's note from British Museum catalogue: The card-playing sharper is a portrait of Rowlandson, the country lad is reputed to be J. K. Sherwin; though this seems unlikely, since Sherwin was then thirty-six, the identification is supported by the self-portrait of the engraver. In 'The Gamesters', a mezzotint by Ward, after Peters, 1786, the card-sharper holding an ace behind his back is Rowlandson [Said to be the Prince of Wales, according to Challoner Smith (iv. 1485).]; the resemblance to the card-player in this plate, and in a mezzotint, 'A Game at Cribbage' ... is convincing., Sheet trimmed within plate mark., Twelve lines of verse in two columns on either side of title: Old Trusty with his town made friends ..., Temporary local subject terms: Gambling: sharpers -- Furniture: card-table -- Furniture: bar -- Countrymen -- Card players -- Barmaids -- Pocketbooks., and Mounted to 38 x 49 cm.
