Abstract:
"Lord Eldon sits at a high desk above a table, with mace, &c., at which two barristers are writing. He raises his arms in astonishment at the sight of a still (left) inscribed 'The Q--n's Double Destlled [sic] Essence of Bergamot' [with 'ot' scored through and replaced by 'i']; from this the Queen's head emerges, facing the head of Bergami, which issues from an arm of the still. This is surrounded by smoke and stands on a bench, behind which on a low platform stand Louise Demont and Majocchi, pointing at the object, the latter saying: "Non me Ricordo." A barrister, probably Copley, stands near them, saying: "It's a strong proof but froieng [sic] brew'd and out of our power to discover the Makers." Eldon, dropping his pen, says: "This is cuesed [sic] strong it is certainly doubled proof of their Private works." A profile (? Liverpool) leans forward from the left margin, saying: "My L--ds he can swear to the Smell and Taste." Peers, some astonished, some amused, are seated on benches between Chancellor and witnesses. Only the Duke of York can be identified; he says: "I'll have one made for my Travelling Carriage." A bishop: "We must get Bergami to calk it up."."--British Museum online catalogue
