- Abstract:
- "Satire on Bute's alleged sale of public positions paralleled with Earl Talbot's introduction of economies into the royal household. An auction is taking place in a large kitchen where, in the centre, Talbot, Lord Steward of the Household, instructs the auctioneer's clerk at a table beneath the podium. On the left, three cooks, one a Frenchman planning to leave for Calais to work for "Monsr. Grandsire", are mocked by a Scot for not being able to make haggis; another cook brandishing a gridiron and two ladles stands in front of the fireplace in which stands only a cracked pot filled with thistles. On the right, a poor man plans to bid for "old rags or broken glass", and a stout middle-class woman plans to purchase a ladle to beat her husband, while Princess Augusta and Lord Bute converse intimately; the Princess points suggestively to a large pot resting with other utensils on the floor. In the background, a chaplain laments the lack both "of victuals and of grace"."--British Museum online catalogue
