"The Princess of Wales, squat and fat, wearing a short transparent dress, adjusts her hair at a large glass above a console table on which lies her black mask. Bergami stands beside her, holding a scarf and a box of 'Essence Bergamy'; he wears orders (see British Museum Satires No. 13810, &c.). She asks: "Comment me trouves tu Mon cour" [sic]? He answers: "Je t'aime mieux comme" / "cela, mon Ange". Through a window reaching to the floor (right) is seen Vesuvius."--British Museum online catalogue

"A view of the left side of the stage, including part of a stage box on the extreme left. From this leans a figure of Folly wearing a fool's cap with ass's ears, clapping his hands. Within the shadow of the box is the head of a staring owl (cf. British Museum Satires No. 5363). A frieze of dancing dogs (cf. British Museum Satires No. 16715) decorates the lower part of the box; above is a grinning mask flanked by dogs' heads. The capital of the Corinthian pilaster that flanks the stage is formed of dogs' heads. At its foot is a figure of Thalia covering her face with her hands. At the base of her pedestal is an open book: 'The Caravan or the Driver and his Dog a Farce.' This lies on and obscures another: 'The Critic or Tragedy rehearsed'. The front of the stage is filled with a large pool; in this a dog swims, his collar inscribed 'Carlo'; he holds the head of Sheridan above the water by his hair, saying: "------methinks it were an easy Leap" To dive into the bottom of the Deep" And pluck up drowned honour by ye Locks." ['1 Henry IV', I. iii.] Water gushes into the pool from left and right; on the righ from a mound of stone slabs on which is poised a wheeled dog-kennel. By the roof of the kennel are the heads of two enormous and camel-like dogs, muzzled (or bridled), and peering at Carlo; one partly obscures a notice-board on a post in the pool: 'Humane Socie[ty for] recovering drowning persons] It is recommended That Dog Kennels [should be] stationed at all Ho[uses of] public Entertainment for the Benefit of drowning persons.' The scenery is a water-side castle."--British Museum online catalogue
