"The head and shoulders of Lady Archer at different stages of her toilet. In the first (right), wearing a night-cap, with unsightly pendent breasts, she looks up to the left, tears falling from an empty eye-socket, her gaping mouth showing toothless jaws. In the next she fits in an eye, in the third she places a wig on her head, in the fourth (below on the right) she fits in a set of false teeth; in the next she applies rouge to her cheeks with a hare's foot, holding a mirror. In the last (left) she appears a pretty young woman, holding a mask in her hand. In the last two stages her arms, which were skinny and muscular, have become smooth and rounded and her breasts have been covered with the gauze drapery then fashionable."--British Museum online catalogue

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.

"An ugly elderly man, emaciated but paunchy, stands in profile to the left, head thrown back, in the effort to swallow. His right fingers are crisped as he throws over his left shoulder the contents of a tumbler. He wears night-cap, dressing-gown, and slippers, with unbuttoned garments and stockings festooning his legs. He faces a smouldering fire. The small chimney-piece is covered with medicine-bottles; above it hangs a cracked mirror. A torn hearth-rug, minute tripod washstand with broken jug, and a truckle-bed in disorder heighten the picture of sordid discomfort, but the impression is conveyed that this is due to feckless neglect rather than poverty. Under the bed a mouse scampers off. Beside it is a candle covered with extinguisher."--British Museum online catalogue
