"The reduction of the Prince of Wales's establishment at Carlton House is represented as the auction scene in 'The School for Scandal' (iv. 1). 'Lot 1', a portrait of the King and Queen, as a farmer and his wife, a copy of BMSat 6934 reversed, is being held up for sale by (?) Sheridan. The Prince, as Charles Surface, stands in the middle of the room, legs apart, his cane raised above his head, right hand in his breeches-pocket, saying, "Careless, Knock down the Farmer". George Hanger as Careless stands in a high-backed arm-chair (right), his hammer raised above his head, saying, "Going for no more than One Crown". Weltje, a stout man, stands beside the rostrum, his arms folded, looking down at a pile of plate at his feet inscribed 'Lot 6'. On the left stand three men: the bidder, pencil and note-book in his hand, saying, "Five shillings for that Lot", and two military officers, one stout, the other slim and foppish, looking through an eye-glass at the picture. 'Lot 2' and 'Lot 3' are pictures still on the wall, Three quarter length portraits of Mrs. Fitzherbert, her hands in a muff, and a lady wearing a large feathered hat, perhaps the Duchess of Devonshire, cf. BMSat 6961, &c. 'Lot 5' is a saddle on the floor beside a pair of top-boots. Through an open door (left) appears the corner of a building inscribed 'Tatersal's' (where the Prince's stud was sold) and a high phaeton which is 'Lot 1800' (see BMSats 6970, 6980)."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Prince of Wales is seated in a magnificent dining-hall before a bare table. The Duke of Leinster (right) offers him across the table a dish of 'Potatoes from Leinster'; the Prince extends his arms to take them, but turns his head to look at the forbidding Thurlow, dressed as a doctor, who stands (left) on his right. Thurlow points authoritatively to the potatoes with the head of his cane, saying, "Take back the Irish Potatoes". The Prince says with a peevish expression: "If I must not have the roast Beef [the English Regency] let me have ye Potatoes Doctor I have paid for them". On the extreme right, behind Leinster, Sheridan, with a melancholy expression, tries to take a dish containing a sirloin from a beefeater, who says, "This belongs to my Master Sir." In the foreground (left) Weltje (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7509), dressed as a cook, stands looking at the Prince, his hands clasped in dismay, saying, "By Got now we sail not heb our Desert". Two colonnades of pillars recede in perspective behind the Prince; on the plinth of one is a relief of Tantalus vainly trying to drink from the vessel at his lips. In the foreground (centre) are two dogs coupled together, one is Burke, in spectacles, looking hungrily at the bare table, the other is Fox, turning his back on the table and straining away from Burke. The Prince's chair is surmounted by his coronet and feathers. On a chain round Leinster's neck hangs a crowned Irish harp attached to the order of St. Patrick with its significant motto, 'Quis separa[bit].'"--British Museum online catalogue

"A squalid domestic interior: the Prince of Wales (right) and Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) sit facing each other on each side of an open fireplace. A calf's head suspended from a string roasts before the fire. She mends a pair of breeches which he has taken off; on the breeches and on his left leg the word 'Honi' is conspicuous. He is out at elbows though fashionably dressed. Next to Mrs. Fitzherbert and on the extreme left is an infant in a wicker cradle, on rockers; the Prince negligently holds a string attached to the cradle. On the wall is a ballad: 'A Begging We will go &c.' The Prince of Wales' feathers also decorate the wall. On the extreme right is a small table, scantily laid for one. Weltje kneels beside it, unpacking a basket of potatoes. He looks round at George Hanger who stands behind the table in profile to the left holding a mug."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Prince's stud, consisting of five asses with human faces, proceeds (left to right) past a signpost (right) pointing 'To Brighthlmstone'. The Prince, the central figure, rides an ass with the head of Mrs. Fitzherbert; he wears very long spurs. He is preceded by three animals, the foremost being George Hanger led by a groom (Captain Morris); on his saddle-cloth are the Prince's feathers, as if to show his privileged position. Next is Fox, his mouth wide open as if braying, next Weltje. Behind (left), apparently doubtful whether to proceed or not, is Lord Derby (or perhaps Lord North). Geese in the foreground (right) hiss at the procession."--British Museum online catalogue
