"The Duke of Clarence, knock-kneed and meanly malignant, stands in profile to the left, his back to the sea. He wears top-hat, tail-coat, tight pantaloons, Hessian boots, and gloves, holding a cane; under his foot is a paper: 'Honor [thy] Father & thy Mother.' At sea is a man-of-war with furled sails flying the Royal Standard. Below the title; 'Vide Mr Denmans Speech. Octr 25 1820.' Said to be a good likeness. See British Museum Satires No. 14031, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
