A scene in a bedroom beside a canopy bed: A older gentleman with a caricatured face embraces a young servant woman who holds a warming pan in one hand and candlestick in the other. The man's wig is smoldering from the flame of the candle. The man's young valet slinks out of the room with the man's boots and a book jack under his arms, a look of alarm on his face. Beside the door is the man's duffle bag; his coat lies on the chair beside the bed

"The Prince and Mrs. Fitzherbert in the bedroom of a French inn ; a maidservant enters (left) with a tea-tray. The Prince, yawning and stretching with a dissipated air, is seated on the edge of a table; the revelry of the past night is indicated by an overturned decanter, broken wineglass, and a broken candle. Another candlestick and broken wine-glass lie on the ground, together with the Prince's top-boots. He wears slippers and his stockings are ungartered, the 'honi soit qui mal y' [pense] ribbon hanging round his leg. Mrs. Fitzherbert, seated on the bed, draws on a stocking; her garter inscribed 'Fox' lies on the ground (cf. British Museum satire 7306). The bed is heavily draped with fringed curtains. The Prince's feathered hat hangs on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) in bed, supported on her right elbow, looks fixedly towards a warming-pan held by a stout woman who approaches the foot of the bed. In the perforations of the pan are stuck three ostrich feathers; a monk, holding up a crucifix, gazes down at it. Mrs. Fitzherbert wears a large frilled cap and a nightdress with ruffles. The fringed bed-curtains are looped up. On the extreme right is part of a draped table on which are a cup, bowl, and a large urn (probably materials for caudle). On the wall are three pictures: one, the 'Royal Hunt', a man galloping beside hounds; this has the motto 'Ich Ich' (in place of 'Ich dien') with three ostrich feathers. It is flanked by two profile heads facing each other: one is 'Wig', the other 'Torey', but they do not appear to be portraits. The carpet is patterned with Prince of Wales's feathers."--British Museum online catalogue

"Illustration to verses printed below in four columns. Six grinning 'cits' stand round one of their number who is in night-cap and waistcoat. Behind is a curtained bed. The verses relate a trick at a Sunday 'dining country jaunt' for which lavish provisions were sent to the Roe Buck in 'the Forest'. The Club went on horseback, butter was hidden in the lining of one member's hat; he was induced to believe that he had 'sweating sickness', and was put to bed instead of sharing the feast."--British Museum online catalogue
