"Wardle, in back view in civilian dress, walks off with Mrs. Clarke seated on his right shoulder; a paper, 'C. Wardle', projects from his pocket. She looks back to point derisively down at the Duke of York who is falling into a watery swamp. She says: "There goes his ------ Honor!!" He shakes his fist at the couple. Beside him are his cocked hat and a broken sword inscribed 'from Holland'. Wardle walks uphill towards the temple of 'Truth'; a (naked) figure holds out draperies. In the swamp is a board: 'A Caution'."--British Museum online catalogue
