To the left, another older woman, probably the maid, with a look of alarm, rushes towards the falling woman

"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

In front of Humphrey's print shop window, a man sits on the pavement, having fallen backwards; his legs are splayed up, his wig is falling off, and coins spill from his pockets. The man's predicament is unobserved by four men studying the Gillray prints displayed in the shop window, each identifiable: a gentleman with a quizzing glass held to his eye; a military officer; a coachman; and a young dustman carrying a pair of skates under his arm, his nose eaten away by syphilis. From the cobblestone street a dog looks at the man. Through the shop door, two men, one an obese cleric, are shown examining a print
