"The Regent, with one gouty foot, postures before a pier-glass which reflects his tight waist and spherical posteriors. His wig and whiskers are much exaggerated. All round him nine grotesque German tailors are at work or register admiration of the Prince; most of them are lean and moustached. Some sit cross-legged on the floor; one cuts from a roll of cloth assisted by a man with a yard-stick who says: "D--n de English Taylor, he not know how to handle de yard like de foreigner!" One irons a braided hussar jacket. On the floor: 'A List of Foreign Tailors recommended by Prince Esther Crazy to work for the R--t!' Nearer the Regent is 'A Goose!' with the adjacent inscription: '"To waste your time before a Glass / Exposes oft a monstrous Ass!' The Regent recites: "I begin to think that I'm a marvellous proper Man! "I'll have my Chambers hung with looking Glass And entertain a score or two of Tailors To study fashions to adorn my Body--""--British Museum online catalogue
