Artist: Isaac Cruikshank. Published: S. W. Fores. The duke (poorly characterized) sits in an arm-chair pressing a knot of ribbon to his lips. He wears a night-cap shaped like a fool's cap, no coat, and slippers, with long tight pantaloons, shirt, and waistcoat. He faces a small oblong table on which is a flowering plant, which he waters from a watering-can held between his knees. Other objects on the table are books: 'Jack the Giant Killer' [a chap-book]; 'Lover Letter Tom Thumb'; 'D of Cumberland'; a print of three standing prostitutes: 'Two Penny Uprights (See Partridge, 'Slang Dict., s.v. threepenny bit.) [a similar print by Cawse has this title]; packages inscribed: 'Alcampane', lollypops', 'Sugar Candy', 'Carraway Comfits', 'Barley Sugar', 'Parmasan'. On the floor are papers: 'My Beauty without Paint'; 'My Angel'; 'My Deer Deer Dear Lovee Love Dear'; 'My Love . . . Adorable'; 'Not sufficiently Expressive of my Noble love & Devine Affection'. Beside the duke stands an open chest of 'Keepsakes', piled up with hats, bonnets, shoes, a comb, powder-puff, and a cracked chamber-pot 'often used by M. Anne'. Words issue from his mouth in a large label covering much of the design: 'Not meet at St Giles's? D-n-n worse than a Dog you use me - not to be allowed to attend as Midwife, Nurse or Chamber maid, D-n-n must I belong to nobody - but I must not complain - I am allways blubbering I talk in my sleep, in short I act the part of a Fool - O the dear Plant, the dear the ever dear Pink cotton - my Charmer, my dearest dear, my adored my Celestial, I have invoked Cupid, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Venus, & all the Deites to Santion our heaven born love, you know I have plunged 7 times in the Hog trough over head & ears, & yet after all such sousing I cannot conquer this heaven born Passion . . . as wheat falls so my Divine affection rises . . . [&c. &c.]. Pray dont read the life of Major Hanger till I come & read it to you - O what a Dog I am.' Description from the British Museum.
