Description |
English: published 28 March 1809 by Hannah Humphrey, 27 St. James's Street, 1809, London.
It represents a fat lady who is seated in a shell drawn by two swans. She holds reins attached to the birds' necks and a carriage-whip is in her right hand. A brace of Cupids, also perched on swans, are riding behind her as pages. "This is said to represent Mrs. Jones, of Swansea, a celebrated whip, frequently seen in Hyde Park, driving a curricle. It is a very correct representation both of her person and costume. One of her attendants is said to have been a particular favourite." (Thomas Wright and Robert Harding Evans, Historical and descriptive account of the caricatures of James Gillray, H. G. Bohn, 1851, p. 479.) |
