Summary edit
| Description | Satirical print. Museum's description: "The Persian Ambassador's beautiful wife (supposed slave) reclines on a sofa, one foot regally on a footstool. She extends her hand towards three ladies who advance from the open door (left) offering gifts and making coarse remarks. On each side of her stands a ferocious black eunuch, one with a drawn scimitar, the other grasping a dagger. At her feet are gifts already received: a doll, a book 'Fanny Hill', a (dandy's) umbrella (cf. No. 13060), a pair of short black boots, and a pot of 'Wawren [sic] Japan Blacking', with a box of 'Pills'. On the wall is a picture, 'A British Seraglio'; the Regent supported on crutches faces a bevy of ladies. In an ante-room (left) a man, followed by women, tries to enter but is opposed by a eunuch with a scimitar. A woman says: "You may let it in it is only a Dandy Mr Youknocks." In the upper right corner of the design is a notice: '"It is necessary to state that this fair curiosity receives some trifling present from every one admitted to her presence," (Morning Post)—N.B. all kings [sic] of Jewels with Stones are prohibeted." | ||
