Description |
English: The Prince of Wales has fallen to the ground, a man stands over him, holding his head and threatening him with a drawn sword. Both carry shields on the left arm. Fox (left), with a fox's head, runs off, holding Mrs. Robinson (Perdita) seated across his shoulders. The Prince, worsted in a fight, says, "Stop Colonel, Charley has decided it". The Colonel, perhaps Tarleton, looks up at a window (right), where a man in a nightcap and wearing stag's horns leans out, saying, "Gentn don't disturb my Rest, you have got my Wife there, my Horns are well tipt & I'm contented". The Colonel answers, "Go to Bed you old Ram". A door beneath the window is inscribed 'Mr Robin[son]'. Fox says:

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) Perhaps a reissue of a print published c. 1782, when the rivalry of Fox, the Prince of Wales, and Colonel Tarleton for Perdita was a common topic m the newspapers, see BMSat 6117, &c. The liaison between the Prince and Mrs. Robinson ended before 1782, but cf. BMSat 6928, &c. For 'the Man and Woman of the People' see BMSat 6117. (Supplementary information) Dorothy George's attribution to Barrow is certainly right; the handwriting of the lettering is his. |

editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
