Description |
English: The Prince of Wales in a drunken frolic enters the King's bedroom, followed by Hanger and Sheridan. The King (right) lies under a tent-shaped canopy with curtains; he turns his head from his son, looking down with an expression of misery; his right arm is outstretched as if to ward off the intruders. By his bedside, between the Prince and the King, sits an elderly bishop, exclaiming in horror; in his hand is a paper inscribed 'A Prayer Restoration of Health Amen'. The Prince has overturned a circular table, a Communion cup lies on the ground. He reels drunkenly with folded arms, saying, '"Damme, come along, I'll see if the Old Fellow's------or not" --'. Hanger and Sheridan are dancing with glee. Hanger, wearing his hat, holds a bottle in both hands; Sheridan waves his hat. On the wall is a picture of 'The Prodigal Son', partly obscured by the label issuing from the Prince's mouth. 25 November 1788

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) One of many satires on the Regency crisis, see BMSat 7377, &c, in which, however, the Prince is usually treated with respect, cf. the implication of BMSat 7380.

[edit]This 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. ![]() |
