Title
The frolick or a new-market, race
Description
English: The Duc d'Orleans (left) chases the Prince of Wales with a whip. Both wear riding-dress with top-boots. Behind them is a pond from which emerge the legs of a man who is submerged from the waist. They are on a path leading to a pavilion (right), the door of which is inscribed 'The Coffee Room'. Men stand at the door watching the scene, others look from a balcony. Behind Orleans, on the extreme left, are the profile and arms of a Frenchman, who says, "ah ha de French Man make de English run". Beneath the title is etched: 'L'abbé frere du Duc d'Orleans etant a Newmarket dans un jardin près dun bassin fit la Gageure avec S.A.R.P.G. [Prince de Galles] de chatouiller un poisson avec le doigt jusqu'à cequ'il Selaissât prendre; la gageure ayaunt ete acceptée & l'Abbé S etant mis Sur Ses genoux it [sic] commencant a agacer le poisson, lors que S.A.R. lepoussa dans la bassin. Le Duc d'Orleans qui etait present poursuit it avec Son fouet S.A.R. qui Serifugia dans un Caffe, ou le Ducs de Queensbury & Grafton & Bedford les reccomoderent, tandis que le pauvre Abbé fut conduit ches lui pour changer d'habits.' 1 July 1788

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938)

The account of this incident in the 'Morning Chronicle' adds that the Prince escaped chastisement by getting into the coffee-room, and that the three dukes apologized, 'declaring his R.H. meant no harm and was rather in liquor'. See BMSat 7359 (7). Orleans had two illegitimate brothers: the Abbé de Saint-Far and the Abbé de Saint-Albin..

[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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
