Title
The monster cutting a lady. Copper bottoms to prevent being cut
Description
English: A design in two compartments. [1] A well-dressed man, in profile to the right, grasps a woman's right arm, while he cuts, and has cut, her dress in several places, the slits being stained with blood. She holds a large muff. Behind is a street door (in Pall Mall) inscribed 'Angersteein'; on the side of the house and in the extreme upper left corner of the design is a bill: 'Monster A Reward \ 100 ...' Beneath the title is etched: 'This likeness of him was Drawn by a Lady who he had wounded and Approved by two others'.


[2] The interior of a brazier's shop. A lady (right) stands before the kneeling brazier who is hammering together the back seam of a short copper petticoat. The woman wears a hat and a chemise and holds an oval mirror which reflects her uncovered breasts; she looks over her right shoulder. On the wall is a placard: 'Ladies Bottoms Covered on the most Reasonable Terms also Kept in repair by the Year by Anti: Monster'. Behind the brazier (left) is the shop-window in which are displayed (above) three bell-shaped copper petticoats inscribed respectively: 'for young Ladies of 15', 'Ladies of 30', and 'Very fat Ladies'. Below are taps and a kettle. 1 May 1790.

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) J. J. Angerstein offered a reward for the apprehension of 'the Monster'. A bill dated 29 Apr. 1790 to this effect, and describing the man, is in the Banks Collection, B.M.L. 1890. e. 15 (103).
