English: The proscenium of a small theatre is suggested by an archway over which is the accustomed motto, forming the title. On the front of the stage a very fat lady (left) and a thin man (right) in Elizabethan or early Stuart dress advance to meet each other with outstretched hands. Beneath the design is etched:

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) The figures are identified in a contemporary hand as Mrs. Hobart and Mr. Bradshaw. Mrs. Hobart had a villa on Ham Common which she called 'Sans Souci', where she gave fêtes and amateur theatricals. Walpole, 'Letters', xii. 26, 365; xv. 1, 117. Miss Larolles, a character in Fanny Burney's 'Cecilia', is a young and lively lady to be impersonated by the fat Mrs. Hobart. Cf. BMSat 7737. The manner resembles that of drawings by Townshend. |

Licensing
[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. ![]() |
