J.s G.y d. et f. [James Gillray]
Pub.d May 25th. 1796, by H. Humphrey New Bond Street.
Coloured etching. 255 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"). Small margins. Stitch holes in left edge, a few spots.
A fat and pompous Prince of Wales leaves his bedroom and walks towards that of Frances Villiers, Countess of Jersey. Her husband, George Bussy Villiers, 4th Earl of Jersey, dressed in his nightclothes, lights the way with a candle and raises his night-cap deferentially, although George brushes him off. A torn map of the back of a door is titled 'A Map of the Road into the Harbour of Jersey'. Lady Jersey, a 40-year-old mother of ten and grandmother, replaced Maria Fitzherbert as George's principal mistress in 1794.
