So! So! The Race was for a Husband.
[Henry Kingsbury]
Pub May 1 1788 by S W Fores Saterist N° 3 Piccadilly.
Hand coloured etching, sheet 265 x 430mm (10¼ x 17"), on I Taylor laid water marked paper. Trimmed to plate on left sides, thread margins on others.
A very fat Other Windsor (1751-1799), 5th Earl of Plymouth, and Sarah Archer (1762–1838) (Windsor, Countess of Plymouth, then later Countess Amherst) walk together arm in arm towards a country Church where the vicar and his clerk wait in the porch. Plymouth comments on this and Sarah Archer replies getting married will "repair" her virginity and on her mother's surly temper. Her discontented mother Lady Sarah Archer (nee West) walks away from them remarking that marriage hampers a hedonist lifestyle and that is not for herself. Sister's Maria, Harriet and Anne are behind the couple, two hold hands walking together where another turns her back on her mother running away. Lady Sarah Archer (nee West) was a gambler known as one of "Faro Ladies" whose virtues were scrutinized because of belief of domestic duty and sexual misconduct; women gamblers, after having lost their limited personal income (Pin-money), thus without legal or monetary credit to their name, could only wager their sexuality.

Hand coloured etching, 18th century watermark, plate 255 x 410mm (10 x 16"), with small margins. Small holes and abrasions in margins and plate mark. Tears to edges and some light time staining.
Richard Brinsley Butler Sheridan (1751 – 1816), fat and grotesque, dressed as Pizarro leads George III and Charlotte to the Royal box. He holds guttering candles in each hand and belows towards the stage to play God Save the King. George III remarks to Charlotte, "No! no! no Jacobins here all Loyal all Loyal, Charming Man the Author eh! charming Man, never saw him in such a good light before." Three princesses follow; one says: "bless me I never saw that General at Court". Behind are the Dukes of York and Cumberland. On the floor by Sheridan are two papers: 'Maidstone Loyalty' , and '[Tomorr]ow Evening performed a new play called the Loyal Author to which will be added a Peep behind the Curtain Vivan[t] Rex et Regina'. The curtain is down; on the proscenium, replacing the usual 'Veluti in Speculum', is 'Anti Jacobin House'. Charles James Fox (1749–1806) and another man stand in the pit, waving their hats towards the royal box. All the principal Drury Lane singers sang 'God Save the King' before the perfomance, with the Duke of York's (Coldstream) band on the stage. 'Rule Britannia' was sung between Pizarro and the farce ('The Apprentice') and 'God Save the King' was again sung while the King and Queen were leaving the theatre. Sheridan adapted Pizarro (1796) from August von Kotzebue's Spanier in Peru (1796).
