Was "stirring with the lark," bent on fixing myself for a month's sponge on a friend who was going to Rusticate; way laid him and accepted a seat in his gig, or rather balance room on the edge of it; had not proceeded far before he spilt me, by accidentlly coming in contact with a post, & then drove on laughing, nothing daunted, however, rose, put a good face the matter, & exclaimed "Go on I'll follow thee".

An Affecting Scene in the Downs.
[William Heath]
London - Printed and Published, August, 1809, by Johnston, Cheapside.
Coloured etching. 170 x 270mm (6¾ x 10½), set in letterpress. Album paper pasted over left edge of image, some damage to right edge. Persons identified in old ink mss.
Sir William Curtis leans over the stern of his yacht towards Castlereagh who is being rowed ashore by a boatman. His yacht is covered with provisions, including a turtle. Underneath the verse is a parody of Gay's 'Black-eyed Susan'. Curtis had a contract making ship's biscuit and other dry provisions for the Royal Navy during the unsuccessful Walcheren Campaign, of which Castlereagh was a proponent. This satire suggests that the £8 million cost of the campaign included fine foods for the officers.
