[George, Prince of Wales & the Duchess of Gordon] A Racket at a Rout or Billingsgate Removed to the West.
[Charles Williams.]
Pub.d June 9th 1803 by S W Fores 50 Piccadilly. Folios of Caracatures lent out for the Evening.
Coloured etching watermark J. Ruse 1802. 245 x 350mm (9½ x 13¾"). Trimmed into plate at bottom, mounted in album paper at edges.
Jane, Duchess of Gordon (c.1748-1812, a patron of Robert Burns), argues with the Prince of Wales at a function, to the embarrassment of the attendees. During the Peace of Amiens Jane visited Napoleon in Paris and bought a painted portrait (presumably the miniature around her neck here), leading to a row with the Prince. She then sent a message to the King and Queen that she would not attend the Birthday, but went and was ignored.
