| Summary: | A copy, reversed, after a suggestive print made by Thomas Rowlandson (after George Moutard Woodward) published by Thomas Tegg, No 111, Cheapside, London [n.d., ca. 1809?]; see BM Satires 11466. Two men are depicted lying in truckle-beds [in a lodging-house]; a woman, holding a lit candle in a candle holder in her right hand, kneels at the foot of one of the beds and with her left hand appears to pull at the wooden leg of one of the men (who from the language he uses when addressing her, is a sailor). A tankard rests on a table nearby with a clay pipe and hat alongside. The woman says (in a speech bubble) "There is nothing like looking after Servants / I always like to see that my Lodgers are comfortable, / Aye heres a pretty careless trick, / the warming pan left in the gentlemans' bed / I declare!!!". He shouts at her "Hollo - Avast heaving, / zounds dont pull off my Timber / I went to bed half seas over and forgot / to stow it alongside the Hammock". |
