Summary:
Print shows a large chamber pot, cracked, supported by the legs of Mrs. Jordan. The Duke of Clarence has thrust his head and shoulders within a fissure in the ']ordan', singing a chanty, "Yeo! Yee! Yeo!" He is in back view and wears striped sailor's trousers; his naval coat with its star hangs on the wall.
