Library's copy imperfect: closely trimmed within plate mark, with loss of caption title.
A sequel to BMSat 6932 ("Wife & no wife") which was reissued 27 March 1788. The final figure of the date appears to have been altered from '6' to '8'. The Prince and Mrs. Fitzherbert in the bedroom of a French inn ; a maidservant enters (left) with a tea-tray. The Prince, yawning and stretching with a dissipated air, is seated on the edge of a table; the revelry of the past night is indicated by an overturned decanter, broken wineglass, and a broken candle. Another candlestick and broken wine-glass lie on the ground, together with the Prince's top-boots. He wears slippers and his stockings are ungartered, the 'honi soit qui mal y' [pense] ribbon hanging round his leg. Mrs. Fitzherbert, seated on the bed, draws on a stocking; her garter inscribed 'Fox' lies on the ground (cf. BMSat 7306). The bed is heavily draped with fringed curtains. The Prince's feathered hat hangs on the wall. Cf. British Museum online catalog.
