| Notes |
The design is closely related in composition and spirit to 'Days of prosperity in Gloucester Place, or a kept mistress in high feather', a satire on the Mary Anne Clarke scandal by Rowlandson, dated 24th February 1809 (BM Satires 11222). Both the 7th and 8th earls of Barrymore had reputations as rakes, and Henry, the 8th earl from 1793, was supposed to have 'assisted' at orgies held by the Prince of Wales, making it likely that he is indicated here (information from Caitlyn Lehmann). Lit.: Vic Gatrell, 'City of Laughter' (London: Atlantic Books, 2006), pp. 403-5. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
