title:
Farmer George's Daughter Polly, longing for a slice of single Gloucester
date:
June 21, 1816
description:
The Duke of Gloucester, wearing an apron over his uniform, embraces Princess Mary, represented as a fat dairymaid. She stands with her back to a churn and tubs under a casement window. Against the wall is a dresser on which are cheeses and a cream-bowl. A large pile of cheeses is on the ground. A lean cat drinks from a dipper. A miniature McMahon, much burlesqued, enters from the right, carrying a huge 'Field Marshalls Batoon' and hanging from his pocket is a large 'Privy Purse'. Dialogue is in speech balloons. Source: George.
