The dwarf & the giant or the strong lad of Brighton taking off the princes chum!!!! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A scene on the Steine at Brighton. A small, fashionably dressed man carries (left to right) a large and muscular man, who sits astride his back, naked, holding his hat to shield his person. Two ladies (right) walking together stare at him, one holding up a fan and looking through the fingers she puts across her eyes. A dog (right) snarls at the naked man. On the left the Prince of Wales stands full-face, legs astride, arms akimbo, ogling a lady who stands (left) in profile to the right, staring at him immodestly (? Lady Jersey). Another lady smiles at the Prince. In the background are promenading couples, and a house with a circular bow window. Beneath the title: 'NB The singularity of the Spectacle & the Largeness of the Object caused much mirth among the Ladies - Lady C------ [? Cholmondeley] Exclaimed with a Sigh oh it is too much for any Man!!' 5 October 1795.

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) Sir John Lade made a bet with the huge Lord Cholmondeley (see BMSat 5911) that he would carry him twice round the Steine. At the appointed place he ordered Cholmondeley to strip, and on the latter's refusal won his bet. H. D. Roberts, 'Some Brighton Caricatures', 'Print Collectors Quarterly', xxiii. 109. |

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. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
