The Hereditary Prince of Würtemberg, enormously corpulent,
advances in profile to the l. towards the Princess Royal, his
stomach supported on the bent back of a negro servant in livery
(cf. BMSat 5433), saying, I was come from Yarmony to love you
dearly, and was take you to Yarmony to love me. The Princess
(l.), stout but comely, regards him appraisingly, saying, Lord what
a Porpoise Pho!!! The n__o, with clenched fists and contorted
face, shouts: Oh Lord oh lord my Neck will break. I can't carry it
any farther. The Prince's gold-laced embroidered waistcoat and
his ribbon contribute to his grotesque appearance; his coat is
dotted with stars and orders as in BMSat 9006. Behind (r.), a
man holding a saw stands by a small table out of which a
semicircular piece has been cut: he says, his face and gestures
expressing alarmed astonishment: Egad they did well to order a
piece to be cut out of the Table, or he never could have reached
his Dinner, and how he will reach her, God only knows. I
suppose he has some German Method a rare Ram this to mend
the Breed [cf. BMSat 8827]. A patterned carpet and pictures on
the wall complete the design

The Hereditary Prince of Würtemberg, enormously corpulent,
advances in profile to the l. towards the Princess Royal, his
stomach supported on the bent back of a negro servant in livery
(cf. BMSat 5433), saying, I was come from Yarmony to love you
dearly, and was take you to Yarmony to love me. The Princess
(l.), stout but comely, regards him appraisingly, saying, Lord
what a Porpoise Pho!!! The n__o, with clenched fists and
contorted face, shouts: Oh Lord oh lord my Neck will break. I
can't carry it any farther. The Prince's gold-laced
embroidered waistcoat and his ribbon contribute to his
grotesque appearance; his coat is dotted with stars and
orders as in BMSat 9006. Behind (r.), a man holding a saw
stands by a small table out of which a semicircular piece has
been cut: he says, his face and gestures expressing
alarmed astonishment: Egad they did well to order a piece to
be cut out of the Table, or he never could have reached his
Dinner, and how he will reach her, God only knows. I suppose he
has some German Method a rare Ram this to mend the Breed
[cf. BMSat 8827]. A patterned carpet and pictures on the wall
complete the design

  • 26. @j_w_baker The Hereditary Prince of Würtemberg, enormously corpulent, advances in profile to the l. towards the Princess Royal, his stomach supported on the bent back of a negro servant in livery (cf. BMSat 5433), saying, I was come from Yarmony to love you dearly, and was take you to Yarmony to love me. The Princess (l.), stout but comely, regards him appraisingly, saying, Lord what a Porpoise Pho!!! The n__o, with clenched fists and contorted face, shouts: Oh Lord oh lord my Neck will break. I can't carry it any farther. The Prince's gold-laced embroidered waistcoat and his ribbon contribute to his grotesque appearance; his coat is dotted with stars and orders as in BMSat 9006. Behind (r.), a man holding a saw stands by a small table out of which a semicircular piece has been cut: he says, his face and gestures expressing alarmed astonishment: Egad they did well to order a piece to be cut out of the Table, or he never could have reached his Dinner, and how he will reach her, God only knows. I suppose he has some German Method a rare Ram this to mend the Breed [cf. BMSat 8827]. A patterned carpet and pictures on the wall complete the design M.
