French Discernment; or, a Bumling Discovery! (BM 1868,0808.6078)

A good-looking young woman (right) walks in profile to the right, leaning slightly forward, her hands held out as if alarmed. Her skirts project at the back. She says, "My back Settlements I fear will not secure me from a discovery". She wears a plain hat with conical crown over a muslin cap. An elderly and ugly woman (right) crouches behind her, inspecting her back, and saying, "God bless me what a discovery! Yes; yes, it is certainly the Q------s A------!" [Queen's ass, cf. BMSat 7384, &c.]. 1 July 1791
