The trial of M. D'Eon by a jury of matrons [graphic].[1771]eng"The Chevalier d'Eon (l.), wearing a military hat and the order of St. Louis round his neck, stands, partly draped, on a pedestal before a jury of twelve ladies (r.) who are to decide upon his sex, a matter which has for several weeks deeply engaged "the polite and stock-jobbing world". The accompanying text indicates the identity of the jury: "Lady Har------n". [Harrington.], "L------y R------d". [Rochford?], "L------y T-----sh-----d" [Townshend], "L------y G------r". [Grosvenor], "L-----y Sarah B-----y" [Bunbury], "L------y Lig-----r" [Ligonier], "L------y R-----y" [Rodney?]. The D. of N. [Northumberland?]. They pronounced the matter doubtful."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from caption above image.Publication place and date inferred from that of the magazine for which this plate was engraved.Plate from: The town and country magazine.
