The burning shame [graphic].Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[9 March 1809]eng"Two watchmen holding up lanterns on poles stand one on each side of the door of Mrs. Clarke's house in 'Gloucester Place' [see British Museum Satires No. 11222]. Between them stands a man holding a pole, supporting a board: 'Beware of Bad Houses And Naughty Women'. This obstructs access to the house, where a couple are seen through a window embracing each other (right). On the left an officer and a parson who have been approaching, retreat in dismay. On the right a burly termagant clenches her fists. One of the new gas-lamps, see British Museum Satires No. 10798, &c, projects from the corner of the house, its globe inscribed 'Light & Heat Company'."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Temporary local subject terms: Lanterns: Gas lamp.
