Abstract

"The royal party on board a vessel which, though the sail is inscribed 'Southampton Frigate', resembles a fishing-vessel. They are seated in the stern in the worst throes of sea-sickness: the King (centre), his hat tied on with a handkerchief, clasps his stomach. One of the princesses, holding a smelling-bottle, supports the Queen. The helmsman is impeded by a fat lady who drinks from a bottle. A princess (left) droops despairingly, another (right) appeals to Heaven for mercy. A sailor (left) carries off a bucket, holding his nose. Below the deck appear the heads of two beef-eaters, vomiting."--British Museum online catalogue
