"The Duke of York, in regimentals, his hat and sword beside him, kneels with clasped hands before the vast head of a whale, which projects into the design from the right, and rests on a low wooden platform. He says: "O Mighty Monster of the Deep, continue to attract the attention of John Bull, bend his mind solely towards thee, for in that is my only hope-fascinated by thy powerful attractions he may perhaps forget the honour of a P------e."--British Museum online catalogue.
