What a cur 'tis! [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[9 June 1795]eng"Lord Howe sits full-face in an armchair, reading a 'Gazette' headed 'June Ist 1795'. He wears naval uniform, with a hat, smokes a long pipe and scowls meditatively. A dog with the head of Sir Roger Curtis grovels at his feet, kissing his right toe; he has a collar inscribed 'Black Dick's Dog'. Behind Howe is a row of windows close together, with a view of the sea and ships. Beneath the windows is a broad shelf on which are wine-bottles, a sextant, and a punch-bowl. On a table at Howe's right hand are a glass of wine and a plan of Torbay."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Text below title: Done from an original drawing by a British officer & publish'd as a guide to preferment.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Temporary local subject terms: Interiors: ship cabin -- Newspapers: Gazette -- Glass: wine bottles -- Glass: wine glasses -- Dishes: punch bowl -- Naval instruments: sextants -- Maps: map of Torbay -- Chamber pots -- Pets: dogs -- Smoking: pipes -- Naval uniforms: admiral's uniform -- Furniture: armchair.1 print : etching on wove paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 29.9 x 25.0 cm, on sheet 31.8 x 26.2 cm.Mounted on leaf 58 of volume 3 of 12.
