German-luxury, or, Repos a l'allemande [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[22 January 1800]eng"A German officer lies on his back on a truckle bed in a poverty-stricken room. He smokes a long curved pipe, emitting clouds of smoke. His bare feet project from the striped duvet which is his only covering; on his nightcap is an insect. The plaster has fallen from the wall leaving large patches of brick; on it hang his sword, cloak, cocked hat, and a bust portrait of Frederick the Great inscribed 'F. 11'. The only objects on the boarded floor are a close-stool (left) with a torn 'Brussells Gazette', a chamber-pot, and pair of jack-boots (right)."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Temporary local subject terms: Interiors: delapidated cottage -- Furniture: truckle bed -- Close-stool -- Chamberpots -- Newspapers: Brussels Gazette -- Smoking: pipe -- Pictures amplifying subject: portrait of Frederick II -- Military uniforms: German uniform -- Emblems: two-headed Habsburg eagle -- Germany: German Legion (York Hussars).1 print : etching with aquatint on wove paper, hand-colored ; sheet 27.0 x 34.7 cm.Sheet trimmed within plate mark on right and left edges.Mounted on leaf 20 of volume 10 of 12.
