A burlesque on Mr. & Mrs. Clark, or, The flitch of bacon [graphic].

"Heading to engraved verses: 'Sung by Mr Fawcett, at Covent Garden, in the Popular Farce of We Fly by Night.' In a bare farmhouse room a married couple in a truckle-bed quarrel violently. The man kneels on the bed, threatening his wife with his fists. An infant cries in a cradle, its forehead marked with an oblong patch. The moon shines through an uncurtained casement. Check curtains hang against the wall to screen the upturned bed in daytime. The verses relate that the pair agreed to apply for the (Dunmow) flitch of bacon, but quarrelled violently as to whether it should be fried or boiled. As a result 'all the little Clarks, Were mark'd with a rasher of bacon.'"--British Museum online catalogue
