A hint to the ladies, or, A visit from Dr. Flannel!! [graphic]Cruikshank, Isaac, 1764-1811, printmaker[1807?]eng"A grotesque old doctor, with carbuncled nose, approaches a lady, bowing low and holding out a clumsy petticoat. He says: "Mrs Jenny said your Ladyship complain'd of being cold about the loins - so I have Just stept in with a warm flannel petticoat." She is seated beside a tea-table, and throws up her arms, flinching back in horror; she says: "I have no loins fellow! do you want to make a monster of me?!!" She wears a high-waisted, short-sleeved dress, under which her legs are defined. Her little dog barks at the doctor. A large urn and a small cup (overturned) and saucer, are the only objects on the table."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Date of publication from British Museum catalogue.Plate numbered "295" in upper right corner.Plate from: Woodward, G.M.
