Love and opportunity [graphic].publish'd as the act directs, 1 Sepr. 1768.eng"A satire on the folly of marriage where the two parties are of a dissimilar age, and on the sexual opportunism of young military office. An elderly magistrate has fallen asleep sitting beside a table on which are glasses, pipes and two bottles, one labelled “Port” in front of an empty grate. He holds a copy of “Compleat JUSTICE”, showing him to be a Justice of the Peace, and a paper protrudes from his pocket lettered “-him for a Trepass on...”. On a bracket table behind him are “BURNS JUSTICE”, a paper lettered “Stealing a Hare” and another “Mid to Wit...”. On the wall over his head is a stag’s head with antlers alluding to his cuckoldry. On the other side of the fireplace, watching him, his pretty young wife sits beside an army officer who caresses her. The officer’s hat hangs on the wall behind them. On the mantelpiece are two oriental style jars and a figure of Budai,” the smiling Buddha” and over these is a gun suspended upside down.."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from item.Sheet partially trimmed within plate mark.
