He smokes a long pipe, and puffs smoke sideways towards his visitor with an inscrutable expression; beside him are coffee-pot and cup. She smokes a hookah; a bottle of 'Coniac' and a glass are beside her. A Tunisian with a long beard and baggy breeches stands between them, staring and bowing towards the Princess; he says: "His Highness Trusts the endeavours of his household for your Gratification is successful and that happiness in the Halb of the Faithfull attends you." She answers: "their Assiduities are unceasing I am as Happy as the Dey [altered to] Day is Long!!!" Behind her couch stands Bergami, in hussar costume with three orders; he scowls with clenched fists, saying: "this is an unfortunate Dey for me Othellos occupation's gone.""--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Attributed to William Heath in the British Museum catalogue.</dc:description><dc:description>Sheet trimmed within plate mark.</dc:description><dc:description>Satire on George IV and Queen Caroline.</dc:description><dc:description>Printed on watermarked paper.</dc:description><dc:description>Window mounted to 24.3 x 34.3 cm, the whole then mounted to 58 x 39 cm.</dc:description><dc:description>Mounted (with one other print) on leaf 47 in volume 1 of the W.E.
