Abstract:
"Three fat Englishwomen, wearing feathered bonnets, are dressing the fair Circassian, see British Museum Satires No. 13391, &c. One laces a corset-bodice, which covers her breasts and reaches almost to the knee. The victim throws up her arms, exclaiming, "Ah! Ah! me no bear dot; too tight; nasty tiff ting Me no eat no drink no do noting at all in dat." The other says: "Poh! Poh Child You will soon be used to them, and we'll shew you what You can do in them." A second woman (left), much more décolletée than the Circassian, holds a collar with vandyked edging. She says: "And then she'll like the nasty tiff ting, as well as we do they keep us in shape! Pray what would the Dandys do without them [see British Museum Satires No. 13394]." On the right are two bearded Persians wearing scimitars and pistols, the so-called eunuchs. One stoops to touch the stiff corset, saying to his companion: "Very good ting Muley No want us guarde now!" The other answers: "Ah! den we go drink de brown tout Hamet!" A woman stands behind them holding out a gown; she says over her shoulder: "Aye and you must drink a rare quantity before it will make men of ye!!" The Circassian's oriental dress and jewelled turban lie on the ground. From a band-box (left) projects an enormous bonnet vulgarly trimmed with feathers and flowers. Behind it is a dressing-table."--British Museum online catalogue
