"A woman, fashionably dressed, is being led to the altar of Hymen by a youth. The altar is decorated with a mask and chains. Hymen, who stands on the altar, draws a veil over her face, holding her torch downwards. On the ground is a sleeping cupid. Behind the bride is a house, inscribed 'Alfred House'; on the ground at her feet are books, the cap and staff of Liberty (which she is treading under foot), an inkpot and pen. This symbolizes the marriage of Mrs. Catherine Macaulay, aged 57, with William Graham, aged 21, the younger brother of James Graham the quack doctor. Alfred House (2 Alfred Street, Bath) had been presented to her by Dr. Thomas Wilson; on her marriage he wished to eject her from it. She is here represented as throwing aside her historical writings and her patriotic zeal for an unnatural marriage."--British Museum catalogue
