- Abstract:
- "Two cats on garden walls approach each other menacingly. One (left) is white, with the features of Queen Caroline, the other a dark tabby with the features of George IV. Each miaows, raising an angry paw. The Queen is on a 'Party Wall', at right angles to that of the King. In the garden below is a placard, 'Malbrou'. She says: "Meyough you -- you have no business to go Caterwalling." He says: "Meyough you B-- you have no business to come so near me." Below the design: 'Like two Cats on a Wall; They Quarrel & Snarl, To amuse the Weak Minds of the Nation. They Squander large Sums, Expose their bare Bums, For all which they deserve Castigation.'"--British Museum online catalogue
