[London] : Pubd. May 14th 1792 by H. Humphrey, N. 18 Old Bond Street, [1792]
Provenance:
From the library of Gordon N. Ray.
Notes:
By James Gillray.
Evidently a burlesque of a lover's quarrel between Fox and Mrs. Armistead.
Summary:
Print shows Fox raising a dagger in his right hand, as if to strike the portly figure of Mrs. Armistead (later Elizabeth Fox). Both figures, especially that of Fox, have the exaggerated expressions of ranting actors in melodrama.
