A later impression of the one described by George; with the imprint changed from "August 1822" to "Octr. 1822"; the words "Smith" and "Culling" underlined; "Giovani" altered to "Giovan̄i"; "Brook Street" altered to "Bxxxk Street"; and "xxxx Ghost" substituted for "Harriet's Ghost."
Print contains two designs, one below the other. The upper image shows the Marquis of Worcester (later the 7th Duke of Beaufort) on the roof of a London house, helping Miss Culling Smith out of an attic window. He is saying: "Come to Worcester my dear Girl & then I will turn a Somerset, and we'll get married directly and be off to France where you can be brought to bed and all will be kept secret." Miss Smith, who is visibly pregnant, replies: "Hold me fast my dear Henry my Uncle little thought you could make love in a Gutter." Behind, a maid servant in the window says: "I will give you a lift Miss, bless me how heavy you are!" The design within the lower panel shows the marriage of Worcester and Miss Smith. The pair stand before an alter at which a parson reads: "Secondly, it was Ordained for a remedy against Sin, and to avoid Fornication, that such persons as have not the gift of continency, might marry and keep themselves undefiled &cc &cc." At left, wrapped in smoke, stands the ghost of a woman in a shroud. She says: "False hearted man Man behold me and tremble," while Worcester draws back in alarm, exclaiming: "Heavens tis xxxx Ghost!!!"
