The Gordon knot, or, The bonny duchess hunting the Bedfordshire bull / Js. Gy. invt. et fect.
From the library of Gordon N. Ray.
Print shows the Duchess of Gordon pursuing a bull (the Duke of Bedford) with a ribbon inscribed 'Matrimony', tied in a bow. Her daughter (Lady Georgiana) runs behind her, saying, "Run, Mither! - run! run! O how I long to lead the sweet bonny Creature in a string! run! Mither! run. run." The Duchess cries: "De'el hurst your weam, ye overgrown Fool, what are ye kicking at? - are we not ganging to lead ye to Graze on the banks o' the Tweed, & to make ye free o' the Mountains o the North? - Stop! - stop! ye silly Loon ye! stop!, stop, stop." In the background, three other married daughters of the Duchess (Susan, Louisa, and Charlotte) dance hand in hand.
