Notes
Library's copy trimmed within plate mark.
Print shows the Prince of Wales in profile to the left, holding a shepherd's crook, seated on the ground by a trough in which two swine are feeding. He is dressed in his accustomed manner, but his coat is out at elbows, his top-boots wrinkled, his breeches unfastened at the knee where the Garter is represented by the word 'Honi' (reversed); the three ostrich feathers lie on the ground beside him. Cf. George.
