L'Entree

Print shows Gaetan Vestris, at left, giving a dancing lesson to a gigantic goose with a human head and long pigtail queue, intended to represent Lord Cholmondeley. They face each other in profile. Vestris stands with his legs together, chest thrown out, his arms curved. On a stool behind the goose is an open book inscribed "Electrical E. E. L."; on the ground at its feet is another inscribed "The Torpedo. Dedicated to Ld------C------". In the wall which forms the background are two sash-windows, with a door at far right round which a grinning youth, probably a servant, is looking. On the wall are half length portraits: three in ovals of elderly ladies in profile, one of a clergyman, full-face, wearing a biretta, his left hand on a book. There is also a picture of Fox, with a fox's head, seated opposite Cholmondeley; they are throwing dice. Fox appears satisfied, the other clenches his fist and exclaims in anger. A devil is climbing on the top of the frame and holds out a claw to grab the head of Fox. On the picture are the words "A Nick by God".
