T. Rowlandson del. Published by R. Ackermann.--The old Member and his
dog are passing, on their way to the Houses of Parliament, through
Lisle Street, evidently a spot of some temptation to the personage who
forms the subject of the caricature, an eccentric celebrity, without
doubt, at the time of the publication. The establishment of Mrs. Woods
is evidently the rock a-head which threatens the venerable senator;
Mrs. Woods, the lady abbess, is, with one of her decoying nymphs,
standing at the door of her mansion; two more syrens are beckoning the
passer-by from a window, and various houris appear above, all issuing
their invitations to the M.P., an individual of consideration. The
amorous character of the vicinity is indicated by the circumstances
surrounding a coach, which is driving by. The coachman has a pretty
girl on his box, and while he is publicly saluting her cheek, his fare,
an officer, is kissing a fair companion in the vehicle, and two street
Arabs, a boy and a girl, are stealing a ride on the back, and they too
are indulging in a loving embrace, disregarding the insecurity of their
situation.
