DescriptionA visit to court, or "All the world's a stage, and men and woman merely players," Shakespeare (NYPL b12155767-5237607).jpg
English: * Lower left: Don Juan fecit. [i.e., Isaac Robert Cruikshank]. A satire on the social elevation of two theatrical celebrities through their husbands. A lord-in-waiting in court attire stands framed in a doorway. He says to two approaching ladies, "May I trouble you for your cards ladies?"
Maria Mercandotti (Mrs. Hughes Ball), in costume, on right pointe. She holds up in one hand a golden ball, and in the other a card inscribed B. At left, the actress Harriot Mellon (Mrs. Coutts) advances, her train held up by the (future) Duke of St. Albans (a paper so inscribed hanging from his pocket). Mrs. Coutts, a corpulent woman, is much jeweled and feathered; her dress is bordered with cornucopias showering coins, a cross hangs from her neck. She proffers a card inscribed C.
