The ghost
Trimmed within plate mark.
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
Print shows the Prince and Miss Gubbins (later Honor Dutton) lying in a four poster bed; they are confronted by the ghost of the Duke of Cumberland, who stands at the foot of the bed at left, wearing a shirt and boots with no pants; he points at them with his Marshal's staff, saying "most noble youth, I am thy Uncles Ghost, Doom'd for a certain time to walk at night, and win the Fates; shake off the Traitorous Crew that lurk around thy Table; expose thier treacherous schemes, inform the ruling powers what plots and treasons deep they meditae [sic] against the State; and thus by one bold patriotic deed restore Brittania's darling Son; then shall the sentence be revers'd and------shall live again"; the Miss Gubbins hides her head under the bedclothes, as she says "Oh' Dear what's the Matter if this is the Amusements of high Life I wish I was in the Crescent again", the Prince sits up with a goblet of wine in one hand as he brandishes a bottle at the ghost in the other, saying "Hush Gub dont be alarmed the Old Boy is only come for some more Burgundy".
