Andrew Robinson Bowes, Esqr. : as he appeared in the Court of Kings Bench on Tuesday the 28th Novr. 1786 to answer the articles exhibited against him by his wife, the Countess of Strathmore.
[London] : Pub'd Decr. 2d, 1786 by E. Jackson, Marybone Street, Golden Square, [1786]
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
Print shows Bowes, apparently very ill, being helped into court by two men who hold him by the arms. The two judges, Ashurst (left) and Buller (right), look down at him. Beneath them stands the Clerk of Arraigns, in legal wig and gown, reading from a large document inscribed 'Articles of Charges'. The men holding Bowes wear riding-boots and long coats and hold cudgels; they appear to be two of the Bow Street Officers, McManus and others, who pursued Bowes with a writ and brought him back to London. Behind and on the right of Bowes is a crowd of spectators, including Lady Strathmore and her maid Morgan, the former with her hands in a muff and her breasts immodestly exposed.
Peel, Robert, 1788-1850, former owner.
