This scene was probably taken from a cartoon in a European print, and is close to a print by Thomas Rowlandson, English Curiosity - Or Foreigner Stared out of Countenance, which was published in 1794. See D. Howard and J. Ayers, ibid., p.377, where they sugggest that the crest may be that of Cust. A very similar cup and saucer is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, and a dessert plate from the Reeves Collection, was exhibited Washington & Lee University, catalogue no. 182 (colour).
