| Caption | Accomodation ladder. At the feet of a gigantic and finely-built wench is a rotund yet diminutive Admiral, with cocked-hat, telescope, sword, and all complete ; his broad riband is marked Death or Victory. For his accommodation, that he may be able to reach her countenance within hailing distance, the lady, who is more than twice the height of her admirer, is holding a ladder ready for his ascent. Artist: Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827. Date: September 1811. Sourced from Digital Commonwealth website. |
