A pencil drawing of a seated man throwing up his hands in surprise and horror, dropping his cane and newspaper, his feet flying in the air. Inscription below gives title; inscription above gives the artist's name.

Henry William Bunbury came from an aristocratic family, served in the army and as the Duke of York and Albany's equerry. He was a prolific caricaturist and his drawings satirise society and culture of the later eighteenth century. In London he moved in the circles of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Dr Johnson and David Garrick. This drawing with its humorous figure and caption was probably intended for a print.
