Not on view
Text below this print associates the scene with Charles Dibdin's comic opera "The Quaker." The line comes from a song used by the main character to propose marriage. Rowlandson shows the main character outside a house placing his hand on the offered breast of a buxom young woman. Two women watch the scene from an open window above as a short, stocky man walks away at left near a sign lettered "Man traps placed in these grounds."
