Early state of a print published 21 July 1821 by G. Humphrey with the expanded title "A coronation stool, of repentance"; in addition to having a shorter title, this early state lacks the grimace on the Queen's face, the jewelry around her neck and on her hands, and the patterns on her dress and on the carpet beneath her. For the later state with these changes to the plate, see no. 14197 in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum. Division I, political and personal satires, v. 10.
Title etched below image. - Abstract:
- "The Queen sits in profile to the right on a huge crown, her left foot on a footstool. She partly hides her face ... behind a fan inscribed C; in her right hand is a handkerchief. She is fat, very décolletée ..., with monstrous ostrich feathers in her hair."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state.
