A game at whist at a round card table. ‘Betty’ on the left holds out, with a triumphant grin, the ace of spades, with which she is about to take the seventh consecutive trick. Her mistress, Miss Humphrey, sits on her left. The two men are said to be Tholdal, a German, who turns his head in astonishment towards Betty, and Betty’s partner, Mortimer, a picture dealer and restorer. A scene in Bond Street shortly before the transfer of Mrs Humphrey’s business to St James’s Street. This print (reversed) appears in Humphrey’s shop window in Gillray’s Very Slippy-Weather, of 1808.
