"Oh! Listen the voice of love.", James Gillray, 1799

An ugly man (left) kneels (on a spotted handkerchief) at the feet of a plain old maid seated on an upright chair; he holds her left hand, his right is on his breast. She holds up her fan in a way more encouraging than coy. Both grin broadly. A patterned carpet and plain wall complete the design. 14 november 1799 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1799. Dimensions: Height: 219 mm; Width: 192 mm. Medium: paper. Collection: British Museum. "Oh! Listen the voice of love." (BM 1868,0808.12568)
