Naval eloquence., James Gillray, 1795

The duke of clarence (three-quarter length), dressed as a rough sailor, stands full-face with folded arms, looking to the right with a belligerent stare. He wears a shapeless hat, a naval coat, striped trousers, a handkerchief knotted round his neck. He says: "damn all bond st sailors i say, a parcel of smell smocks! they'd sooner creep into a jordan than face the french! dam me!" 6 january 1795 etching. Date: 1795.
