| Description |
English: Satirical print from 1814, The Divine and the Donkey–or Petworth Frolicks against the Prince Regent and one of his entourage. A drunken parson is being put to bed with an ass-foal wrapped in a petticoat, a prank after celebrations of the battle of Leipzig. The parson is identified in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as James Stanier Clarke: he was being 'punished' for setting up an assignation with a servant-girl. The incident at Petworth House was real, but details such as the presence of the Prince Regent seem to be fictional. |
