Sandwich-Carrots! James Gillray
Sandwich-Carrots! James Gillray: 1796
Return

Lord Sandwich was reputed to give a guinea to a flower-girl or an itinerant barrow-woman that attracted his attention. His caring generosity well known!

At the corner of Little Maddox Street and New Bond Street, a smirking and red-cheeked Lord Sandwich approaches from behind and fondles a young barrow woman selling carrots. The woman’s body is voluptuous and her toe points daintily to the ground as she looks back over her shoulder compliantly. Through his breeches the earl makes a sexually suggestive gesture with the fore- and middle-fingers of his right hand, his left tucked inside the woman’s apron.
