Description
English: Lady Strachan and Lady Warwick making love in a park, while their husbands look on with disapproval. Coloured etching, ca. 1820.

Notes from previously-uploaded monochrome image File:Love-a-la-Mode-Lady-HamiltonQ.jpg

"Love-à-la-mode, or Two dear friends", an early 19th-century caricature by James Gillray, reportedly depicting a scandalous rumour told about Emma, Lady Hamilton (Nelson's mistress), and Queen Maria Carolina of Naples (presumably the woman on the left, who seems to be wearing some kind of coronet or crown beneath the feathers in her headdress). Emma has taken off her bonnet and put it on the bench. Two men spy out the situation in some distaste, from behind the bushes.

  • Text in image:
One lady to the other
"Little does he imagine that he has a female rival"
Gentleman in nautical uniform (Nelson?)
"What is to be done to put a stop to this disgraceful Business?"
Other gentleman
"Take her from Warwick"(?)
Note: Nelson and Emma Hamilton briefly visited Warwick in early September 1802, but Maria Carolina wasn't with them.
