-
"The Duke of York and his bride walk arm in arm, in the manner of a tramping soldier and his wife. A large bundle on his back is inscribed 'L. 300000'; he uses his sabre as a walking-stick. She is pregnant, and carries a large money-bag: 'Pin Money £50000 Pr Annm'. Behind them (left) in the distance is a castle with a flag inscribed 'Berlin'. The Duke wears regimentals with his star; the Duchess wears a simple straw hat, tilted back to show a tiara."--British Museum online catalogue.
