"A game at whist at a round card-table. 'Betty' (left) holds out, with a triumphant grin, the ace of spades with which she is about to take the seventh consecutive trick. Her mistress, Miss Humphrey, sits on her left. The two men are said to be Tholdal, a German, who turns his head in astonishment towards Betty, and Betty's partner, Mortimer, [Or, according to Wright and Evans, Mr. Jeffrey (presumably the enemy of Mrs. Fitzherbert) and Watson (presumably the print-seller), but in 'Scientific Researches' (23 May 1802) the former is identified by Wright as Tholdal, and in 'Connoisseurs . . .' (16 Nov. 1807) 'Watson' is identified by him as Mortimer.] a picture-dealer and restorer. A scene in Bond Street, shortly before the removal to St. James's Street. This print (reversed) appears in Humphrey's shop window in Gillray's 'Very Slippy-Weather', 1808."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state of similar composition.
