Title
Enter Cowslip with a bowl of cream. -Vide Brandenburg theatricals
Description
English: An enormously fat lady stands in profile to the left, holding a bowl (resembling a punch-bowl), her left hand on her hip, holding up the frilled apron which drapes her quilted petticoat. She wears ringlets with a small ribbon-trimmed straw hat poised on the side of her head. Her girth is accentuated by her quasi-peasant costume, with laced bodice, and flowered over-dress looped up in festoons, giving her a globular contour. Beneath the design:
"------Ay, here 's the masculine to the feminine gender" (words spoken by Cowslip, the young dairymaid in O'Keefe's 'Agreeable Surprise'). Below the title:
"As a Cedar Tall & Slender;
"Sweet Cowslip's grace
"Is her nom'tive case,
"And she 's of the feminine gender." [Song in Act II.] 13 June 1795
