1829
Lettering: Georgena the lady's maid. Mine is the best place in the house - to be sure my Lady can be a little whimsical - so am I -lor I can do anything I like with her - then again I am such a favourite with all our Tradespeople - ah! my character is everything. "Nothing so true as what you once let fall. Most women have no characters at all" - for what a wretch that Pope was for saying such a thing. Household servants in six plates by William Heath No 2.
