About this work

A hand-coloured etching by Thomas Rowlandson, dated 1787, shows a crowded gallery with bewigged men in black robes, fashionably dressed women and gentlemen in coloured coats, and a woman in a pink gown driving a pack of dogs across the floor. A sign on a figure in the lower gallery reads 'The Playing Girls on the Lord's Day,' and a memorial tablet and royal crest hang on the walls. The caricature is titled 'Reformation - or - The Wonderful Effects of a Proclamation!!!'
