About this work

A hand-colored caricature print titled John Bull Ask'd at Saint Stephens shows a clergyman in a pulpit reading banns of marriage between John Bull and Miss Hibernia Spinster. A figure in a wig and robes seated below responds with the words "Aye Men," while a row of onlookers in a church gallery and a group of seated figures in the foreground watch the proceedings.
