John Montagu, 5th Earl of Sandwich, is following a young woman who is pushing a barrow of carrots through the West End of London. Process print after J. Gillray.

"A buxom girl pushes (left to right) her barrow of carrots along the pavement of Bond Street, looking over her right shoulder at Lord Sandwich ('Jemmy Twitcher'), who overtakes her and twitches her apron. He is in profile to the right, leering at her. Her elegant shoes and clocked stockings are inconsistent with her occupation. The background is a bookseller's shop at the corner of 'Little Maddox Street' (left) and 'New-Bond Street' (right), displaying the royal arms. Over the door, in Bond Street, is 'Faulder' and above the two windows, 'Bookseller & book binder'. Pamphlets or open books fill the panes of the windows: 'Rules of the Order of Sr Francis' [an allusion to Sir Francis Dashwood and the profligate order of Medmenham Abbey]; 'List of servant maids'; 'A chip of the old block'; 'Doe hunting an ode by an old buck hound'; 'The beauties of Bond Street' ... 'A journey through life - from Maddox Street unto Conduit Street & back again'. The side of a third shop-window in Maddox Street appears on the extreme left."--British Museum online catalogue

Sandwich held the office of Master of the Buckhounds in the British Royal Household, hence the book title 'Doe hunting an ode by an old buck hound' in the present print
