Title Object: Object: Mrs. Topper's Dream |, or | Overboard she vent. | Written expressly for the Occasion, by Scriblerus Horselydownus Description Illustration to 'A New Song', which with the (printed) title is on a separate sheet. On the plate: 'Sung by Mr Norman, at the Royalty Theatre, Wall Street, Wellclose Square'. A woman falls head-first out of a low truckle-bed, her terrified husband sits up, arms extended; both scream. The room is small, with indications of poverty: wash-tub, table with ragged cloth, plate, bottle of 'Gin', &c., rough shelf over fireplace, with tea-things, coffee-pot, and medicine-bottle. Through the window is seen the rigging of a ship. A frightened cat has climbed on to the table. Over the fireplace is a broadside: 'Over Board he Vent', a man falls head-first from a rowing-boat, leaving a truculent man in possession. There is also a small print of a ship. The verses (24 ll.) begin: After vashing hard vun day, Mrs. Topper went to bed, She dreams, bawls, hits her husband in her sleep; he throws her out of bed. c. 1812. Hand-coloured etching.
