Line block print to illustrate the frontispiece of a proposed translation of the 'Sixth Satire' by Juvenal depicting two monkey footmen carrying an opulent sedan chair with a rose motif. A figure is depicted inside behind curtains, possibly Juvenal or 'a dowager of the type Juvenal describes' (p.118, 'Aubrey Beardsley: A Catalogue Raisonné, Volume II' by Linda Gertner Zatlin, Yale University Press, 2016). Behind is a row of buildings likened to Georgian London and Regency Brighton.
