The Lady of the Lake... play King of Great Britain'The Lady of the Lake', 1810. A rough, muscular woman, with a clay pipe and bottle in her pocket, stands in a dinghy, holding an oar on the boom of which is inscribed 'Moll Muggins, Billingsgate'. The woman's pose travesties the words of the quotation from Sir Walter Scott.
