In this satirical print, Heath irreverently links the novelty of having a pet giraffe with having a new mistress. King George IV sits on the back of a high stepping giraffe with Lady Conyngham (the King's mistress) shown with an exaggerated rear-end and feathered headdress, sitting sidewise on the animal behind him.
