Phillips (John) pseud. A Sharpshooter.

, S. Gans, 1829.
a seemingly scarce social satire depicting a man in a state of semi-undress, in long blue overcoat and unbuttoned frill shirt, one hand unbuttoning his knee-length breeches, one foot in stocking and slipper, the other bare, his boots by a chair to one side, his other hand holding a lighted candle as he stands beside his curtained bed, sniffing the air with a perplexed gaze to the front, unaware that the nightcap on his head is also alight. The title is split between the upper and lower borders, the second part possibly echoing that of a satirical poem on a similar subject by Thomas Hood, published in 1827..
