Lord North caricatured as a very fat old woman, stands washing linen at a shallow tub which is supported on a stool. He is in profile to the right, a cloth tied over his head, a large handkerchief over his shoulders. The bag of his wig hangs over the handkerchief, and his Garter ribbon is worn under it. The background shows the corner of a room, in the wall on the right, in the upper right corner of the print, is a window, through which two grinning old women are looking in at the washerwoman. On the wall (left) is inscribed, "Linen Wash'd 50 PCt Cheaper than at any oth[er] Place in London by Mary North. Author of the Treatise upon washing without Soap, and many other Ingenious Performances". 16 April 1782
