The discovery or female Free-Mason (BM 1868,0808.4456 2)

Portrait (whole length) of the Chevalier d'Eon, as a woman. He is fashionably dressed, and resembles a good-looking woman of fashion, his head turned slightly to the left showing an elongated pearl ear-ring. He wears a cap over high-dressed hair, a low-cut bodice with ruffled elbow-sleeves. His right hand, on his hip, holds a sword. With his left hand, which holds a cane attached to his wrist by strings, he points left towards a military coat which is spread over a chair. He wears the order of St. Louis and a free-mason's apron. Behind him on the right is a table covered with a cloth hanging in heavy folds; on it is a document, "A Policy 25 P Ct On the Chr D'Eon Man, or Woman," and two uniformly-bound books, "Lettres du Chr D'Eon", "L'Hist. du Chr D'Eon". On the wall behind a military hat and sword hang directly over d'Eon's head. On each side of him is a picture: one (left) represents Mrs. Tofts producing rabbits (see BMSat 1778-86); the other depicts the bottle-imp, seated in a large funnel which is in the neck of a bottle (see BMSat 3022-7). Beneath each picture is the bust of a man; that on the left is Wilkes, an associate of d'Eon, who was accused of trafficking in the insurances on his sex (see BMSat 4870). 25 June 1771
