This print depicts one of Charles Mathew's monopolylogues called 'Mathew-orama for 1825 or My Memorandum Book". It depicts Mathews in the centre behind a carpet covered tabel surrounded by twelve of his characters. The scene takes place in the courtyard of an imaginary inn called 'The Crown Inn". There is a balustrade running around the courtyard and a sign on the second floor with an image of a crown. This is possibly a print after the Cruikshank version which is in the British Museum.
