Image description

Colley Cibber (1671–1757) actor and theatre manager had been trading insults with the poet Alexander Pope (1688–1744) for some time and making fun of his small stature. In 'An Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot' Pope had written ‘And has not Colley still his lord, and whore?’ and this print refers to an incident in 1716 when Cibber and Edward Rich, Earl of Warwick took Pope to a brothel near Haymarket but Cibber interrupted, Sawney being a vulgar nickname for Alexander.
