wood engraving
68 x 70 mm
Peel 2181
Provenance:
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
Notes:
Probably detached from one of four issues of Whiggeries and waggeries, London : William Strange, 1834. This publication reprinted wood engravings by Robert Seymour, Robert Cruikshank, and others which had previously appeared-- often with different captions-- in Figaro in London, also published by Strange. The identical image appeared in Figaro in London, no. 74, 1832, with the same title.
Summary:
Three demons (Wellington, Lyndhurst, and Cobbett) armed with forks and a grill (?) drive Don Giovanni (Grey).
