Robert Seymour
1798-1836
Good genius
[London] : [G. Cowie],
wood engraving
112 x 60 mm
Peel 2153
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-- with often different captions-- in Figaro in London, also published by Strange. The identical image appeared in Figaro in London, no. 4, 1831, with the same title.
Summary:
Brougham as a fairy skips from the "Wool" Sack. He has butterfly-wings, a wreath of roses, a short petticoat formed of the Purse of the Great Seal, and his wand is the mace.
