Robert Seymour
1798-1836
Wetherell as clown
[London] : [G. Cowie],
wood engraving
91 x 68 mm
Peel 2142
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 different captions-- in Figaro in London, also published by Strange. The identical image appeared in Figaro in London, no. 22, 1832, with the title Wetherell as a clown.
Summary:
Wetherell, grotesquely knock-kneed, as a clown, blows a trumpet.
