Notes
Title devised by cataloger.
Trimmed to remove all accompanying text.
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. 59, 1833, without a title.
Provenance

Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
