wood engraving

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.
Provenance
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
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.
