Tory rioters

Published

[London] : [William Strange], [ca. 1834]

wood engraving
71 x 85 mm
Peel 2150
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. 7, 1831, with the title The rioters being conveyed to justice.
Provenance

Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.

Summary

A gang of ragamuffins, chained wrist to wrist, shamble shamefacedly from right to left, the one on the extreme right being a weeping old woman (Eldon). The others are (left to right) Wetherell, Cumberland, Wellington, Wharncliffe. Behind is a burning building inscribed "Constitution".
