Published

wood engraving
148 x 81 mm
Peel 2145
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 Duke of Cumberland as Jack in the Green.
Provenance
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
Summary
The largest and principal figure is Jack-in-the-Green with Cumberland's head peeping through the leafage; the framework is made of fetters forming a sort of crown at the apex, and is placarded "Oligarchy".
