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-- often with different captions-- in Figaro in London, also published by Strange. The identical image appeared in Figaro in London, no. 70, April 6, 1833, with the same title.
Provenance
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
Summary
Lord Brougham, Earl Gray, and another unidentified politician present an unidentified church official with a scroll labelled, "Bill to abolish all pluralities" and a sack labelled "A reduced income," which the churchman is outraged by. Two small pigs are escaping from a sack the churchman is holding.
