Descripción

Hand Coloured caricature, measures approx 10. x 15 inches (25 x 43 cm). The copper engraving has original colouring, trimmed close but with the yellow and pale brown borders on all sides. The image is free of any foxing, some small chips & small closed splits at edges, with several old sellotape burns on the reverse, sellotape now removed. Laid cartridge paper. Very Good. * We have another example of this print, the colouring is a little different to that other, as one would expect with individuals colouring to order. **NOTE: A violent disturbance in a luxuriously furnished breakfast parlour. The only lady present has risen from her chair to pull a bell-pull. The frantic efforts of five elderly men to stop her have produced a sequence of disasters. Over the chimney-piece is a picture of a fat Cupid firing his bow; his quiver is reversed, and one leg is transfixed with an arrow. The walls of the room are ornamented by gilt pilasters in the shape of palm-trees. Between them are empty candle-sconces decorated with palm-branches. The men appear to be the suitors of a rich widow. Ref: Cf. BMSat 9822. N° de ref. del artículo 8263
