Croker the dancer

Published

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

wood engraving
100 x 55 mm
Peel 2123a
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 Croker holding a number of the John Bull.
Provenance

Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.

Summary

Croker, dressed in motley, beats a big pan on a stiffened newspaper, "The John Bull".
