wood engraving
74 x 85 mm
Peel 2178
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. 72, 1833, with the same title.
Provenance
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
Summary
Spencer, Grey, and Brougham hang from a gallows, having had the platform-- inscribed "The Times"-- drop out from under them. John Bull (?) looks on.
