Published

wood engraving
75 x 111 mm
Peel 2129
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. 61, 1833, with the same title.
Provenance
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
Summary
A King holding knife and fork over a bowl containing birds with human faces; a woman in the background hanging the laundry while a bird is pecking her nose.
