The governor and his lady
[London] : [G. Cowie],
wood engraving
84 x 52 mm
Peel 2125a
Provenance:
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
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. 59, 1833, with the title The governor and his lady.
Title from earlier version in Figaro. Image trimmed to remove all accompanying text.
Summary:
A man dressed as a clown stands with open arms, and a sour-looking lady stands slightly behind him holding a fan.
