Published:
[London] : [William Strange], [ca. 1834]
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-- often with different captions-- in Figaro in London, also published by Strange. The identical image appeared in Figaro in London, no. 37, 1832, with the same title.
Summary:
Queen Adelaide as an officer in the Blues, with a plumed helmet, wasp- waist, and short wide skirt over boots, arrogantly touches King William IV on the chin; he is at the end of a file of Grenadiers, the private next him being Wellington. Behind is Windsor Castle.
