France and England

Image not available
Robert Seymour
1798-1836
France and England
[London] : [G. Cowie],
wood engraving
76 x 80 mm
Peel 2174
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. 96, 1833, with the title France and England: the English dupe and the French coquette.

Summary: 

Talleyrand-- in dress and wig-- flirts with King William IV.
