Robert Seymour
1798-1836
Windsor waggery
[London] : [G. Cowie],
wood engraving
70 x 78 mm
Peel 2169
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. 94, 1833, with the same title.
Summary:
Queen Adelaide and King William IV fuss over Maria, the visiting Queen of Portugal, feeding her with spoons as if she were a baby, from bowls marked "Conserves" and "Sweetmeats."
