Abstract: "Print shows a man, the celebrated juggler, standing on a stage greeting the audience, sitting at his sides are two hurdy-gurdy players, one on a box labeled "Money Box" and the other on a box labeled "Quack Medicine." The stage projects from the back or side of a carriage with two panels that open to the right and left, each with two scenes, on the left, "shooting dint at yo inocent" (King George IV spraying Caroline) and "a bit of fun or a scene at Manchester!!!" (cavalry using swords to cut their way through a mob), on the right, "bank restrictions" (four people hanging from a gallows) and "Kinglike amusement" (the King(?) and bishop drinking). Includes lengthy verse which alludes to the trial of Caroline."--Library of Congress online catalog

Provenance: Sold by London's Dulau and Company to the New York City bookseller Ernest R. Gee in 1928. Earlier ownership by W.E. Gladstone is suggested by a manuscript note from Dulau formerly laid into the front the first volume (now in the object file), which states that "These came from the Gladstone Library at Court Hey, Broad Green. The manuscript notes written below the caricatures are in the handwriting of W.E. Gladstone." William Reese Company; February 2024.
