- Abstract
-
"Majocchi stands shoulder deep in a transparent jar, inscribed 'Urinal', his feet resting on a sealed green bag, 'The Green Bag' (see British Museum Satires No. 13735), in front of which is a leech, 'Horse Leech', with Leach's head, see British Museum Satires No. 13740. Majocchi stares at the spectator, shouting: "Signior - "Non mi recordo" [see British Museum Satires No. 13827]. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 13857."--British Museum online catalogue

Title etched below image.
Mounted to 58 x 39 cm.
Mounted on leaf 55 in volume 1 of the W.E. Gladstone collection of caricatures and broadsides surrounding the "Queen Caroline Affair."
Typed extract of three lines from the British Museum catalogue description is pasted beneath print. - 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.
