One hundred fifty claimants to the throne of Great Britain
Description:
Caption title., Letterpress text discussing the line of succession above an etched geneological chart (plate mark 27.9 x 26.5 cm) which illustrates the line of succession, following the reign of George IV, probably published in response to the death of Princess Charlotte in 1817 and before the birth of Victoria in 1819. However, the text also references "the present Princess of Wales", but further evidence that this was issued in response to her death is the dark black border around her name., and Imprint etched at top of chart. Date from letterpress: "The following is a brief sketch. A.D. 1818."

"Scene at the corner of a street leading to Cavendish Square, which is indicated by the equestrian statue of the Duke of Cumberland (erected 1770), immediately outside a ground-floor window at the corner of 'Union Street'. A handsome well-dressed woman holding up a parasol, raises her skirt, displaying her leg above the knee, at the same time so stepping on a loose paving-stone that a shower of mud is directed against a footman who is leering up at her through the bars protecting a basement window. An elderly man stares from the window above."--British Museum online catalogue

"A dandy, much burlesqued, stands full-face, his head, which has a bird-like profile, turned to the left; his hair is brushed up at the back behind his hat to resemble the tail-feathers of a cock. He wears puffed-out breeches and top-boots with enormous spurs, and holds an umbrella (see No. 13060). A narrow coat-tail hangs between his stick-like legs. His thin arms in tight sleeves project awkwardly, and he wears short yellow (chicken-skin) gloves; a broad patterned strip hangs from his fob, with seals and watch-key. A sign-post among shrubs points 'To Chalk Farm' [Hampstead]. The dome of St. Paul's (left) appears in the distance, and in the middle distance (right) are new suburban houses."--British Museum online catalogue
