About this Item
Plate measures 12.5 x 9 inches, preserved within a conservation mount, narrowly trimmed with loss of heading 'Tegg's caricatures No 24' above the image, but imprint intact. Original hand-coloured etched caricature. Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827) is perhaps the most well-known of the Georgian caricaturists. In this scene, a comely wench kneels at the foot of a bed, one hand holding the lid of a strong box containing her lover, the corporal, on whom she bestows a kiss before closing the lid. At the window, the head of an enraged older man, presumably her cuckolded husband, peers, scowling, over the window sill. KENT CARICATURE 19TH CENTURY PRINTS HUMOUR COLOURED KENT.
