The York magician transforming a foot-boy to a captain [graphic].Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[25 February 1809]eng"The Duke of York with a beard and dressed as a magician, in a fur cap and long gown (on which is a Garter star), stands in profile to the right holding out a wand inscribed 'Petticoat Influence'. Beneath the wand stands a young man dressed as an officer, wearing cocked hat, gorget, and sash. Smoke or cloud rises from his feet and ascends in two columns above his head. The Duke says: "By the Mystery of my Art, no more be a Foot-boy-but rise a Captain". The young man, much surprised, says: "Bless me how soon a foot-boy is turned to a Gentleman"."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Artist identified as Woodward in the British Museum online catalogue.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Mounted on verso of leaf 5 of volume 10 of 14 volumes.
