Abstract: View of a procession of citizens down a city street, led by a man wearing a gown and holding a broom in his left hand [suggesting that he is perhaps Brougham] and a rolled document inscribed "The Address" in his right hand. Storefronts are seen in the background; a woman and a boy sell "prime Bergamy's" and "real British Bergamy's" out of a wheelbarrow in the foreground
Description: Title from text below image; the last three letters of "Marrow" are scored through and the letters "y" and "le" inserted above the line with a caret.
Year "1820" in publication line is lightly printed and nearly illegible; for the day designation "5th," the "th" preceeds the "5".
Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
Mounted to 39 x 58 cm.
Mounted on leaf 94 in volume 2 of the W.E. Gladstone collection of caricatures and broadsides surrounding the "Queen Caroline Affair."
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 of 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.
