Title from caption below image., John Phillips: Satirical printmaker, worked for many publishers from 1825. Dorothy George in the British Museum catalogue suggests that Phillips was the producer of the prints made in 1829-31 by 'A Sharpshooter' and published by S. Gans, mostly pirating William Heath; she also suggests that he was the "false Paul Pry" of 1829 who used Heath's signature of a tiny figure of John Liston. ... A trade card of 'Phillips' also at 16 Brownlow Street is presumably the same man or a member of his family (Heal,56.12)., Text below title: By-and-bye a man will go a hunting after breakfast upon his tay-kettle., and Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
