- Abstract:
- "The 'Genius of Caricature' presides at a dinner-table at which sit 'Lilliputians', cf. British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c, all with large grotesque heads, all laughing, and raising brimming glasses to drink the toast. The chairman wears a Harlequin suit, and though differing from the 'Genius' of British Museum Satires No. 10917 both have similar gap-toothed mouths and may be intended for Tegg. He gives Success to Volume the Third. A toast-master standing beside him holds up a fringed placard or banner inscribed: Mr Tegg, M' Tegg,! You're at home to a peg, Volume two is now fairly completed, Then to Cheapside repair, Ye who spurn at dull care, And with, Wit, Fun, & Frolic be treated, With Woodward we'll laugh, And with Rowlandson quaff, And drown every Folly absurd, Here's a toast to the brim, My gay children of Whim, Success to their Volume the Third. The guests are two women and five men, all middle-aged or elderly, and two with drink-blotched profiles. On the table is a basket of (?) olives labelled Jokes. Behind the chairman is an alcove, inscribed Mirth Admit Me Of Thy Crew. The walls recede in almost symmetrical perspective and are decorated with solidly mounted prints (or the original drawings) from the magazine."--British Museum online catalogue
