Mrs. Caudles Illustrated Curtain Lectures No.4 "You to go to Greenwich Fair, and race up and down the hill, If I were you I should hide my head under the clothes, and be ashamed of it!"
Published by Preston, 31 Burlington Arcade [c.1850]
Lithograph printed in brown ink with hand-colouring and gum arabic. Sheet 190 x 270mm (7½ x 10½").
Mrs Caudle was the most famous creation of the playwright and journalist Douglas William Jerrold (1803-1857). 'Mrs Caudle's Curtain Lectures were serialized in 'Punch' in 1845, and Thackeray wrote that ‘Almost all the events and perplexities of Cockney domestic economy pass before her’, wrote Thackeray of the character, ‘and … a student in the twentieth century may get out of her lectures as accurate pictures of London life as we can get out of the pictures of Hogarth’ (W. M. Thackeray, Contributions to the ‘Morning Chronicle’, ed. G. N. Ray, 1955, 94). This print is probably a separately-issued copy sold at Burlington Arcade, which runs alongside Burlington House between Piccadilly and Burlington Gardens.
