Craniology. What a charming Field for Scientific observation.
[after Edward Stanley.]
[n.d. c.1825.]
Coloured lithograph on card. 196 x 252mm (7¾ x 10"). Foxing.
A man is sat down having removed his wig to reveal a large bare head; a scientist with a look of glee, stands over fingers poised to examine. From a collection of Six amateur caricatures, drawn by Edward Stanley (1779-1849), who served as Bishop of Norwich 1837-1849. At the time of publication he was rector of Alderley, Cheshire, a position he held for 32 years. This and the two other satires he produced ('Bustle’s Banquet' & 'Dinner of the Dogs') were probably published locally, accounting for the absence of these caricatures in our national collections. His authorship is only confirmed by the 1907 publication of his collected letters.
