Long Heads upon Change, or the return of L.d Lauderdale.
Woodward del. Cruikshank s.t.
Published by T. Tegg Cheapside London. [n.d., c.1806.]
Hand-coloured etching. Plate: 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"), with very large margins.
A comic scene showing men with very large heads buying, selling and discussing stock in the courtyard of the Royal Exchange. The scene comments on Lord Lauderdale's fruitless peace negotiations with France. 'Long Heads' developed from Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels'. According to Gulliver, Sythian women used to bind their children's heads so they would develop up rather than out, but eventually this became an inherited characteristic. The satire here is of people behaving artificially, following social convention rather than nature, like sheep.
