Posting in Ireland. Forward immediately your Honour; But sure a'nt I waiting for the Girl with the Poker just to give this Mare a burn your Honour, 'tis just to make her start your Honour.
[after James Gillray.]
London. Published by John Miller, Bridge Street & W. Blackwood, Edinburgh. [n.d. c.1824]
Fine hand-coloured etching, sheet 290 x 350mm (11½ x 13¾"). Trimmed within plate three sides except bottom. Creasing where previously folded. Small hole in fold. Transferance in publication area.
A scene by James Gillray satirising the coaching prints of Charles Loraine Smith (1751-1835). A dilapidated post-chaise with a thatched roof stands outside a ramshackle inn. The emaciated horses refuse to move despite being whipped. A boy raises a pitchfork to strike the beasts and a bare-footed woman approaches with a huge red-hot poker. After Gillray’s death, Miller and his Edinburgh partner William Blackwood issued a major nine-volume posthumous edition, 'The Caricatures of Gillray' (1824–27). Unusually, they created new engravings rather than reusing Gillray’s original copper plates. Buyers could also choose from several levels of hand-coloring, from simple washes to more elaborate work.
See BM Satires 10478.
