Fashion is But One Creature Apeing Another.
Alfred Crowquill - Glypho [after Alfred Henry Forrester].
[n.d., 1844.]
Scarce electrotype. Printed area 120 x 105mm (4¾ x 4¼"). Spotting.
A monkey wearing a cap and a coat with fur collar and cuff, smoking a pipe at a window. "Fashion is but One Creature Apeing Another" Crowquill affirmed in this hilarious send-up of the 19th century British gentleman caricature. Patented in 1842, a glyphograph is a relief printing block, created by drawing through a compostion on a metal plate, and making an electrotype of the result.
