How ar' ye off for Fish! a_a_ Soal _ Whiting _ Haddock _ Skait _a_a
Drawn by M.E. [Egerton] Eng.d by Geo. Hunt.
Pub. by Geo. Hunt, 18, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden [n.d., c.1825.]
Aquatint with fine hand colour. Sheet 310 x 240mm (12¼ x 9½"). Trimmed within plate.
A fish-faced man looks at a menu in a restaurant. This satire is an early example of product placement: on the wall behind is an advert for 'Charles Wright's Champagne', one of several references to the brand found in Hunt's satires. The cheapness of the champagne led critics to allege that it was not of French origin, causing Wright to sue. The first state: Thomas Mclean reissued this plate in 1827.
