A Frog he would a wooing go...
G Dawes del. [n.d, c. 1830.] Rare lithograph, with fine hand colour. Sheet: 360 x 245mm (14 x 9½"). A few marks. A series of six vignettes telling the story of an anthropomorphic frog, based on a folk song that can be traced back to the Scots 'The Frog cam to the Myl dur' in 1548. The frog courts a mouse, but at the wedding the rodents are killed by cats, but frog escapes, only to be eaten by a duck.
