[Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland] A Portrait.
[by Thomas Rowlandson]
Pub.d January 10th 1812 by H Humphrey 27 St James's Street.
Coloured etching. Sheet 265 x 215mm (10½ x 8½"). Trimmed within plate.
A caricature portrait of Ernest Augustus (1771-1851), walking in Kew (the pagoda in the background) wearing the so-called Windsor uniform, a high-collared blue coat with red facings, with a star. He looks through a spy-glass. This print is one of a set of four caricatures of Regency swells published by Hannah Humphries in 1812. It seems that Rowlandson took over the job after James Gillray had gone insane in 1811. A sketch by Rowlandson (with this figure but in a crowded interior, featuring the Prince Regent after Gillray) is in the BM (1856,0712.921).
