H.B. [John Doyle.] A. Ducôte's Lithog.s 70 St Martin's Lane.
Published by T. McLean, 26, Haymarket, 12th Feb.y 1839.
Lithograph. Sheet 270 x 350mm (10¾ x 13¾"). Trimmed to printed border.
A satire on the political debate on the Corn Laws, with Daniel O'Connell (1775-1847) as Isaac A. Van Amburgh (1808-65, an American who developed the first trained wild animal act in modern times) feeding various big cats with the faces of politicians including Palmerston, Normanby, Lansdowne, Holland, Melbourne, Russell, Charles Poulett Thomson and Thomas Spring Rice. Outside the cage Queen Victoria looks on. John Doyle (1797-1868), worked under the pseudonym 'HB' from 1827, usually issuing one satire a month during parliamentary seasons. Doyle preserved his anonymity as 'H.B.' until 1843, when he revealed himself to Sir Robert Peel in a letter justifying his motives and principles as a cartoonist.
