Coloured etching. Sheet 235 x 310mm (9¼ x 12¼").
A caricature miscellany with fifteen vignettes: a Chinese scene; above, two squinting men, one asking 'Who are you Squinting at Mister Swivel Eye?', an (?) Italian woman at a window, cooks fighting; below, 'The whispering Gallery!', a rowdy group of spectators watching a performance, including a sweep and a woman with a black eye. At upper left, 'taking pot luck', a man with a flower pot on his head, a shelf above having broken; below, 'Slave trade', a black servant woman scrubbing a step; a black minstrel; a man in a cart pulled by a dog; 'Betting the long odds', a short man approaching a tall man with a whip at a racecourse. At upper right, 'the last token!!', a sailor on shore, having lopped of his pigtail, offers it to a weeping woman; devils boxing; a black man running from a gigantic tiger; an old woman with patterns and broomstick; a quayside encounter between three (?)Chinese and two black people.
