[A Frog he would a wooing go] Pray Mr.s Mouse will you give us some beer, / That Froggy and I may make good cheer/ &c &c.

E. Hull[?]
[n.d, c. 1830.]
Rare lithograph. Sheet: 195 x 245mm (7¾ x 9½"). Slight stain on left.
A scene from 'A Frog he would a wooing go', 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.
