The Contractor of the Contracted of 195 more than 186.

The Contractor of the Contracted of 195 more than 186.

Pub Feb 4th 1810 by SW Fores.
Hand-coloured etching; paper watermarked: John Hall 1805. Plate 356 x 248mm (14 x 9¾"). Small repaired tear into lower right plate. Bit messy.
Curtis (left) and Perceval (right) face each other in front of the Speaker's Chair; the Speaker (Abbot) watches Curtis with quiet amusement. Curtis, dressed as a sailor, stands with his hat in his right hand, extending a huge clenched fist towards the trembling and much smaller Perceval; a bottle of 'Brandy' projects from his coat-pocket; his bottle-nose is much exaggerated. Perceval stands on the Opposition side of the House. Above his head is a placard: 'Whereas P-l and Co Bankrupts to Surender & Partnership Disolved'
BM Satires 11530.
[Ref: 52315]  £230.00
