[The Return from the Continent, or, the Family puzzled.]
Phillips, fec.
Pub.d by Tho.s McLean, 26 Haymarket, Aug.t 1st 1835.
Etching with fine hand colour. Sheet 215 x 325mm (8½ x 12¾"). Trimmed to printed border, losing title, laid on album paper.
A stout lady pours tea on to a plate, missing the cup, in her amused astonishment at the appearance of her very fat and jovial husband who sits opposite her, wearing a hat burlesquing the French fashion, coat open over a wide expanse of horizontally striped waistcoat, and plain white trousers. The husband has obviously taken on too many French airs. The satire was originally published by George Humphrey in 1827. This reissue comes from 'Cruikshankiana, an Assemblage of the Most Celebrated Works of George Cruikshank'.
See BM Satires 15465 for the first issue.
