Black Brown & Fair.You tell me dear Girl, that I'm given to rove, That I sport with each lass on the green, that I join in the dance and sing sonnets of Love...
Design'd by Sir E. Bunbury. Rowlandson sculp.
London Pub. May 6 -1807 by T.Tegg III Cheapside.
Hand coloured etching 280 x 210mm (11 x 8¼"). Some slight staining.
A satirical songsheet with a scene at Wapping docks. The men, a Chinese, a Dutchman with a long pipe and a dog, and a lean foppish Frenchman, stand on the pavement gazing up at four smiling women, one of whom is black, leaning out a window. A black sailor walks inside, his arm round the waist of another girl. The BM states there was no ‘Sir E. Bunbury’, instead suggesting it was drawn by Henry Bunbury.
BM Satires 10925.
