Doyle, John (1797-1868); HB — (Lithograph) Dry Nurses (Hb Sketches No. 551)
Prima edizione
Firmato
London: Thomas McLean, 1838. Original B&W lithograph on wove paper. 17 × 11.5 inches. Good. Significant water staining in the upper left area; minor foxing; a small loss in the bottom left corner. Signed in the plate with the initials HB. This 1838 cartoon is a satire on political patronage and overprotection, likely referencing factions within Parliament who were seen as coddled or dependent on senior figures symbolized here by the nursemaids. The "child" may represent a vulnerable or politically inept figure being overprotected by party elders, while opponents ridicule and provoke him. John Doyle, known by the pen name H. B. was an Irish political cartoonist, caricaturist, painter and lithographer. .
