London: Thomas McLean, 1839. Original B&W lithograph on wove paper. 17 × 11.5 inches. Good. Light foxing throughout; some toning around the edges and a faint water stain near the bottom left corner. Signed in the plate with the initials HB. This 1839 cartoon evokes stoic virtue and resistance to corruption, commonly used metaphors in political satire of the period.
