Firmato
London: Thomas McLean, 1841. Original B&W lithograph on wove paper. 17 × 11.5 inches. Good. Minor spots of foxing in the blank areas surrounding the main figure. Signed in the plate with the initials HB. This 1841 cartoon satirizes the real-life incidents involving Edward Jones, a teenage intruder who famously broke into Buckingham Palace multiple times in the early 1840s. The cartoon humorously depicts Lord Melbourne pondering the boy's success in infiltrating the palace, an act that had both embarrassed and captivated the British public. John Doyle, known by the pen name H. B. was an Irish political cartoonist, caricaturist, painter and lithographer. .
