Caudle has been to Greenwich Fair. #8 in the "Caudle's Offences & Mrs. Caudle's Lessons" series
-
First edition. An attractive, hand coloured lithograph which followed the wave of popularity of Douglas Jerrold's "Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures" which ran in Punch in 1845. The husband is being nagged by his wife, who says that she would like to have been behind him at Greenwich Fair. He looks over his shoulder, knowing that is coat is torn from the bottom to the top. Other publishers, such as Spooner, adopted the character of the hen pecked husband and his wife. the artist is anonymous here, which is not unusual for Spooner's output in this period. The lithograph was printed by Kohler and L'Enfant. Attractively framed under a triple pass partout with hand inked decoration to the top layer. Under glass in a wooden marbled effect frame. The frame has a touch of bumping / edgewear, otherwise excellent. The caricature itself is in very good condition, with a touch of light foxing only. A little discolouration to the burgundy portion of the passe partout. (This could be cleaned if removed from frame temporarily). Image size 30cm x 23.5cm. Frame size is 47cm x 39cm. .
