About the Item

A rare, extensively hand-colored impression of this charming British satirical image. London: 1830. Lithograph with hand coloring in watercolor on cream wove paper, 12 1/4 x 9 5/16 inches (312 x 235 mm), full margins. In good condition with some light areas of minor foxing throughout. Hand coloring is extensive and vibrant. An ass wears his Lord Mayor's gown and chain over court dress, with big bows on his shoulders.

An uncolored impression of this work may be found in the permanent collection of the British Museum, accession No. 16302. Item number: 1891
