The King’s Dwarf plays Gulliver a Trick

SAMUEL WILLIAM FORES (ca. 1761-1838) (editor)

Drinking from Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, a small Napoleon is stuffed inside a bone, a plot that seems to be inspired by another print by Gillray but in a Spanish key.

England, October 18, 1803.

Etching and illuminated aquatint on vellum paper.

Good state of preservation.
