Each is vibrantly hand-watercolored and measure approx. 10 x 14".The artists are Cruickshank, Walker, Johnson, Sweeting and others. The lampooning is dead on and to the point. Napoleon, his Army, John Bull, William Pitt and a host of others are hung out to dry via rapier wit. The collection grades out as VG/EX. These enhanced engravings are the political gems pertinent to that time in history.
