About this work

A lithographic caricature shows a pantaloon figure leaning on a cane and a rotund clown in striped costume and a crown, clutching his hand as if burned. A masked harlequin figure holds a stick labeled Young Ireland, and a dropped cane is labeled Federalism. The print, attributed to John Doyle and dated 1844-1847, uses stage clown imagery to comment on Irish politics.
