Etching from a composite album of 97 folios (147 prints) of comic illustrations under the title Darly's Comic Prints of Characters, Caricatures, Macaronies &c., published by Mary and Matthew Darly in London in 1778. The rebus (hieroglyphic letter) was a popular device in the late 18th century and the Darlys used this picture puzzles to mask biting political satire.
