Two hand-coloured etchings printed on a single sheet 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 1772 and 1773.
Written on the bottom of a copy Sr Bibo Bulky in the Brooklyn Museum is ‘L North Wine Duties’ suggesting the figure is a caricature of Frederick North, Prime Minister of Great Britain (1770-1782). Lord North repealed most of the Townshend Act taxes on the American colonies, with the exception of duties on tobacco, wine, sugar, and molasses.
