Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', X, 1952) Nugent (1788-1856), brother of the Duke of Buckingham, inherited his mother's Irish barony. He was an extreme Whig, and an agreeable man of literary tastes. See No. 14416. The signature is from the pornographic Fanny Hill. The manner suggests conscious imitation of Gill ray, especially in Bandetures, No. 7829. |
