A Hint to the Blind and Foolish – or the Bourbon Dynasty in Danger!!
Etching with hand coloring, 1823, British Museum Satires 14510; Walpole Library N.D., 247 x 351 mm. Fine impression with fresh, bright coloring on Whatman wove paper with good margins; repaired tear in lower left corner and some wrinkling at the left edge. The print refers to Louis XVIII of France, who is pictured blindfolded on a wheeled throne careening down a sliding slope yelling for war with Spain. Figures of his beheaded brother, Louis XVI, and of Napoléon warn him, and a clawed guillotine awaits him. In the background, the dissenting figure of Manuel is held by soldiers at the gate of the Chamber of Deputies. Published March 10, 1823 by John Fairburn, Broadway, Ludgate Hill, London.
