Devil Charles Fox angel British political satire cartoon c1780 engraved print

Original 18th century copper engraved print.

"The Fox in the Horrors, A Vision".

Note the devil figures, one at bottom right behind a chair reaching into a bag of presumably gold coins.

An early use of word balloons within a cartoon image!

Print mounted long ago to a large backing sheet once within a scrapbook.

Pictures capture condition and print well.

Engraved print measures c.6 1/2“H x 4“ W. 

Backing sheet is large with margins that allow print to be framed. On reverse are remnants of old text scraps from either a newspaper or periodical of the era.

A google search of the image will likely bring up the context and background that helps unlock what is being represented.

Unique and scarce survival.
