An Illustrious Character, 1 November 1802

 Item — Box: LF104/1 Box 1
Reference code: LF104/1/51A

Scope and Contents

Created by James Gillray. A bust portrait of the Duke of Clarence in profile to the left. He wears powdered hair with small tail, a cylindrical hat, high stock with a shirt-frill. He is caricatured, with heavy jowl, protruding lips, and small slanting eye: the manner, that of realistic, even suave, portraiture, makes the caricature more cruel.
