Sales by Auction! – or Provident Children disposing of their deceased Mother’s Effects for the Benefit of the Creditors!!
Etching with hand coloring, 1819, British Museum Satires 13229; Walpole Library N.D., 254 x 365 mm. Fine impression with fresh coloring on wove paper with good margins; a few soft vertical creases. The auctioneer here is the Prince Regent, later George IV, selling the property of his late mother, Queen Charlotte. Below the rostrum is the Duke of York and other figures are identifiable. Auctions of Queen Charlotte’s possessions actually took place. They were held at Christie’s Auction House from May to August of 1819. The print, being dated May 6, 1819, was right up to date.
