| Notes: | Unlike most caricatures of the time, it is not a good likeness of Daniel O'Connell (1775-1847). Perhpas it is not meant to represent O'Connell, but to show instead "the deluded Irish peasant" who fell for his "propaganda". Physical description: 1 drawing : pencil ; 14.4 x 22.3 cm.. more |
