MULREADY CARICATURES 1840 unused caricature by an unknown publisher, directly parodying the Mulready design but with some additions such as a balloon at top-right inscribed "green" (referring to Charles Green, 1785-1870, a famous balloonist); some faint toning and negligible vertical fold but still very attractive and a major new discovery. Thought to be the only known unused example. A wonderful exhibition item. Photo Estimate £ 1,000-1,200
