Richard Doyle, Punch Illustration: The Frenche Landynge.This fantastic pen and ink cartoon attributed to the great Victorian illustrator Richard Doyle (1824–1883) was probably produced for Punch around 1848, the year that the French Prince of Joinville, François d'Orléans, fled to England after the French Revolution, when his father, king Louis Philippe, was deposed and the monarchy was abolished.The cartoon is titled 'Here the Frenche are seen landynge': the beleaguered 'Prynce de Joinville' and his bedraggled troops asail the 'Brytyshe coaste', as the 'Lord Warden of Ye Cinque Portes' looks on.The style and format of this drawing—small jostling figures drawn with linear precision and the text written with pseudo-Early Modern English spelling— is similar to Doyle's series of Punch illustrations released as 'The Manners and Customs of Ye Englyshe' in 1849.We acquired this drawing with the Richard Doyle attribution.All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity and—if it is a collection artwork—its accompanying collection text or artist biography.
