Drawn by William Heath (1795 to 1840), his pseudonym ‘Paul Pry'. . "William Heath was a caricaturist and illustrator and was predominately occupied with the illustration of books, mostly on military themes. However, with the decline in demand for such publications in the 1820s Heath began to once again produce satirical caricatures, a talent for which he acquired in his youth, publishing his first satirical prints in 1809 at the age of only fourteen. Heath brilliantly satirized contemporary British political figures, utilizing extreme satire to characterize how little each opposing group understands each other."
