Spotprent met Sir Robert Peel als goochelaar Possibly 1845 - 1846

This satirical print by John Doyle, possibly from 1845-1846, depicts Sir Robert Peel performing a magic trick. The print, titled "Political Mysteriuns," shows Peel in a theatrical pose, surrounded by an audience of politicians. Doyle’s caricature satirizes the political scene of 19th-century England, using humor and exaggeration to comment on the shifting power dynamics and the complexities of government. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Doyle’s sharp wit and keen observation of the political landscape.
