title:
The Irish Catholic Jubilee at Dublin, or the Bulletin Express of the late Majority
date:
March 1829
description:
A Dublin street-scene with a small platform backed by a sea of heads with banners; in the foreground are figures of spectators, including a newsboy with a paper inscribed 'Sun' in his hat and a 'Sun [News]paper' under his arm. He blows through his horn the words: 'The "Sun" paper from London, in 37 hours! Glorious News, Express Extronary! Majority of 1801 in the Commons, for all the Catholics! Great News!!' The crowd receives the news with exultation, a few 'Protestants' excepted. In the foreground on the extreme right is an old man in judge's wig and gown with papers inscribed 'Norbury Puns' under his arm to show that he is Lord Norbury. He is held up on the shoulders of a man smoking a pipe, and thumbs his nose towards Sir Harcourt Lees, in top-boots, who capers frantically on the platform, waving his hat and a shillelagh. Dialogue in speech balloons. Source: George.
