title:
A Companion to the Q---ns Ass in a Band-Box
date:
May 1821
description:
A zebra with a man's head stands in an oval bandbox full of papers. The head is allegedly Lord Conyngham. The creature is thin and scraggy, with longer ears like an ass. On it sits Lord Francis Conyngham wearing a red jacket with blue collar and cuffs, and holding a paper. The majority of the rider's jacket is covered by a large box, torn to show fur, saying "Lady Elizabeth's muff box". The zebra's neck is encircled by necklaces of jewels and a hand from the right margin holds out a plate of jewels close to its mouth. In the background is a cottage with a group of stag, doe and fawn as well as Windsor Castle. Source: George.
