Copy of a print, two figures holding bowls on outstretched arms

Possibly a copy of a bookplate, or portion of a title page.

The image is a satirical political image, possibly related to parliamentary reform. Two figures are depicted holding outstretched bowls while a wigged gentleman in a hammock above them reaches down to take from one of the bowls.

See Schaaf number 5330.
