Diminished copy of a lithograph by John (HB) Doyle, "Vacation Amusements. (No.2.) Swing, Swong!"

The original satirical lithograph was published on 14 September 1840, which means that Talbot's photograph of it must have been taken some time after that date.  

The context of John (HB) Doyle in the political satire of the day is described here.
