Diminished copy of a lithograph by John (HB) Doyle, "A Lesson in Elephant Riding!"
Attributed to: William Henry Fox Talbot
The original satirical lithograph was published 14 May 1844, which means that Talbot's photograph of it must have been taken some time after that date. Some of the well-known political figures of the day represented in the lithograph include Sir Henry Harding and the Duke of Wellington.
