A single sheet, with a usual torn left edge, measuring 21.5 cm x 13.5 cm. A rebus is a mode of expressing words and phrases by pictures of objects that resemble those words, or the syllables of which they are composed. The images used here do not bear the "G Ck" with which George Cruikshank signed his images. However, subsequent printers of fly sheets or lottery puffs, like this one, did re-use images without attribution. Condition very good.-
