Zustand: Very good. - A superb 11 inch high by 7-3/4 inch wide color woodcut on a 21-1/4 inch high by 15-3/4 inch wide sheet of fine creamy paper. The image depicts Tony Weller, the father of Sam Weller who works for Mr. Pickwick in Dicken's "Pickwick Papers". A large fat man, Tony Weller is a coachman here attired in 18th or early 19th century garb, with a long open black coat exposing a wool scarf over a checkered shirt and tight pants over which are drawn black turned-down boots. A black hat adorns his jolly-looking coachman's head and a thin long-stemmed pipe with a diminutive bowl nearly disappears in his extended large beefy hand. The image is very much reminiscent of 19th-century caricature. Signed and dated in pencil by the artist under the image at right: "Philip Reed 1936". Brown paper tape is mounted from the verso along the top edge of the print and there is a tiny tear to the left edge near the top, all of which can be easily matted out. A very attractive broadside print.
