Print depicting Charles Mathews as 7 of his characters: Sir Harry Skelter, Scully, Mr. Gibletts, Eneas Stirturtle, Popper, Mrs. Georgina Gritts and Mr. Safsafras. The print on the verso has been attributed to George Cruikshank but the initials WH on the front possibly suggest the caricaturist William Heath.
