Question
I'm looking for a caricature titled something like "Hanging A Piper". It looks like something drawn by an early English caricaturist, like Hogarth, Rowlandson or Cruikshank. Do you know where I might find more information on this subject?
Thank you,
Josh Loh

F.D. Klingender (ed.)
An Introduction to Caricature
Lionel Labourne
English Caricature 1620 to the Present: Caricaturists
and Satirists, Their Art, Their Purpose and Influence

Best wishes, sincerely,
