“When shall we three meet again?”

description below

Two asses on a bare patch of ground, with the first line of Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ below. The play begins with three witches in a storm deciding when to meet next (‘When the hurlyburly’s done, / When the battle’s lost and won’). That there are only two asses in this parody presumably means that the dedicatee of the print, whose name is withheld, is the third.

  • Printmaker: Grant, C. J. (Charles Jameson), active 1830-1852, printmaker.
  • Title: “When shall we three meet again?” [graphic] : Dedicated to – / C.J.G.
  • Publication: [London?] : [G.S. Tregear?], [approximately 1830?]
