| "Capsize -- To Upset or Turn Over Anything" Eighteenth Century The George Speaight Archive The Victoria & Albert Museum |
This comic illustration from the Eighteenth Century is entitled “Capsize: - To Upset or Turn Over Anything.”
Now part of the George Speaight Archive at the V&A, this illustration depicts a fit-up which has been overturned as the puppeteer is being attacked by a clearly disgruntled audience member.
The following caption accompanies the scene:
'There, I told you I'de ge you von/ if I cotebed you making game/ o'me agin'
'Vy they ar'always taking us off'
I’m not sure what this all means exactly, but we get the gist of it.
