Description: A pig in a poke. Whist, whist' (Sir Joseph Mawbey, 1st Bt), by James Gillray, publisher Samuel William Fores (floruit 1841), published 1788. See source website for additional information. This set of images was gathered by User:Dcoetzee from the National Portrait Gallery, London website using a special tool. According to the NPG's website the work was published prior to 1859, and so the author is reasonably presumed dead by 1939.
