Anonymous, 18th century

Noddle-island. or how. are we decieved. Satirical print. 1776. Published by Matthew Darly. A lady (three-quarter length) on whose grotesquely extended coiffure military operations are proceeding. At the top of her pyramid of hair soldiers fire cannon from a rectangular fort (l.) which appears to be American at other soldiers firing cannon from an adjacent mound (r.) composed of ringlets of hair. Two immense flags flying from the fort bear, one a crocodile, the other a cross-bow and arrows; the flags of their opponents, the English, are decorated one with an ass, the other with a fool's cap and bells. Satires on the evacuation of Boston by Howe, 17 Mar. 1776. Etching, hand-coloured, 25.0 x 17.0 cm. J,5.119.
