Mr Braidwood & Brothers of the Rose Vale (BM 1935,0522.13.111)
Summary
A stout man stands in profile to the right, holding up his left hand as if to address two braying asses, whose heads, with the forefeet of one, appear on the right of the design. He is fashionably dressed, wearing a round hat, sparrow-tail coat, and shoe-strings instead of buckles. He holds a slim cane. On the ass's hoofs are also bows of ribbon. Beneath the design is engraved: 'I say dont Laugh for we are Brothers' (erased in Kay). 1789
