I specialise in affordable original artworks - mainly traditional watercolours and oil paintings but I also have a range of contemporary artworks including limited edition lithographic prints. I also stock a limited selection of antiques and collectables, including treen, ceramics and glass. I have now opened a large showroom at Wallingford Arcade, in Wallingford between Reading and Oxford, but I also trade online. My website, www.artandstuffgallery.com has a gallery section with several mini-galleries where my items are displayed, including more contemporary items not shown on LoveAntiques.

Description
A satirical cartoon from the age of William IV (1830-1837). Early in his reign, William Iv simplified the uniforms of regiments. The helpful explanation verso on the British Museum label states that the king is shown as Neptune enthroned on a barrel while sailors strip the gold trimmings from the Tenth Hussars, shaving their beards as well as symbolic of putting them in their place!
This is a hand-coloured etching by Henry Heath (active 1824-1840).
