The macaroni duelists

Mansergh St George, Richard St George, after

Hand-coloured etching from a composite album of 97 folios (147 prints) of comic illustrations under the title Darly's Comic Prints of Characters, Caricatures, Macaronies &c., published by Mary and Matthew Darly in London in 1772, after a design by Richard St George Mansergh St George (c. 1750-1789). The farcical scene may have indeed been witnessed by the Mansergh St George, who was known to have engaged in several duels himself.
