A Welch Tandem

Gillray, James, 1756-1815 · June 21, 1801

Three brothers, with similar but identical profiles, sit squeezed together in a small rustic phaeton drawn (left to right) by three prancing goats, two being wheelers. The driver is nearest the spectator. All have leeks in their round hats; that of the driver has also the motto 'Ich dien.' On the phaeton are the initials 'WWW' and, at the back, is a large trunk. In the background is a craggy mountain on which goats are standing. A signpost (left) points to Wynnstay (BM). / These three Wynns were celebrated characters in high life in their day. The three goats refer to their Welsh parentage (Wright/Evans).
