All Resolutions
Who with her young made such a row,
That frighten'd Pink and Carey so,
They knew not then which way to go.

Description
Two men riding a dandy horse on a country road run into a sow and its piglets and fall over.
The catalog record for this book attributes this series of illustrations to Isaac Robert Cruikshank, citing Gumuchian (the Parisian publisher?) as the only reference. Given that the same Gumuchian also mentions 1821 as the date of the first edition, whereas the book presented here bears 1819 as its publication date; given that the record describes these illustrations as wood engravings while we incline to believe they might well be etchings, we won’t be endorsing the Cruikshank attribution for the time being.
