DUCROW, Andrew (1793 – 1842). Ducrow’s Ponies at Breakfast. Early nineteenth century paper-covered box with a colored lithograph affixed to the lid picturing two ponies dressed in white bibs, one with a powdered wig and hat, the other with a frilled white bonnet, each at a separate breakfast table. A Grimaldi-like clown looks on from the right, holding a mirror in his hands, with the trainer, presumably Ducrow, holding a long-handled whip, standing at the right. 5 x 2 5/8 x 1”. Rubbing to corners of box, but very good overall. Toole Stott Circus 9919, “I have only seen the empty box. It probably contained cards … it must be extremely rare.”
