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.?
