A Daisy Cutter with his Varieties (Proof plate of caricature).
London: W. Dickinson, 1791. Proof plate. Print. Proof plate of a caricature of a man riding a horse, his hat flying off, and the horse's head positioned so he cannot see the pig sleeping on the road directly in front of him. A phrase in Latin below the title, "Ingrediturq Solo & Caput Inter Nubila Condit." roughly translates to 'walks on the ground and head in the clouds'.

William Dickinson (1746-1823) was a London based stipple and mezzotint engraver of caricatures and portraits. Engraved by Maddox without his name printed at the base where it appeared in later printings.
