Creator/production credits

Possibly by the same "W.W." who engraved a three-quarter length portrait of "Mr W.G. Ross in the character of Mr Johnson" not later than 1871, though the form of the W is there different. Wakley, described here as "M.P.", was a member of parliament between 1835 and 1852. William Gribbon Ross (d. 1876) was a comic actor and performer of songs most active in the 1840s and 1850s
