The Trollope Family, from a sketch taken from life, made in Cincinnati in 1829.
1832
Print satirizing Mrs. Trollope, the author of "Domestic manners of the Americans," a book which comments on American customs. Mrs. Trollope sits on the floor, holding an open book on her lap, with two girls beside her. The artist Auguste Hervieu paints a scene on a large canvas, possibly his lost painting of Lafayette landing in Cincinnati, while a man poses on a sawhorse holding a sword. Two men look on from the right, and a bulldog sits in the left foreground. This print is possibly the only depiction of Auguste Hervieu.
