I am impressed you found something like that!
That caricature is ... wild! Looks like that was made in 1830, and this exhibition flyer in 1845. Imma bet the illustration was repurposed for this flyer without knowledge or permission. Especially since the 1830 illustration was from London, and the 1845 flyer seems to be from NY.
I wasn’t even looking for it, I was just curious about laughing gas and I ran right into it! It was very surprising.
It’s also funny to think that it looks so bad in the 1845 one because it’s not a very good reproduction of the printing hardware (printing block or whatever), too.
