This print pokes fun at politics and brewers in 19th-century London. T. Palser made it and called it *A Butt for the Brewers or the Bench Candidate giving instructions to his Bill Sticker*. Published in London, the image mocks a candidate who tells workers how to post his signs. It shows sharp satire aimed at local power struggles. Look up Palser, T.
