Happy New Year

Coloured cartoon from the front cover of the Northern Looking Glass 9 January 1826, depicting the publisher, John Watson, toasting his readers and wishing them a happy New Year. Two unicorns join him in his celebrations, and there are two goblets, a beer bottle, a large cheese and a punch bowl on the table in front of him.
