Rigdum Funnidos was the pen name of George Cruikshank, the famous caricaturist. This note, signed by the fictitious Rigdum Funibus, is probably a play on that name.
This note is almost identical in design to the previous lot, but of vastly inferior print quality, suggesting that it was copied and adjusted.
