The Levee, or the Maecenas of Scrubs and Scaramouches. Attic Miscellany.
Drawn by Collings. Etch'd by Barlow.
Published as the Act directs, by Bentley & C° June Ist 1791.
Etching. 195 x 235mm (7¾ x 9¼"). Original binding folds.
A boxing satire. A group of parasitic followers surround Richard Barry (1769-1793), 7th Earl of Barrymore, including boxers, jockeys, cock-fighters and a man resembling the Prince of Wales. On the back wall are paintings of 'Scrub' (after his nickname 'Lord Scrub), racing, cockfighting and a pierrot and harlequin. On the floor is an open book: 'New Pantomime by Bar & Co'. Despite being painted at an early age as an angelic Cupid by Richard Cosway, Barry found infamy as a rake, beginning at school at Eton, from where he would hire cabs to London to visit prostitutes. The Prince of Wales nicknamed him 'Hellgate'. He married the daughter of a sedan chair man: after he accidently killed himself with his own musket aged 23, she turned to prostitution and bare-knuckle boxing before becoming a matron of the female prisoners at the Tothill Fields Bridewell.

L'Eclipse. Dediée aux Astronomes, et aux Philosophes du dixhuitieme Steele par VA.
Etch'd by J. Barlow.
Publish'd as the Act directs, Feb.y 20, 1787, by H. Humphrey No 51, New Bond Street.
Rare etching with fine hand colour. 300 x 215mm (12 x 8½"). Mounted in album paper.
A woman's head, topped with a conical hat trimmed with a monstrous arrangement of feathers, peers over a huge fur muff. Eclipses were in the news in 1787 because there were seven full eclipses of the sun and moon, the maximum number possible, which usually happens once every 130 years. A note on the British Museum's example of this print (from the Banks Collection) ascribes it to a Miss V. Aynscombe.
BM Satires 7248. The three examples in the BM are all uncoloured.
