The Tables Turned or The Lie circumstantial.
Pub.d by T. Taplain Upper Thames St London
Etching with hand-colouring, sheet 240 x 350mm (9½ x 13¾"). Trimmed inside platemark; tear on left.
Duel between Charles Vane, third marquess of Londonderry (1778-1854) and Ensign Battier. Battier's pistol misfired and he declined the offer of another shot and left. He was later horsewhipped by Londonderry's second, Sir Henry Hardinge. In this image Londonderry (far left) nonchalantly awaits the second shot from Battier, which Hardinge (centre, in brown coat) invites. Battier, next to Hardinge, drops his pistol rather than taking the shot, to the disbelief of his second Lt.-Col. Weston (right). A surgeon in the background observes 'I see they will not want me'.

The Genius of Caricature, and his Friends, celebrating the completion of the Second Volume of the Caricature Magazine, in the Temple of Mirth
Woodward delt [in image lower left]
London Pubd July 2d 1808 by Tho.s Tegg 111 Cheapside
Fine etching with hand-colouring, sheet 285 x 380mm (11¼ x 15"). Trimmed within plate and tipped into album sheet
The 'Genius of Caricature' presides over a dinner table in the 'Temple of Mirth', which is adorned with caricatures from the 'Caricature Magazine' by Thomas Rowlandson and others on the walls, and folio volumes of the magazine. A toast-master holds a placard inscribed with verses in praise of the 'Caricature Magazine' and its artists (naming Rowlandson and the designer of this print, George Moutard Woodward). Woodward (1760?-1809) was a prolific artist who designed 525 prints between 1790 and his death in 1809. Of orthodox pro-government and anti-French political outlook, Woodward's forte was social satire- in this field his reputation between 1807 and 1809 exceeded that even of Rowlandson (see how his name is mentioned before Rowlandson's and underlined in the placard verses here). While his reputation has since been eclipsed, Henry Angelo, whose 'Reminisces' are the main source of biographical information on Woodward, claimed that if Woodward had learned to draw (he was self-taught) and had been more temperate in his habits (it is reported that he kept low company and drank immoderately), he might have rivalled Hogarth. However, he met an inglorious end, dying in the Brown Bear tavern (according to Angelo with a glass of brandy in his hand) and was buried at the expense of his landlord.

[Monogram of Paul Pry, pseudonym of William Heath] esq.
Pub by T. McLean 26 Haymarket. caricatures daily published [n.d., c.1829].
Etching with fine hand colour. 370 x 260mm (14½ x 10¼"). Small margins.
Satire commenting on Wellington's relationships with cousins Sarah Villiers, Countess of Jersey and Harriet Arbuthnot. Lady Villiers was often ridiculed for 'affecting great intimacy with the Duke'. Harriet Arbuthnot and her husband Charles however, did have a close relationship with Wellington who promoted Charles Arbuthnot from the Department of Woods and Trees to Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Of interest is the extra text around the top of the plate, issuing for the small figure of Paul Pry: 'I'm sorry to intrude but some dirty Rogue has lately been copying my caricatures- robbing us of our ideas & just profit- may I ask of my Friends not to purchase unless they see the Publisher T. McLeans name at the bottom, all others are copies P. Pry'. This piracy led Heath to drop Pry by 1830.
