![[Warren Hastings] Market Day.](jpegs/61038.jpg)
[Warren Hastings] Market Day. ''Every Man has his Price''. Sir R.t Walpole. Sic itur ad astra.
[by James Gillray.]
Pubd May 2.d 1788. by S. W. Fores No. 3 Piccadilly.
Scarce etching, Sheet 320 x 445mm (12½ x 17½"). Trimmed to printed border on three sides, three small tears taped.
A satire of the House of Lords as cattle at Smithfield Market, the majority wanting to follow Warren Hastings, who is dressed as a butcher but wearing a turban, riding a nag (the horse of Hanover) and carrying off a calf with the head of George III, its forelegs tied together. Pitt and Dundas sit on a balcony unconcerned, drinking and smoking; Fox, Burke, and Sheridan, dressed as watchmen, topple off a watchman's box on which they have climbed to evade the cattle. At the front stands Edward Thurlow, Lord Chancellor, a fervent Hastings supporter. The suggestion is that the Lords were supporting Hastings in his impeachment trial for financial gain.

The Kettle hooting the Porridge-Pot.

Pubd. July 23d 1782 by P. J. Leatherhead.
Etching with colour, added by hand, but later, Sheet 240 x 330mm, 9½ x 13". Trimmed.
Political satire: William Petty, 2nd Earl of Shelburne (1737 - 1805) (left), as the proverbial kettle, looks at Charles James Fox (1749 - 1806) (right), the (porridge) pot, who is running away down a road in a landscape. Shelburne has a complacent smile and holds out his hands, pointing towards Fox; his left foot is on the neck of a goose, which lies on its back on the ground. He is saying, 'Oh do but look how black his Arse is!' Fox (right) with the head of a fox, his body a large circular pot, blackened underneath, is running away with an alarmed expression, his hands held up, his tongue hanging out. In the centre of the design, between the two figures is a signpost, its arm, pointing to the right, forms into a human hand holding a die in its fingers, pointing in the direction in which Fox is running. The arm of the post is inscribed 'TO BROOKS'S'; from it hangs a rope with a noose at the end of it. On the post hangs a sign inscribed 'To be Lett- either as a Gibbet or Direction Post'. Fox, destitute on leaving office, is running off to his gambling associates at Brooks's club in St. James's Street for his support, while, politically speaking, Shelburne is depicted as equally black. Fox's geese, in caricature, usually represents the electors of Westminster. By James Gillray (1756 - 1815). George suggests that the publisher 'Leatherhead' is fictitious. This is the only satire in the BM catalogue on which that name appears.

Etching with aquatint, sheet 245 x 355mm (9¾ x 14") Trimmed within plate/to plate on three sides.
Francis Russell, 5th Duke of Bedford (1765 – 1802), as a farmer, scatters guineas from a pouch slung to his shoulder. As he sows the tips of bonnets-rouges and spikes sprout up; behind him they progressively emerge more completely, and appear as little Jacobins, a raised dagger in each hand, crowding in close ranks towards the horizon, where they hail (or are smitten by) thunderbolts which dart from clouds in the upper left corner of the design and explode on reaching the ground. The soil is prepared by Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) and James Maitland, 8th Earl of Lauderdale (1759-1839): a bull (John Bull) is harnessed to a plough which is guided by Sheridan wearing a bonnet-rouge and Lauderdale raises a whip to flog the weary bull.. Fox's smiling face is the centre of a sun which issues from clouds and shines on Bedford. Bedford was an ardent supporter of Fox and a friend of Lauderdale; for his lavish expenditure for party purposes. Bedford was a great agriculturist and an original member of the Board of Agriculture

Coloured etching. 355 x 250mm (14 x 9¾") very large margins.
A caricature of a Scot misunderstanding the use of a privy, with his kilt around his waist and his legs down different holes. The thistle and the crown suggests that he is a Jacobite. This example comes from Henry George Bohn's collected edition of Gillray's satires. This is one of the 'Suppressed Plates', which are particularly hard to find in their original printings.

A corpulent man kneels before an equally fat woman, paying court.

Sir George Augustus William Shuckburgh-Evelyn (1751-1804), M.P. for Warwickshire, in the white cap and robe with tricolour border (not obvious in this uncoloured impression) of a Judge of the High Court. The cushioned bench behind indicates the setting as the House of Commons. He never took part in debates, but by voting in the minority against the 'Assessed Taxes Bill' of 1798 (introduced by Pitt to pay for the Napoleonic War) earned this caricature: he is shown in the costume of a High Court judge, for which he obviously does not have the stature.
