A (rather dim) traveller and his dog 'shelter' from angry skies, lightning and lashing rain beside a pathetic stump of a tree that has lost most of its branches (to lightning); Stonehenge on the horizon beyond, and a crow or raven on the tree above looking down. Irish interest. By William Heath (1794/5 - 1840), ex-Captain of Dragoons, illustrator of colour-plate books, and prolific caricaturist. From 1827-9 he used the pseudonym Paul Pry (from the name of a character in a comedy of 1825 by John Poole, that became a tag used for any very inquisitive person) with the emblem of a small man holding a walking stick in a lower corner of his plates. This figure was soon copied by other caricaturists (eg Sharpshooter), and so from 1828 Heath began to sign his plates with his full name. He published regularly with Thomas McLean.

Pub Feb 9th 1830 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket sole Publisher of W Heaths Etchings.
Hand-coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"), with wide margins.
Wellington's military success ('past') is contasted with his political instability ('present'). On the left he stands on a cloud immediately above Napoleon's tomb, with Fame blowing her trumpet and holding a wreath over his head. On the right he kneels precariously on the summit of a globe which is crushing the British people, some of whom try desperately to hold it up. It is covered, like a map, with islands or continents inscribed respectively 'Free Trade', 'National Debt', 'Currency', 'Taxes'. Dividing the two scenes, and in the upper part of the design, is a king enthroned, whose fleur-de-lis head identifies him as Charles X. Speech bubble coming from the fleur-de-lis reads 'all for me', the implication being that Napoleon's defeat served only to restore the Bourbons. This print was published only months before Charles was deposed in the July Revolution.

Hand-coloured etching. 260 x 369mm (10¼ x 14½").
Satire probably published between the King's Speech on 5 Feb, and the introduction of the Catholic Relief Bill on 5 March. Wellington, on the right, refuses to answer John Bull's questions about the Catholics and the 'little Queen' (Mary II of Portugal). He had concealed his intention to bring in Emancipation till a day or two before the opening of Parliament, thus aggravating Tory resentment. Furthermore, when the question of British relations with Portugal was raised in the Lords and in the Commons, a request for papers was refused, reinforcing allegations that the Government was favouring the usurpation of Don Miguel under cover of the preservation of neutrality.

Pub April by T McLean 26 Haymarket. [n.d. c.1830.]
Hand-coloured etching. Sheet 355 x 250mm (14 x 9¾"). Trimmed within plate. Time stained.
Caricature of the Duke of Wellington, referring to the Bill to disenfranchise the forty shilling Irish freeholders which accompanied the Catholic Emancipation Relief Act, raising fivefold the economic qualifications for voting. The Bill passed with little opposition but not without protest. Wellington as a statue in Roman armour, holding against his right hip a document inscribed 'Emancipation'. He wears a wreath of battered ears of corn (suggesting the straw crown of the lunatic as well as the Corn Bill), and faces an aggressive raven with the head of Eldon. Other menacing birds fly near. From the pedestal, as a background to the Duke's legs, projects a trophy of flags topped by French imperial eagles, with spear, bayonet, &c.

Pub Oct 1st 1829 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket Sole publisher of WH Etchings.
Coloured etching. 375 x 260mm (14¾ x 10¼"). Laid on card.
Wellington as a coal porter, carrying his military campbed balanced on his head. Half-way through his first term as Prime Minister, Wellington was already unpopular. He had been appointed Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports in January 1829, shortly after being made PM, mainly because he wanted to use Walmer Castle as a country residence. This caricature suggests he should leave government and retire there.

Pub by T. McLean 26 Haymarket Political & other Caricatuers Daily Pub.
Coloured etching. Sheet 245 x 355mm (9¾ x 14"). Trimmed to image, glue stains in bottom corners.
A fat and gross John Bull, a yokel in a smock, stoops forward to cheer on a terrier with the head of Eldon who grips in his teeth a rat with the (terrified) head of Wellington. Another rat (Peel?) has been flung into the air and falls back. Other rats, all with human heads, scamper away over a heap of unthrashed corn, into which some of them dive, tails only projecting: one disappears down a hole. Behind J. B. is the doorway of the barn, framing the tower of a village church which is shored up by beams, one inscribed 'Prop'.
