The Inside of a School - or the First meeting - after the Holidays;.!!! -
Cawse.
Publish.d Feb.ry 17.th 1800 by SW Fores Piccadilly.
Fine hand-coloured etching, SWF in ink, 265 x 400mm (10½ x 15¾"). Thread margins top and bottom. Laid on backing sheet. Very small tear top right border.
Satire on the return of Fox (1749-1806), to Parliament for the debate of 3rd February, but without application to the debate itself. A schoolroom stands in for the House of Commons. Dundas (1742-1811) sits on the left with a cane; on the right, Pitt (1759-1806) suavely receives a new scholar. In the centre, Fox in a fool’s cap marked ‘Truant’, stands on a heap of papers and weeps, a birch-rod in his left hand. The papers include ‘Lists of Traitors, Reports of the Secret Committee, Reports, Quigly’s Life, Ld E. Fitzgerald, O Conners Confession, and Death & Caract[er].’ Pitt tells the boy in Court dress: "You are a New Scholar. I Perceive, be a Good Boy & you shall be rewarded. Say after me, P-E-N-Pen SI-si-Pensi-ON-on - Pension - thats a Good Boy!!!" The reply is: "P-E-N-Pen . . . [&c.]". Pitt holds a paper, 'Aye No Place Pension', and another on his desk, 'Plan for an Union'; from his pocket protrudes 'A List of Secret Traitors.' Beneath his stool are two bags: 'Old Wigs for Bad Boys' and, spilling guineas, 'Candle Ends Cheese Pareings & Sugar Plumbs for Good Boys.' Dundas, in tartan, turns threateningly toward desks labelled 'Forms for Sulky Boys', where Sheridan (1751-1816) and Burdett (1770-1844) look uneasy. He warns them: "Haud yere Tongues, Young Gentlemen - or Ye'll never Thrive i the World, Good Boys Should never Say any thing but Aye, or NO!"

Publish.d Nov.r 30 1799 by SW Fores Piccadilly where f[olios] of Caricatures may be had for the Evening
Hand-coloured etching, 355 x 270mm (14 x 10½"). On 18th century watermarked paper. Stamp of Samuel William Fores 'S.W.F' in brown ink in right corner. . Thread margin on left and trimmed to plate on right.
One phrase within the image, "Constitutions Ready for all Occasions", is in the typically neat hand of F. Sansom( fl. c.1797-1810); the remainder of the lettering is less carefully etched. Bonaparte (1769-1821) sits enthroned among clouds, brooding, his face in both hands. His right leg rests on a skull, his left trampling papers titled ‘Hymn Marselos’ and 'Council of Cinq Cents.’ Beneath the skull lie more papers: ‘Liste of the Judges’, ‘Myself in Egypt an Oratorio’, ‘Ca ira ira’. He wears uniform and a plumed cocked hat, framed by a radiant triangle of daggers inscribed ‘Seyes’, ‘Buonaparte’, ‘Ducos’; within it appears Abbaye. Behind him stand two attendant demons: Sieyès (1748-1836), wearing a bonnet-rouge, and Ducos (1747-1816), both emerging from clouds in long gowns, looking anxiously at their master; a label reads ‘Constitutions Ready for all Occasions’. In the air, four small, tailed demons with the heads of English Jacobins swarm around; Sheridan (1751-1816) spits fire at Bonaparte, while Fox (1749-1806) is at the right, the remaining figures likely M. A. Taylor (1757-1834) and Stanhope (1753-1816) .Along the lower edge appear rough Frenchmen cheering their new ruler, waving bonnets-rouges or daggers. One shouts "Down with the Councils up wth the Committees", another "Vive La Babouf Ca ira".
