Scarce hand-coloured etching by Isaac Cruikshank; 370 x 280mm (14½ x 11"). On paper watermarked 'J Whatman.' Small margins. Tears repaired with acid free tape. Some cockling and light staining at top left.
With her right hand outstretched and left on her breast, the tall, attractive young lady bends to the right as though she is performing a passionate song. A shorter, stockier woman (possibly Lady Buckinghamshire, Albinia Hobart?) is seen looking up at her from the right. She is clutching a fan and is sporting a hat. Both have partially exposed breasts and short-waisted gowns, a look that suits one but not the other. The singer wears a large scarf around her neck, with the ends tucked in at the waist. Her hair has two upright ostrich feathers, and her ears are adorned with big rings. She is protesting with her right hand above a platter of tartlets and jellies that a footman is holding. His visage and outdated attire are horrifyingly parodied. A full-length portrait of a woman wearing broad, hooped petticoats, a lace apron, and a flat hat in the style of around 1740 hangs on the wall. Her right hand is in a small muff.

Hand coloured etching, sheet 245 x 385mm (9½ x 15¼") on paper watermarked '1793'. SW in ink on right bottom. Trimmed within plate. Very slight central crease. Right corner missing.
A satire on the dinner to Charles James Fox (1749-1806) on 10th October 1800. The actual tenor of the speech is ignored, except for Fox's contention that he had always been faithful to the principles of 1688, and his rejoicing at the success of America. Fox's inconsistency was a favourite topic (chiefly in relation to the Coalition and the Regency), as was the allegation that his supporters in Westminster were the riff-raff of the district. Fox presides at a dinner of ragamuffins. He stands at the head of the table with a paper titled 'Resolution' before him. There are also pipes, papers of tobacco, measures of Gin, tankards of ale, and one guttering candle. The guests are ruffianly vagabonds and include a chimney sweep, a man with a bludgeon, a ragged butcher with a mastiff representing the band of butchers who supported Fox at elections, possibley a sewer-man who holds an axe and a candle-end alight on the peak of his cap, and a bearded Jew is on the extreme left indicating his (former) indebtedness to Jews. A ragged man (right) fills the pot of a ruffian with a bandaged eye from a tankard inscribed 'The Kings Head C.I.F.'

Rare coloured etching, 18th century watermark; 390 x 250mm (15¼ x 9¾"). Trimmed into plate at top, chips in edges, stains at top and bit messy.
Fox, in uniform, stands at attention, holding a musket with four triggers and barrels, two pistols and a dagger in his belt, two grenades in his pocket and a knapsack of combustibles on his back. A blast from his lips reads 'Inflammatory Harrangues To stir up the People to Acts of Sedition - Mutiny - Treason - Rebellion'. At his feet are two papers: 'Punctual discharge of my Duty to my Constituants [scored through and replaced by] Colleagues'; and 'Remonstrance from my Constituents for non Attendance'. A satire impling that the Opposition preached Reform as a cover for revolution.

Hand coloured etching on 18th century watermarked paper. Sheet 260 x 380mm (10¼ x 15"). Trimmed within plate. Some surface dirt. Very small loss within title.
The print was published shortly after war between Britain and France began in February 1793. The date of 1791 is an engraver's error. A satire on the unpopular recruiting law of 24 February 1793. Recruits, bound and humiliated, are led off by two grotesque French officers, a third drives them along with his sword, "Come along and share in the glory of France." Five famished-looking men have been thrown across the back of a horse, where they lie head downwards, screaming. Into the posteriors of the topmost man is thrust a vertical pole, striped like a barber's, and tricolour, which supports a cap of 'Liberté'; he says, "I wont be a Volunteer foutré". Another man says, "if this is Rights of Man & french Liberty Lord have mercy upon us". On the horse's neck sits one of the officers, pointing to his victim and saying, "Vive la Liberté". A similar soldier leads the horse by a halter, a sword in his hand; he looks back fiercely, saying, "Come along my brave Volunteers, one Sous per Day in Assignats & Plenty of Water." Other men are dragged along by ropes attached to the horse; a woman and two ragged children form a chain to pull back a ragged man who is so dragged; he says, "oh mon Dieu, my Wife & my pauvre Famille". Another ragged man has fallen to the ground. Four other men are being driven along behind the horse by the third soldier; a man on the extreme left says, cowering in terror, "O I do not wish to go to Glory so soon".

George III as a bare-knuckled boxer fights Tsar Paul I and his second (Gustav IV Adolf, King of Sweden) and third (Christian VII, King of Denmark), beating them badly. Frederick William III, King of Prussia, stands behind, expressing his neutrality. Behind George is William Pitt the younger, dressed in full armour. The English press published a report from a Danish minister that Paul I had challenged the potentates of Europe to personal combat, with their generals and ministers as squires, to decide the war. Paul's eccentric reputation gave doubt to whether he was joking or not. His unpredictable behavior led to his assassination by his own officers only two month after this satire was published.

Cruikshank uses the fabled story of how to wash a blackamoor white to satirise Villiers' reputation.

Hand coloured etching, 18th century watermark;sheet 240 x 335mm (9 x 13½") with large margins, on 18th century watermarked paper. Trimmed within plate.
A satire on Thomas Erskine's, 1st Baron Erskine (1750-1823) marriage to his second wife and mistress Lady Sarah Erskine. They married Gretna Green on 12th October 1818. Erskine, in woman's dress, wearing a huge feathered bonnet over a barrister's wig, holds the right hand of a demure-looking woman, modishly dressed and apparently pregnant. He holds a paper: 'Breach of Promise'. With them are three young children. The smith, in profile to the right, wears Highland dress; he holds a red-hot bar on the anvil and raises his hammer, saying, "I shall make a good thing of this Piece at last." Erskine says: "I have bother'd the Courts in London many times, I'll now try my hand at the Scotch Bar—as to Miss C— she may do her worst since I have got my Letters back." A young woman rushes towards them shouting to stop. Gretna's "runaway marriages" began in 1754 when Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act came into force in England. Under the Act, if a parent of a person under the age of 21 objected to the minor's marriage, the parent could legally veto the union. The Act tightened the requirements for marrying in England and Wales but did not apply in Scotland, where it was possible for boys to marry at 14 and girls at 12 with or without parental consent. It was, however, only in the 1770s, with the construction of a toll road passing through the hitherto obscure village of Graitney, that Gretna Green became the first easily reachable village over the Scottish border. Scottish law allowed for "irregular marriages", meaning that if a declaration was made before two witnesses, almost anybody had the authority to conduct the marriage ceremony. The blacksmiths in Gretna became known as "anvil priests".

Dundas, who wears a Scots cap, plaid, and tartan stockings, with a flask protruding from his coat pocket, stands in profile to the right, saying, "I'll read ye a little aboot the same Business in my ain country - you will find how many made the siller frae that time to this - depend upon it Paddy ye will be much happier - and mair independent than ever." Paddy, an Irish farmer, looks round at him with a suspicious scowl, saying, "Now is it Blareying you are at?" Pitt says with a primly complacent expression: "Depend upon it - what that Gentleman says is right - thus I join your hands in Friendship. & one Interest - and whom I put together - let no man put asunder". John Bull stares to the right, saying, "This may be Nation good Fun. - but dang my buttons, if I know what it is about! & Cousin Paddy dont seem quite clear in the Case neither." On the extreme left stands a man with blankets over his arm inscribed 'Tax on Income'. He says: "When you want the Wet Blankets - I have them ready". He is perhaps Joseph Smith, (1757-1822) private secretary to Pitt and crown agent.
