Certain City Macaronies, drinking Asses Milk.
[Oxford Magazine November, 1770.]
Etching, 175 x 110mm (7 x 4½"). Trimmed to plate on left.
Satire: a group of four fashionably dressed men drinking milk supplied by a fat lady from her ass, with a man pointing and laughing behind her. Plate from the 'Oxford Magazine', where it was published to illustrate a dialogue entitled 'The City Macaronies drinking Asses-Milk, at the Lactaeum, in St. George's-fields'. The dialogue described the affectations of macaronies and the advantages of drinking asses' milk. Possibly a satire of Teresa (Theresa) (nee Imer) Cornelys (1723-97), an operatic soprano and impresario who hosted fashionable gatherings at Carlisle House in Soho Square who in 1795 was using the name Mrs Smith and selling asses' milk in Knightsbridge.

Pub.d Oct.r 15.th 1819 by T. Tegg 111 Cheapside.
Hand-coloured etching, sheet 250 x 360mm (10 x 14¼"). Trimed losing platemark at top. Staining.
A satirical attack on Mayor John Atkins (fl.1819), portraying him as a scare-monger. An ass bearing the terrified profile of Mayor Atkins gallops from Henry Hunt (1773-1835) and a jeering crowd. The animal wears a double fool’s cap with bells, a cloak marked with the City Arms, and sheds the fallen mayoral chain; from its tail hangs a flaming pot tied with blood-stained daggers, a puppy, and a goose, while its hindquarters blaze with repeated cries of ''Plots.'' From its mouth comes the alarm, ''I smell a plot!'' Hunt, in a hunting cap, cracks his whip and shouts ''Fire! Fire!'' as his followers echo ''Fire Fire!'' and ''Fire Murder.'' The foremost pursuer, identified as Samuel Waddington (1759-c.1824), brandishes a three-lashed scourge labelled ''a Saddle for the Mare,'' ''a Bridle for the Ass,'' and ''a rod for the Fool’s back,'' while stones, dead rats, and other missiles fly. A scroll in the foreground reads ''London Preserved or the Plot discoverd a Farce Principal Character Lord Smoak Jack with fire Bloody Daggers &c.'' Nearby, a signpost proclaims ''Another Plot by G—d!!!! The L—d M—r has just discovered that during the Trials of Carlisle the Court is to be taken possession of by a band of Ruffians, Armed with Bloody Daggers!!!— six hundred extra Constables have been sworn in accordingly— Smoak Jacks favorite Oath, first brought into public notice in the Common Hall, holden on the Subject of the Corn Bill— Oh!

Bishop Bonner.
[n..d, c.1800.]
Engraving. Sheet 80 x 155mm (7 x 10"). Trimmed, laid on album paper.
A half-length satirical portrait in oval of Edmund Bonner (c. 1500-1569), Bishop of London 1539-49 and 1553-59, raising a willow switch above his head. This image is a detail from a scene of him punishing a heretic from 'Foxe's Book of Martyrs' (1563). Bonner originally supported Henry VIII's schism from Rome but, in the reign of Edward VI, opposed the king's role as head of the Church, for which he was removed from office and imprisoned in the Marshalsea, a prison in Southwark. He was restored by Mary I and began persecuting Protestants, earning the nickname 'Bloody Bonner'. Elizabeth sent him back to the Marshalsea in 1560, where he remained until he died.
Not recorded in Clayton, perhaps a connection to James Gillray.
