Answer to John Bulls Complaint. 233.
T Tegg Cheapside [n.d.]
Hand-coloured etching. Watermark 1819; Plate 350 x 248mm (13¾ x 9¾").
The Regent, seated sideways on his chair, is in back view, holding out his hand in an oratorical gesture towards a ragged and despairing John Bull, who stands hat in hand addressing him. He says: "Why you unatural Grumbler after I have done all I could to get rid of your Money you Still grumble did I not give you a Fète did I not Build you a Bridge did I not Treat you with a Smell of all the nice things at my Feast did I not sign the Corn Bill did I not refuse the [scored through] your Address have I not drank whole Pipes of Wine for fear it should be waste'd have I not spent all your money because you should not spend it your self have you not got the Income Tax to keep you sober, & as for your Dress the Thinner the better for the Sumer Season so Johnny go Home to work its all for the good of your Country." The Regent wears a powdered wig and whiskers, a tight-waisted coat with small pointed tails over very tight breeches, sleeves puffed at the shoulders. John has no coat, wears a tattered waistcoat, shirt, and breeches, has one ragged stocking with a pad over the knee, and one bare leg covered with a twisted straw rope, with dilapidated shoes, thus resembling a destitute day labourer instead of a 'cit' or farmer. He registers despair and alarm.

Hand-coloured etching. Sheet: 255 x 365mm (10 x 14¼''). Trimmed and tipped into album sheet.
Two contrasting men, exemplifying different fashions and physiognomies. The printmaker William Heath (1794-1840) used the pseudonym Paul Pry (taken from the name of a character in John Poole's 1825 comedy, and used to describe a very inquisitive person) between 1827-9, and rather than signing his name he used the 'Paul Pry' monogram seen here, a small man holding a walking stick. However this figure began to be copied by other caricaturists (including Sharpshooter ) and so Heath reverted to his own name.

Pub Sep 29th 1829 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket - Sole Publisher of W Heaths etchings.
Fine hand-coloured etching. Sheet 240 x 355mm (9½ x 14"). Trimmed to printed border.
Robert Peel pulls the overcoat off a nightwatchman to throw onto a burning watch box, as the watchman begs for mercy. Another watchman hangs from a tree, still holding his lamp and rattle. An arm also holding a rattle sticks up out of a lake. A satire on the replacement of the district watch system with Peel's new police force, and the phasing out of the watch boxes which the watchmen often lived in. By William Heath (1794/5 - 1840), ex-Captain of Dragoons. From 1827-9 he used the pseudonym Paul Pry (from the name of a character in a comedy of 1825 by John Poole; however the monogram was soon copied by other caricaturists (eg Sharpshooter), so Heath reverted to using his own name.

A satire on the extreme fashion of 19th century, showing the manufacture and exhibition of an enormous and flamboyant hat.
