[Duke of Wellington] Rats in the barn. Or John Bulls famous old dog Billy astonishing the Varment.
[Monogram of Paul Pry, pseudonym of William Heath.]
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'.

[Monogram of William Heath - 'Paul Pry', a man holding an umbrella.]
Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket where political & other Caricatures are dail Publishing. [n.d., c.1829.]
Handcoloured etching. 370 x 260mm (14½ x 10¼"), with wide margins.
A pugilistic encounter between two old market-women who are John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon (1751-1838) and Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769 - 1852). Eldon has a basket of oranges (emblem of the Orange Lodges) beside him, and wears a flat wide-brimmed hat. Wellington wears a soldier's coat over his skirt and apron. Each has a bottle-holder; that of Eldon is John Bull, a stout yokel who puts his hand on his principal's bulging posterior, saying, 'Welldone-—old Mother Baggs—you have got the best bottom after all. see what it is to have a good Constitution—give it her—she has'ent got the Mounshears to deal with now.' Wellington's supporter is a bare-legged Irish ragamuffin with a pipe thrust in his little hat who says 'Murder ye ould cat kape your fists Tight—or you'I let the Ould Orange-Woman bate ye clane.' In the background is a freely sketched crowd of spectators, one of whom represents Robert Peel. Possibly a satire on the 4 April 1827 Lords debate on the second reading of the Catholic Relief Bill, in which Wellington accused Eldon of having thrown "a large paving-stone instead of ... a small pebble". 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, as seen here.

The Saveall or _ Economy __
[Monogram of William Heath - 'Paul Pry', a man holding an umbrella.]
Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket where Political & other Caricatures are daily Pub. [n.d., c.1828.]
Handcoloured etching. Plate: 260 x 370mm (10¼ x 14½"). Very large margins.
Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769 - 1852) stands in profile to the left between Apsley House (right) and the Triumphal Arch on Constitution Hill, still with some scaffolding (built by Decimus Burton in 1828 and afterwards temporarily disfigured by the equestrian statue of Wellington). He holds a large flat candlestick on which is a saveall, a device for burning a candle to the last drop of grease. On the saveall is an inverted ducal coronet from which projects a vice (a pun is probably intended) on which is the tiny lighted taper which the Duke is about to extinguish with his glossy top-hat. The rays are inscribed £ 15 pr An, £25 pr An. Behind a hoarding masons and hodmen are working on a scaffold against the new pillars of Apsley House, on which is a placard: Letters & Parcels to be left in Downing St. In the background, also behind a hoarding, are Windsor Castle, surrounded with scaffolding but with a flag flying, and (left) the reconstructed Buckingham Palace, partly hidden by the Arch and placarded ‘Plans Recieved here for Pulling Down’. A satire on the expense of building operations at Windsor (by Wyatville) and at Buckingham Palace (by Nash), and on Wellington's (alleged) lavish expenditure and trifling domestic economies. According to Creevey, 20 Mar. 1828, Nash and others had recently visited Wellington saying that the King wished part of the new buildings at the Palace pulled down and the plan altered; the Duke refused. The Corinthian Portico and bays of the west wing of Apsley House were added in 1828 the same year as Wellington became Prime Minister. 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 June 5 1829 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket Sole Publisher of Paul Prys Caricatuers none are Original without McLeans name.
Etching with very fine hand colour. 370 x 260mm (14½ x 10¼"). Mounted in album paper at edges.
A satire on the Wellington Monument in Phoenix Park, at the time unfinished because of lack on funds. The Duke sits on a close-stool (covered chamber pot) marked '40 Free', which is balanced on a lion with the face of Lord Eldon, which in turn lies on a volume titled 'Constitution. On Wellington's shoulders sits Pope Pius VIII, who grins down on a ragged Irishman. Robert Peel peeks out from behind. The 'forty-shilling freeholders' were those who owned or rented land that was worth at least that amount, and thus were eligible to vote.

D. Smith 1929 [pencil signature lower right]
Aquatint with very large margins, very scarce, platemark 200 x 230mm (8 x 9").
Probably a portrait of Hubert L. Wellington (1879-1967), artist and art teacher. Wellington arrived at the Slade to study at the same time as Wyndham Lewis, and was close friends with Camden Town Group members Spencer Gore and Harold Gilman. Wellington's work is in the Tate collection, but it was as a teacher that he made his most important contribution, working as lecturer and registrar from 1923-32 (during which time this print was made), and later becoming principal at Edinburgh College of Art and the Slade. Wellington's DNB entry was written by Sir William Coldstream, whose time at the Slade overlapped with Wellington's.

Low.
Etching. 330 x 228mm.
Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English author, best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary. Together with Jules Verne, Wells has been referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction". Wells was an outspoken socialist and a pacifist, and his later works became increasingly political and didactic. His middle period novels (1900-1920) were more realistic; they covered lower-middle class life (The History of Mr Polly) and the 'New Woman' and the Suffragettes (Ann Veronica).
