Publishd as the Act directs Sept.r 1 1773 by T. Wright Essex Street, Strand.
Engraving, sheet 205 x 120mm (8 x 4¾"). Trimmed.
Paul Whitehead (1710-74), satirist in the vein of Alexander Pope who also organised events such as a mock Masonic procession along the Strand which was depicted in a satirical print. By the 1750s Whitehead lived at the elegant Colne Lodge on the north side of Twickenham Common. At this time his friends included the painters Francis Hayman and George Lambert, while his portrait was painted by Gainsborough (now lost). Whitehead's last bequest was his heart to his patron Dashwood, now Lord Le Despencer, with £50 for a marble urn in which it could be placed in Dashwood's mausoleum at West Wycombe. The urn containing the heart (shown here) was ceremoniously deposited in the mausoleum at West Wycombe on 16 August 1775 but was later stolen by a tourist.

Charles Whitlaw, a Scottish horticulturist, emigrated to North America in 1794 and spent about two decades collecting botanical specimens, some of which are preserved in the herbarium at the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin. On returning to Britain, he was proposed for election as a Fellow of The Linnean Society of London, but was black-balled. He established ''patent medicated vapour baths'' in which he employed various North American plants with reputed medicinal properties. Claiming to be able to cure diseases such as scrofula, Whitlaw outraged the medical establishment and he was branded a charlatan and a quack.

[n.d., c.1820.]
Coloured aquatint. Sheet 100 x 115mm (4 x 4½"). Trimmed. Remains of map verso.
A widow rides a black ram into a court full of laughing lawyers. An illustration of a ancient manorial custom in parts of England, relating to 'free bench', the widow's right to retain tenure of her late husband's land. This was usually allowed as long as she preserved her chastity. If she strayed she would lose the proprty but could avoid this by the penance of riding the ram into court, reciting a verse beginning 'Here I am, / Riding upon a black ram, / Like a whore as I am'. During the trial of Queen Caroline in 1820, Theodore Lane depicted her entering the House of Lords on a black ram with the face of her supposed lover, Bartolommeo Bergami (BM Satires 14013).

The Widow of an Indian Chief Watching the Arms of Her Deceased Husband.
Painted by J. Wright. Engravd by J R Smith, Mezzotinto Engraver to his Royal Highn.s the Prince of Wales; & his Serene Highn.s the Duke of Orleans.
Published March, 2. 1812, by Tho. Palser, Surry-side of Westminster Bridge.
Mezzotint, very fine printing in colours and hand finished. 460 x 560mm. (18 x 22"). Thread margins.
A Native American woman sitting beneath a tree stump on which her dead husband's quiver, bow, knife and axe are hung. Below is choppy water, above a stormy sky. Engraved by John Raphael Smith after Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-97). The painting, now in the Derby Museum and Art Gallery, was first exhibited in Wright's one-man show of 1785, following his break from the Royal Academy. In the catalogue that accompanied the first showing of the painting in London in 1785, Wright explained that it depicts the custom whereby the widow of a great Native American warrior would sit all day for a month beneath a memorial in the form of a tree on which were hung his weapons. Wright, as always, strove for accuracy in depicting his subject: here his source was James Adair's 'History of the American Indians' (1775), an important record of mid 18th-century life in America.
