Arts & Sciences. Plate III.
[Robert Seymour]
London. Published by Thomas M.cLean. 26. Haymarket. July 1.st 1829.
Fine hand-coloured etching, 250 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"), with large margins. Holes in left margin where previously bound.
A series of comic scenes shows Pickle’s brief and disastrous experiments with various fashionable pursuits. First, he becomes an antiquary, seated in a mock-Gothic room cluttered with worthless trinkets. Wearing a dressing gown, he admires a broken medallion portrait offered by a slick salesman who insists he’s giving Pickle a bargain for ''one little dirty pound.'' Next, Pickle takes up music. Relaxing by the fire in his dressing gown, he enthusiastically blows a French horn, unaware of the furious neighbour in a nightshirt standing at the door. The man complains that his entire household has been kept awake for hours by the dreadful noise. Trying something new, Pickle experiments with ballooning, only to fall from the sky into the Thames. A boatman catches hold of the rope dangling from the balloon, while a rustic on the riverbank waits with a pitchfork to assist the unlucky aeronaut. He then turns to painting, depicting a woman who soon recognizes herself in an unflattering caricature. Enraged, she overturns his easel, scatters his paints, and jabs her umbrella into the portrait, shouting that she’ll teach him not to make a joke of her. Next, Pickle tries his hand at poetry. In nightcap and dressing gown, he sits at his desk muttering helplessly over a rhyme for ''azure,'' finally giving up in exasperation. Finally, his attempt at chemistry ends in chaos. An experiment bursts into flames, setting the room and the cat’s tail on fire. As smoke and sparks fill the air, Pickle runs about shouting for help.
