Legitimacy in Commotion or All Wrong with Divine Right.
H.B. [John Doyle.]
Published by T. McLean, 28, Haymarket, 28 Aug 1830.
Coloured lithograph. Sheet 275 x 375mm (10¾ x 14¾"). Trimmed to printed border, laid on album paper, at corners, tears glued down.
A satire on the July Revolution of 1830, which forced Charles X (1757-1836) to abdicate. He and the duc d'Angoulême stand in the foreground, the former king saying 'Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the fate of kings'. To the left the Dey of Algiers wanders off, having been deposed by French action earlier in the year. Behind, a long fishing rod from the 'Times office' snags the crown off the king's head. John Doyle (1797-1868), worked under the pseudonym 'HB' from 1827, usually issuing one satire a month during parliamentary seasons. Doyle preserved his anonymity as 'H.B.' until 1843, when he revealed himself to Sir Robert Peel in a letter justifying his motives and principles as a cartoonist.

Published Dec.r 31st 1840 by Tho.s M.cLean, 26, Haymarket.

A satire of the 'Bedchamber Crisis', with the assault of the Conservative Party on the Whig government is compared to the taking of Zhousan during the First Opium War (1839-42). It shows Robert Peel in the stern and Wellington in the bow of a man-of-war's boat full of Conservatives, approaching a fort, on which Viscount Melbourne, dressed as a Chinaman, hangs a board inscribed: "Spare Us for the sake of our Women'. In 1839 Viscount Melbourne resigned as Prime Minister and Queen Victoria asked Peel to form a new government. However the Conservatives were a minority in the House of Commons, and so, fearing that forming a weak government would damage his future, Peel refused unless the Queen purged her ladies of the bedchamber, her closest companions, many of whom were the wives or daughters of whig politicians. No agreement was reached, so Melbourne was persuaded to stay on. On 8th December, 1840, the Times reported the assault on Zhousan: 'On landing, the troops found the city and suburbs abandoned by the inhabitants, with the exception of one man, who was holding up a board, with this inscription upon it - 'Save us for the sake of our wives and children'.' Doyle could nt let the opportunity for satire pass. The Conservatives continued to make headway and in 1841 Peel got a majority in the General Election, replaced Melbourne and removed the Whig ladies. As Victoria had married Albert in 1840 she relied on them less and so made no complaint.
The original sketch is in the British Museum Satire Colletion.

Published by Tho.s McLean, 26 Haymarket, Sep 9 1830.]
Fine coloured lithograph. Sheet 275 x 380mm (10¾ x 15"). Trimmed to printed border. Very slight nick bottom right margin.
Wellington and Peel peruse various busts of politicians, deciding which ones to buy for the new cabinet for William IV's first government. On the ground lower left is a bust of O'Connell: 'This head wont be sold until it be bought'. John Doyle (1797-1868), worked under the pseudonym 'HB' from 1827, usually issuing one satire a month during parliamentary seasons. Doyle preserved his anonymity as 'H.B.' until 1843, when he revealed himself to Sir Robert Peel in a letter justifying his motives and principles as a cartoonist.
