Duncombe's Miniature Caricature Magazine. No.5. A fine Refiner, or a Search for the Philosopher's Stone!!
[n.d. c.1825.]
Hand-coloured etching and aquatint. 115 x 152mm (4½ x 6"). Cut.
A satire on Alderman Cox's legal action against Edmund Kean for adultery with Charlotte Cox, at the King's Bench. The alderman stands at centre, wearing the cuckold's horns, feeding Kean's love letters to his wife (standing to the left) into a cooking pot as the devil stokes the fire with bellows. These letters were read out in court: one, addressed to 'Little Breeches' (as is one of the letters in the pot), continued 'My darling love/Little impudent bitch, Come immediately & apologise for your impudence yesterday'. Kean lost and was forced to pay £800 to Cox, although the public disapproval that forced him to leave the country cost him far more.

[Roman Catholic Relief Act] The Extinguisher, or putting out the Great Law-Luminary.
T. J Fec.t
London. Pub. 1829 by S.W Fores. 41. Picadilly.
Etching with fine hand colour. Sheet 340 x 245mm (13½ x 9½"). Trimmed within plate.
Satire on the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, Lord Chancellor John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon was notoriously anti-catholic. Eldon's head rests on a candle-end which is in an elaborate candle-stick of gold plate, standing on the ground. Wellington, in uniform, reaches up to cover it with a huge extinguisher inscribed 'Catholic Bill Majority 168'; he says: 'Thus I obscure you, ne'er to shine again.' Eldon looks to the left, registering intensive melancholy; rays from his head, obstructed on the left by the extinguisher, strike against the profile of George IV, whose head, shoulder, and paunch project from the right margin, leaning towards the candle says 'Poor Old Bags!'
