![[Henry Hardinge and the Crimean War] The ''System'' or the British Juggernaut.](jpegs/61430.jpg)
[Henry Hardinge and the Crimean War] The ''System'' or the British Juggernaut. They manage these matters better in France. Sterne.
Touchstone del.t.
London, Published Nov.r 1855 by Lloyd Brothers & C.º 22 Ludgate Hill.
Tinted lithograph. Sheet 305 x 410mm (12 x 16"). Repaired tear.
A satire on Henry Hardinge (1785-1856), Commander-in-Chief of the Forces during the Crimean War. A toothless old man, he sits in a chariot (marked 'Routine', 'Family Interest' and 'incompetence'), being pulled by Establishment figures, crushing soldiers marked 'Common Fellows' and 'Ill-Paid Sailors'. His six arms hold a cat o'nine tails, commissions for sale, a baton marked 'caprice', and money-bags for bribes, extravagence and speculation. John Bull stands in a window with a bulldog with 'Times' on its collar. The conduct of the Crimean War was being questioned, particularly by 'The Times', whose correspondent William Howard Russell was reporting on the appalling conditions suffered by the regular army. A commission was set up to investigate these failings: as Hardinge was delivering the report to Victoria and Albert, he collapsed with a stroke and had to retire soon after. 'Touchstone' was a satirist whose work was published by Thomas McLean in the early 1850s. The 'T' of Touchstone is a monogram of a jester's head with belled cap.

Pub. by T. McLean, 26 Haymarket, Feb 17. 1851. Printed at 70. S.t Martin's Lane.
Rare tinted lithograph. Sheet 300 x 340mm (11¾ x 13½"). Two repaired tears, creasing.
Cardinal Wiseman (1802-65) seated at a dining table, but the platters (marked 'Territorial Titles' and 'Charitable Bequests') are being removed by the servants, prompted by a staff coming from one side. When Pope Pius IX set up a hierarchy of dioceses in England and Wales in 1850, the government responded with the 'Ecclesiastical Titles Act 1851', which prevented anyone outside the established ''United Church of England and Ireland'' to use any episcopal title ''of any city, town or place... in the United Kingdom''. Any property passed to a person under such a title would be forfeit to the Crown. 'Touchstone' was a satirist whose work was published by Thomas McLean in the early 1850s. The 'T' of Touchstone is a monogram of a jester's head with belled cap.
