The Glorious Verdict of Cold Bath Fields; or, a Hard Pull for Justice. The Political Drama. No.7.
Printed and Published by G. Drake, 12, Houghton Street, Clare Market [c.1833]
Wood-engraving, sheet 280 x 440mm (11 x 17¼"). Creases and staining; holes; Centre crease as normal..
On 13 May 1833 young radicals clashed with police in the Coldbath Fields Riots in Clerkenwell, London during protests against the 1832 Reform Act (which, the demonstrators argued, didn't go far enough). Three policemen were stabbed during the clashes, one of whom later died, and in an inquest into the death, a jury of local shopkeepers and householders returned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide, arguing that the violence was provoked by the police's aggressive handling of the protest. In this print the jury (on the left) are involved in a tug-of-war against politicians, a judge- and the devil. Woodcut satire from 'The Political Drama', a series of 131 satires produced between 1833 and 1835 by Charles Jameson Grant (1830-52, fl.).

659 to 36!! Great Odds for the Oak Stake.
CJG. London, Jany 4.th 1835.
Published by the Society for the Suppression of Conservative Vice, & sold by all Lovers of Reform of Abuses & to be had of E. Birchenall: Churchgate St; Bury.
Lithograph. Sheet: 495 x 315mm, (19½ x 12½") very large margins.
Dominated by an auctioneer, a British satire, a series of unconnected caricature vignettes. The centre of the print is dominated by a large set of scales – a well-established symbol within the English satirical canon – which are weighted heavily towards the side containing 659 “£10 voters”, as opposed to the 36 well-dressed gentlemen of the “close packed corporation”. Beneath the scales a tubby gent in a bicorn hat tries to correct this imbalance by helplessly tugging at a rope. The multiple punning references to oaks are reinforced by the image of a dying tree stump, which Grant had given a human face, that looks miserably on from the background whilst a vulture, or some other bird of prey, circles above it menacingly. In the bottom left-hand corner two men, an undertaker and a man carrying the trappings of a pharmacist, stand in conversation. The apothecary, with a face that appears to be hideously scarred by smallpox; above stands a huge wheel of cheese, out of which crawls a figure. The rest of the print is covered by a motley collection of characters including ‘Teddy the Mower’ – a hobo who carries an official mace that’s been turned into a scythe, ‘Turn Again Dick’ – A two-faced politician who advocates reform but also brandishes an article written for the Tory press, ‘A German Duck’ – A grotesquely overweight and featureless figure that has a dead bird hanging out of his coat pocket and the unnamed figure of an auctioneer. The print refers to the campaign for the 1835 general election campaign that began in Bury St Edmunds. The multiple references to ‘oaks’ relate to a prominent local banker by the name of James Henry Oakes, a staunch Tory supporter, who used his considerable wealth to pack the town Corporation with placemen who would deliver the policies he wanted. It is possible that the portly figure who is attempting to pull the scales back in favour of the “Close Pack’d Corporation” may be James Henry Oakes himself, although the character bears no resemblance to the 1839 portrait of Oakes held by the National Gallery.

Two satires on the ''Sabbath Obervance Bill'', introduced to the Commons in 1833, from 'The Political Drama', a series of 131 satires produced between 1833 and 1835 by Charles Jameson Grant (1830-52, fl.). A cat is hanging from a tree outside St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics in Old Street, London, condemned by a man dressed as a Quaker, with a tartan cloak. The on-lookers call him a 'Merry Andrew' (i.e. a person who amuses others by ridiculous behavior), believing him to be a resident of the building behind (renamed St Andrew's). The Quaker has a number of petitions and bills under his arm. Between 1830 and 1847 the M.P. for Wigtownshire, Sir Andrew Agnew, introduced four bills to the House of Commons attempting to enforce the better Observance of the Sabbath. On his third attempt Charles Dickens wrote 'Sunday Under Three Heads' (1836), a personal attack on Agnew, whom he described as a fanatic, motivated by resentment of the idea that those poorer than himself might have any pleasure in life. Agnew left Parliament in 1837, ending the campaign.
