Answer to John Bulls Complaint. 233.
T Tegg Cheapside [n.d.]
Hand-coloured etching. Watermark 1819; Plate 350 x 248mm (13¾ x 9¾").
The Regent, seated sideways on his chair, is in back view, holding out his hand in an oratorical gesture towards a ragged and despairing John Bull, who stands hat in hand addressing him. He says: "Why you unatural Grumbler after I have done all I could to get rid of your Money you Still grumble did I not give you a Fète did I not Build you a Bridge did I not Treat you with a Smell of all the nice things at my Feast did I not sign the Corn Bill did I not refuse the [scored through] your Address have I not drank whole Pipes of Wine for fear it should be waste'd have I not spent all your money because you should not spend it your self have you not got the Income Tax to keep you sober, & as for your Dress the Thinner the better for the Sumer Season so Johnny go Home to work its all for the good of your Country." The Regent wears a powdered wig and whiskers, a tight-waisted coat with small pointed tails over very tight breeches, sleeves puffed at the shoulders. John has no coat, wears a tattered waistcoat, shirt, and breeches, has one ragged stocking with a pad over the knee, and one bare leg covered with a twisted straw rope, with dilapidated shoes, thus resembling a destitute day labourer instead of a 'cit' or farmer. He registers despair and alarm.

Edward Athawes, Esq.r. from a Picture painted by Memory.
R.P. pinx. S. Smith fecit [William Dickinson].
[William Dickinson. n.d., c.1780.]
Rare mezzotint. Sheet size: 355 x 250mm (14 x 9¾"). Trimmed to plate.
Probably a portrait of Virginia tobacco trade merchant and financier Edward Athawes (d.1767), sitting three-quarter to left, with a tricorn in his lap. His right arm is curled around his cane. Edward Athawes was a prominent London merchant in the tobacco trade, which financed American plantations, (owners including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington) with sizeable loans from London. When tobacco prices dropped precipitously in the 1750s, many plantations struggled to remain financially solvent. Jefferson, on the verge of losing his own farm, aggressively espoused various conspiracy theories. Though never verified, Jefferson accused London merchants of unfairly depressing tobacco prices and forcing Virginia farmers to take on unsustainable debt loads. Chaloner Smith quotes Bromley's description of a second state with Dickinson's name added. This suggests that Dickinson engraved this when still working for Carington Bowles. He also describes another Edward Athawes, clerk for the Cordwainer's Company, who died in 1796; neither the dress nor the need for 'memory' suits that attribution,

Mortimer Pinxit. J.R. Smith Sculpsit.
Published Feb.14th 1780 by J. Boydell Engraver in Cheapside London.
Mezzotint. 255 x 305mm (10 x 12"). Thread margins; glued to backing sheet at corners. Good impression of a rare print.
Banditti scene after John Hamilton Mortimer (1740-79), published soon after the artist's death. Influenced by the works of Salvator Rosa (immensely popular during the period), Mortimer incorporated Rosa's disturbing banditti and occult subject matter in the 1770s. This print is usually regarded as a generic banditti scene: a preparatory drawing in the collection of Richard Payne Knight (now in the British Museum) was etched by Robert Blyth and published in November 1780 with the title 'Banditti Returning'. However, a related painting by Mortimer (Newcastle, Hatton Gallery) is titled 'The Sacrifice of Polyxena'. In Euripides' plays, Polyxena was sacrificed at the end of the Trojan War to appease the gods.

Belvoir Castle from the Hermitage on the Duke's Walk.

Lithograph with very large margins, printed area 260 x 425mm (10¼ x 16½").

Trench was also keenly interested in architecture: in 1815 he proposed a vast monument to British naval and military victories over France on the site which became Trafalgar Square, and in 1824 he launched a project for an embankment on the north side of the Thames (in conjunction with which a long print of the project was produced).
