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.

Two contrasting men, exemplifying different fashions and physiognomies.

However this figure began to be copied by other caricaturists (including Sharpshooter ) and so Heath reverted to his own name.

Published Sepr.1st.1809, by G. Robinson Paternoster Row, London.
Stipple. 252 x 215mm. Stuck to card in each corner.
Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis, KG (1738-1805) was a British Army officer and colonial administrator. In the United States and Britain, he is best remembered as one of the leading generals in the American War of Independence. His 1781 surrender to a combined American-French force at the Siege of Yorktown is often incorrectly considered the end of the war; in fact, it continued for a further two years. Despite this defeat, he retained the confidence of successive British governments and continued to enjoy an active career. In India, where he served two terms as governor general, he is remembered for promulgating the Permanent Settlement. As Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he argued for Catholic emancipation and oversaw the response to the 1798 Irish Rebellion and a French invasion of Ireland.

Pub June 26 1829 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket Sold Publisher of P. Prys Caricatures.
Hand-coloured etching. 370 x 260mm (14½ x 10¼"), on paper watermarked 'J Whatman Turkey Mill 1828', with large margins.
Frederick Peter Delmé-Radcliffe (1804-1871), the noted gentleman jockey in charge of the King's Stud, depicted as a thin man in riding dress with top-hat and top-boots, holding out a betting-book. The performance of the king's horse 'The Colonel' at the Ascot Gold Cup on June 18th disappointed William IV; a letter appeared in the 'Sporting Magazine', signed by 'Independence', claiming the horse had been seen being hacked by a drunken rider only four days before the race. Delmé-Radcliffe issued a denial, but had difficulty getting it published. Heath gives a nod to the author of the letter by referencing the Greek struggle for independence. 'Paul Pry' was the pseudonym of William Heath.
