Very popular, they inspired these copies, published in London.

A Black Ball. La Pastorelle. Life in Philadelphia No. 10
W. Summers Del. C. Hunt Sc.
T.C. Lewis & Co. 96 Cheapside London [c1850]
Etching and aquatint with hand-colouring, sheet 220 x 275mm (8½ x 10¾"). Trimmed. Very slight staining in middle.
The 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population were first published by Edward William Clay in the United States in the 1820s. Shortly after the London publisher W. Harrison Isaacs published a set of copies drawn by William Summers and engraved by Charles Hunt, augmenting them with new caricatures in the same vein but set in London. Isaacs' plates subsequently passed to Gabriel Shire Tregear, and then to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this impression. Hickman notes that Lewis's reissue of Tregear's set of 20 'Life in Philadelphia' prints is dated to 1860 by the Library Company of Philadelphia, but suggests 'it was probably earlier'.

The volume, depicting the winners of the 3 great races over 8 years, was published by Rock Brothers & Payne in 1849. Although the series calls for 24 plates both Siltzer and Lane record only 22 plates, as here: therefore it is probable that only 22 plates were published.

At a gathering of smartly-dressed black people, a couple walk out onto the dance floor as an orchestra plays on the balcony. One of a series of 'Tregear's Black Jokes', a set of twenty caricatures first published in 1834, the year in which the Slavery Abolition Act came into force. The prints, which were advertised as 'A Series of Laughable Caricatures on the March of Manners amongst Blacks', developed the theme of the earlier 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population. These were first published by Edward William Clay in the United States in the 1820s. The London publisher Gabriel Shire Tregear published copies of the 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures, then followed it up with 'Tregear's Black Jokes'. After Tregear's death his plates passed to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this print. The three mentions of Tregear's name on the plate have either been changed to Lewis', or simply effaced.
