The Cotillon Dancer Run Mad - In Bath.
(Bath) by an officer of the Guards [Darly.]
Pubd Jany 21 1774. by MDarly 39 Strand.
Etching, 245 x 175mm. 9¾ x 7". Patch repair to left of image.
A man dancing, gesturing to his left. A satire on the latest dancing craze imported from France to fashionable meeting places like Bath.

Cotillions were introduced in London about 1766 by French dancing masters. From an album of caricatures published by Mary Darly dated January 1776. It seems that her husband Matthew made the plates. Numbered 'V.3' upper left and '21' upper right.
BM Satires: undescribed.

[John Cottington] Mulld . Sake. I Walke the Strand, and Westminster; and Scorne / to march t'th Cittie; though I beare the Horne, / My feather, and my yellow Band, accord / to prove me Courtier, My Boote, spur, and sword, / My smokinge Pipe, Scarfe, Garter, Rose on Shoe, / Showe my brave mind, t'affect what Gallants do. / I Singe, dance, drinke, and merrily passe the day, / and like a Chimney, sweep all care away.
Pub.d Aug.t 8th 1794 by Caulfield and Herbert.
Etching with engraving. Sheet 245 165mm (9½ x 6½"). Trimmed within plate.
Full length portrait of John Cottington (1610-1655), called 'Mul-Sack', a chimney sweep, carrying the tools of his trade. However, after a bad marriage (his bride turned out to be a cross-dresser), he turned to crime: becoming a pickpocket, he is said to have attempted to steal Oliver Cromwell's purse. After a failed attempt at highway robbery he fled to the contintent, where he was introduced at the court of exiled Charles II. Assuming he had enough intelligence to buy a pardon from Oliver Cromwell, he returned to England, but he was arrested and executed in Smithfield Rounds in April, 1655. From James Caulfield's 'Portraits, Memoirs, and Characters of remarkable Persons, from the Reign of Edward III to the Revolution'.

Steel engraved advert. 80 x 120mm (3¼ x 4¾"). Some faint text offset.
A trade card with a view of the cotton factory at Barton Hill, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, regarded as Bristol's most important factory. Founded as 'Clarke, Acramans, Maze & Co.' in 1837, the factory was completed in 1838 and started producing cotton early the following year. By 1872 the factory contained more than 800 looms. Despite closing in 1925, the main spinning mill was only demolished in 1968. The original company had 15 proprietors: of these eight appear in slave compensation records as owners of slaves on West Indian cotton plantations and a ninth was the son of an owner.

Three men seated in a latrine: Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford (1732-1792) (centre), William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield (1705-1793) (left) in judge's wig and gown, and John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792) (right), Boreas, Caen Wood (Mansfield's house near Hampstead), and "Jemmy Twitcher" being inscribed over their respective heads. On the wall "the State of the Nation". North is looking at Mansfield with a satisfied expression on his face. He has a large piece of torn paper in his right hand that reads, "National Debt 206,000 000 00 60 000 £ for Razors, Jews Harps," (probably implying that the Jewish men were making large profits in taking up loans and were shaving their beards on becoming wealthy). A piece of paper with the inscription "Improvements in Bushy 1780" is clutched by him in his right hand, suggesting that he is using the Exchequer to fund improvements to his own home. A big piece of torn paper with the words "Protestant Association Lord G. Gordon President" is under his feet. De Castro, 'Gordon Riots'. North turned down Lord George Gordon's request, made on January 5, 1780, for him to present the Protestant Association's petition for the repeal of the Catholic Relief Act, which Gordon had presented on June 2 with disastrous results. Turning around, Mansfield tears pieces from "Magna Chart[a]" that is affixed to the wall behind him. Sandwich is seen tearing an ensign flag with a triumphant expression on his face, suggesting that he is playing havoc with the Navy. A torn paper with the words "Petition... County of Huntingdon" is under his foot. Three prints are pasted on the wall: "The State of the Nation”, "Poor Old England," and "The Family of ye Wrong Heads". Over the head of Sandwich a piece of paper with the following writing is on the wall: "Neglecting faithfid Worth for Fawning Slaves; Whose Councels weak & Wicked, easy rous'd To Paltry Scheems of Absolute Command, To seek their Splendour in their sure Disgrace, And in a broken ruin'd Peoples Wealth: When such o'ercast the State, no Bond of Love, No Heart, no Soul, no Unity, no Nerve, Combines the loose disjointed Publick, lost To Fame abroad, to Happiness at Home.

Framed scarce etching, sight size 240 x 235mm (9½ x 13¼"). Frame size 420 x 515mm (16½ x 20¼"). Unexamined outside of frame. Loss top right corner and made up repair bottom right.
Three men seated in a latrine: Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford (1732-1792) (centre), William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield (1705-1793) (left) in judge's wig and gown, and John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792) (right), Boreas, Caen Wood (Mansfield's house near Hampstead), and "Jemmy Twitcher" being inscribed over their respective heads. On the wall "the State of the Nation". North is looking at Mansfield with a satisfied expression on his face. He has a large piece of torn paper in his right hand that reads, "National Debt 206,000 000 00 60 000 £ for Razors, Jews Harps," (probably implying that the Jewish men were making large profits in taking up loans and were shaving their beards on becoming wealthy). A piece of paper with the inscription "Improvements in Bushy 1780" is clutched by him in his right hand, suggesting that he is using the Exchequer to fund improvements to his own home. A big piece of torn paper with the words "Protestant Association Lord G. Gordon President" is under his feet. De Castro, 'Gordon Riots'. North turned down Lord George Gordon's request, made on January 5, 1780, for him to present the Protestant Association's petition for the repeal of the Catholic Relief Act, which Gordon had presented on June 2 with disastrous results. Turning around, Mansfield tears pieces from "Magna Chart[a]" that is affixed to the wall behind him. Sandwich is seen tearing an ensign flag with a triumphant expression on his face, suggesting that he is playing havoc with the Navy. A torn paper with the words "Petition... County of Huntingdon" is under his foot. Three prints are pasted on the wall: "The State of the Nation”, "Poor Old England," and "The Family of ye Wrong Heads". Over the head of Sandwich a piece of paper with the following writing is on the wall: "Neglecting faithfid Worth for Fawning Slaves; Whose Councels weak & Wicked, easy rous'd To Paltry Scheems of Absolute Command, To seek their Splendour in their sure Disgrace, And in a broken ruin'd Peoples Wealth: When such o'ercast the State, no Bond of Love, No Heart, no Soul, no Unity, no Nerve, Combines the loose disjointed Publick, lost To Fame abroad, to Happiness at Home. Vide Thompson, Liberty Book y 4."

John Bull In The Council Chamber.
G. Cruikshank fec.t.
Pub.d July 1.st 1813 by W N Jones N.o5 Newgate Street.
Etching with hand colour, Whatman 1811 watermark; sheet 210 x 495mm (8¼ x 19½"). Trimmed within plate. Folds as issued. Some small tears in the folds. Right side ragged. Large repaired tear on left.
Plate from the 'Scourge', vi, frontispiece. In the center of the design, a caricatured Queen Charlotte (1744-1818) sits enthroned beneath a canopy. Her knees are spread wide, and she has one slender foot elevated on a cushioned stool, a coffer holding the "Hastings Diamond"; in her left hand she holds a sceptre topped with an eagle, and her left elbow rests on a bolster bearing the name "German Sausage," which is perched atop a large mound of greenery inside a receptacle labeled "Sauer Kraut." Perched on her feathered cap is a small crown. A lean, hideous courtier (left) kneels and offers her a box labelled 'Strasbu[rgh],' from which she takes snuff; another (right) stands with her knees bent and holds another box bearing the same inscription. Both sport feminine mob-caps, quasi-military attire with epaulets, and have grotesque comic profiles. Behind the first, a third, capless, holds out a jar of 'Strasbu[rgh]' snuff. Three small, hideous demons sprint forward from the left, each holding a box on their head that reads "Real Strasburg," "Princes Mixture," and "Irish Blaguard." A fourth moves forward from the right, carrying a massive jar of "Royal Strasburgh" atop his head. The Queen's festooned canopy is held up by terminal pillars topped with half-length representations of repulsive, nude hags resting their arms on a cluster of money bags bearing the words "1000" or "... 00." A serpent with fangs and fiery jaws is entwined around each, projecting the words "Pride Corruption" on the left and "Malice Hatered" on the right. "Am I not the Q—n?" she asks. I refuse to give up even the slightest bit of my authority—more Strasburgh there—present the reports to me." Robert Banks Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool (1770-1828) is depicted on the left, his body covered in scales, his tail barbed, small horns growing from his forehead, cloven hooves, and an incorrectly placed star on his breast. He is holding out a paper with the words "Secret Inquiry" written on it and is making an exclamatory gesture with his extended arms. " May it please your — The precious Ore resists every Chemical attempt at deterioration— so the Virtue of injured Woman repels the touch of Slander & rises superior to its malevolence. I take Shame to myself at discomfiture—but the Princess is declared "Innocen!" Edward Law, 1st Baron Ellenborough (1750-1818) is seen behind Liverpool on the left, wearing a wig and a gown, and facing right with her fists clenched. "By Hell, I thought to shame the Rogues, but the d—d Brewer [Samuel Whitbread II (1764-1815), the Princess's champion] was too much for me," he says with a frown. "May it please your M—g—ty the Reports of the Physicians is admirably confused & equivocating & well calculated to meet the public eye!" bows Sir Henry Halford (1766-1844), who is positioned on the extreme left and has a huge, hooked nose. He holds a paper with the title "Medical monthly Report." The Regent (1762-1830) is pictured on the far right, sleeping in a cradle with the motto "Ich Dein" and three unkempt ostrich feathers on top. A decanter of "Curacoa" rests between his legs, and he is holding a doll meant for Isabella, Marchioness of Hertford (1760-1834) that has enormous breasts and a spikey crown. A ragged Irishman is seen in profile to the right, kneeling before the cradle and holding out a piece of paper titled "Catholic Claims." Wearing the Chancellor's wig and gown, John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon (1751-1838) kneels beside the cradle, offering the child his arms in defense against the Irishman. "Pat, take it easy or you'll wake up the Royal Conscience, who is currently sound asleep." he says. "By St. Patrick, but there's no risk of upsetting it as long as your Lordship is its Keeper," Pat responds. John Bull is standing behind Pat, his hands up in shock and his legs arched. He looks to the left and cries, " Mercy on me what have we hear, Conscience asleep! on the one hand & the Manufacture of Reports on the other— Is this the way I am bubbled?!" As though he is standing in the opening of a cave, rocks surround him.

[Council of Trent] Sacro Concilio Generale di Trento.
A. Schiavonetti Sc.
Trento presso Giuseppe Anton Marietti Librajo [Italian, n.d., c.1810.]
Engraving, 180 x 230mm. 7 x 9". Creasing; marginal chips and tears.
Locally-published image of the Council in session in Santa Maria Maggiore church, Trento, northern Italy; key below. As part of the Counter-Reformation, it is considered to be one of the Catholic Church's most important councils. It convened between December 13, 1545, and December 4, 1563 in 25 sessions. The council issued condemnations on what it defined as Protestant heresies and defined Church teachings in the areas of Scripture and Tradition, Original Sin, Justification, Sacraments, the Eucharist in Holy Mass and the veneration of saints. By specifying Catholic doctrine on salvation, the sacraments, and the Biblical canon, the Council was answering Protestant disputes.
