John Peel, the Cumbrian huntsman. Numbered 72/100 and signed in pencil by Joseph Simpson (1879 - 1939), painter and etcher of portraits and sporting subjects. Simpson was born in Carlisle and studied art at Glasgow School of Art. He became a close friend of D.Y. Cameron and was elected RBA in 1909. Simpson designed covers for Edinburgh publishers and was a prolific designer of bookplates. In 1918 he became an official war artist for the RAF and was stationed in France. Simpson was already forty-five when he took up etching in 1925, at the height of the boom period for the medium. His first twenty or so plates were etched with a gramophone needle and printed by the artist himself on the small press lent to him by a local Carlisle printing firm. His first exhibition of etchings took place in Glasgow at Wishart Brown in March 1926. His friend Frank Brangwyn wrote the catalogue introduction. A second highly successful show was staged in November 1926 by Alex, Reid and Lefevre in London. Simpson exhibited in Munich, Venice, Florence & Stockholm.

Pub March 7th 1829 by T McLean 16 Haymarket where political & other caricatures are daily Publishing.
Hand-coloured etching. Plate 266 x 362mm (10½ x 14¼"). Very large margins.
Satire on the election after Sir Robert Peel resigned his Oxford University seat during Catholic Emancipation (as he had stood on a platform of opposition to Emancipation and had since changed his position). Peel was nominated for re-election but was defeated by Sir R.H. Inglis. Here Inglis is shown as an obese Oxford don in the centre, charming a yokel John Bull and holding a peeled orange inscribed 'Inglis', from which he discards the 'Peel' which is about to fall into a slough inscribed 'Westbury Close Sink of Iniquity / Impurity of Elect—Bribery—Corruption'. In this bog can be seen the head and shoulders of Sir Manasseh Masseh Lopes, who says 'if you will let me out there's plenty of room for your peel'. Following Peel's defeat by Inglis, the government had to ask Lopes to vacate his pocket borough at Westbury in Peel's favour (Lopes resigned for an undisclosed sum).
