The Pitmens Union, 1832.
[Anon., 1832.]
Etching, sheet 225 x 280mm. 9 x 11". Trimmed close to plate.
A group of six representing the coal-owners faces a spokesman of the miners (right) on an open moor. Behind the former are a few soldiers with bayoneted muskets and one or two constables or magistrates; behind the latter is an immense procession of well-dressed pitmen, carrying banners, the two leaders being in the foreground on the extreme right. Between the two parties stands a man in top-boots, identified in pencil below as Thomas Easton, who says to the owners: 'Gentlemen these Fellows say they won't dissolve their Union I can make nothing of them'. The most prominent of the owners can be individually identified, notably the group includes Tory MP Matthew Bell. Behind them are two others, unidentified, one saying, 'Oh! the Fools'. Two of the many banners have inscriptions: 'Patience & Perseverance Will Recover Our Rights and ‘United To Relieve And Not To Injure'. The long procession recedes in perspective; on the skyline beyond is a pithead building with a tall chimney. During the great strike of Durham and Northumberland miners in the spring of 1832, the owners made recognition of the Union the only issue.

The Medallion. Behold his Bust, who saved our State ...
[William Hoare] [Francis Hayman]
London printed & Sold by R. Withy at the Dunciad in Cornhill. [n.d. c.1762]
Engraving, sheet 350 x 230mm (13¾ x 9"). Trimmed within plate. Slight foxing.
A satire on Pitt’s (1708-78) resignation and the peace talks with France: Britannia weeps over Pitt’s portrait, her weapons discarded. To the left, a Frenchman hands £10,000 to two Spaniards; to the right, officials watch as chests marked for the French ambassador Bussy (1699-1780) are filled with money. A letter to the Duke of Bedford (1710-71) lies nearby, while idle warships sit in harbour despite a fair wind, symbolizing Britain’s abandoned strength. The design for this print is attributed to Hayman (c. 1708-76) on stylistic grounds although it is not included in Allen's catalogue. The portrait of Pitt is after William Hoare of Bath (1707-92).

Pub Mar. 8. 1797. by S. W. Fores No 50, Piccadilly, corner of Sackville S.t. [n.d. c.1797]
Hand coloured etching, 18th century watermark, sheet 305 x 235mm (12¼ x 9¼"). Trimmed within plate on right. Small margins on 3 sides.
Satire on the British Bank Restriction Act 1797. Pitt bestrides a saddle on top of the Speaker's chair, he wears top-boots in place of shoes, and looks down at the Opposition instead of at his own supporters. Instead of bulging coat-pockets, saddlebags are strapped to a belt round his waist; one (left) is 'Resources for Prosecuting the War'; from it hang strips of paper: '20s British Assignats 40s D.o 10s D.o 5s D.o 2.6. D.o'. Rolled documents also project from it: 'St Georges Volunteers', 'Yeomanry Fencibles', 'Supplementary Cavalry', 'Supplementary Militia.' On the other bag, 'Remains of the Gold & Silver Coin', Pitt arrogantly rests his left hand. With the spur on his left top-boot he gashes Fox, so that a stream of blood pours from his side; he and the other leaders of the Opposition are terrified, Sheridan and Erskine amoung them. Pitt's right boot is not spurred; beside and behind it are the ranks of the Ministerialists, kneeling in alarmed and bewildered supplication. Dundas in Highland dress stands with his hands on his hips with Wilberforce next him. The Speaker looks straight before him, holding up both hands; the clerks write, each turning towards the group of members next him.
