Tim Besom. Making a clear way for others, that he may clear a path for himself.
E.Y. Esq. del.t. Eng.d by G. Hunt.
Pubd March 1, 1827, by G. Hunt, Corner of York St. & Bridges St. Covent Garden.
Fine hand coloured etching and aquatint. Image 265 x 205mm (10½ x 8", on J. Whatman paper watermarked 1824. Diagonal creases to upper right corner; overall a fine, early impression.
'Tim Besom' is probably taken from the Glaswegian slang for "tink, annoying person, drinker"; the scene is set for the street sweeper to make sure the street is clear of any obstacles before holding out his hat to the ladies in hope of a gratuity. The "Rum" sign above the door in the background suggests where the funds would be spent. See item 11516 for an impression published by McLean.
BM Satires undescribed; Hickman p.109.

Aquatint with fine hand colour. Sheet 310 x 240mm (12¼ x 9½"). Trimmed within plate.
A fish-faced man looks at a menu in a restaurant.

22 coloured aquatint engravings. Each image c.95 x 67mm (3¾ x 2½"). Light foxing.
22 plates from 'Portraits of Winning Horses, a Series of Portraits of the Winners of the Derby, Oaks, & St. Leger, From the Year 1842 to 1849. Drawn from Nature and Engraved by Charles Hunt Esqr'. 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.

Hand-coloured etching with aquatint, sheet 360 x 205mm (14 x 8"). Cut and tipped into backing sheet. With possible printers crease.
Man in a restaurant rings its service bell, knocking over a candle in the process, seemingly in response to the sourness of his wine. 'As sour as verjuice [vinegar]' was a common simile, for instance "he looked at me as sour as verjuice" (Thomas Dekker, 'The Shoemaker's Holiday', 1600). After M Egerton (1821 - 1827; fl.), humorous designer and social satirist; apparently an amateur since he often signed as 'Esq'.
