The Glorious Verdict of Cold Bath Fields; or, a Hard Pull for Justice. The Political Drama. No.7.
Printed and Published by G. Drake, 12, Houghton Street, Clare Market [c.1833]
Wood-engraving, sheet 280 x 440mm (11 x 17¼"). Creases and staining; holes; Centre crease as normal..
On 13 May 1833 young radicals clashed with police in the Coldbath Fields Riots in Clerkenwell, London during protests against the 1832 Reform Act (which, the demonstrators argued, didn't go far enough). Three policemen were stabbed during the clashes, one of whom later died, and in an inquest into the death, a jury of local shopkeepers and householders returned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide, arguing that the violence was provoked by the police's aggressive handling of the protest. In this print the jury (on the left) are involved in a tug-of-war against politicians, a judge- and the devil. Woodcut satire from 'The Political Drama', a series of 131 satires produced between 1833 and 1835 by Charles Jameson Grant (1830-52, fl.).

[Collared Dove.]
[after William Hayes.]
[n.d., c.1794.]
Etching with fine hand colour. 440 x 310mm (17¼ x 12¼"), on laid paper watermarked 'G R'.
A fine etching from Hayes's 'Rare and Curious Birds Accurately Drawn and Coloured from Their Specimens in the Menagerie at Osterly Park', first edition. Hayes (1735-1802), a self-taught artist who had illustrated 'A Natural History of British Birds' in 1775, was commissioned to record the collection of live birds belonging to Robert and Sarah Child, the owners of Osterley. It was a family affair: he employed at least seven of his children as etchers, colourists and binders. The volumes were assembled when they were ordered, with the contents varying because of what has been called 'a production line of unrivalled chaos'. A second, posthumous edition was issued in 1817, 'published for the benefit of his family'.

J. Reynolds pinx.t. Graham Sculp.
Printed for John Bowles, at the Black Horse in Cornhill, London [engraved c.1765 but published c.1790].
Mezzotint. 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾"), on wove paper. Narrow margins.
A half-length portrait of Lady Christiana Collier in the character of Caelia, despairing over her dead bird, with a verse in English and Latin. The verse is part of Catullus 3, a eulogy to the pet bird of his girlfriend, named Lesbia rather than Caelia. In 1763 Christiana Gwyn (b.1749) married Vice-Admiral Sir George Collier (1732-1795), who was best known for destroying the American fleet in Penobscot Bay in 1779, the worst naval defeat of the Americans until Pearl Harbour. They divorced in 1772. The engraver, George Graham, had emigrated to America by 1796 and is recorded working in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. It is likely that he put his name on a reworked plate, as John Bowles died in 1779, the year before the 16 year old Graham entered the RA School. Compare BM 1902,1011.2254 (proof before letters) and 1833,0610.19 (signed by Graham).

[Sold at the Golden Head near the Church Bloomsbury][n.d. c.1750]
Rare mezzotint, 18th century watermark; sheet 375 x 275mm (14¾ x 10¾"). Trimmed losing publication line. Tipped into album paper at sides. Repairs at bottom.
Three-quarter length of a woman leaning on the rim of a fountain. She wears a dress and her cloak is hung across her with a string of pearls. John Faber the Younger (c.1684-1756) also produced a larger, more detailed engraving after the painting, in reverse: see CS 87. Chaloner Smith suggests Jane Collier could be the sitter, adding that Bromley's identification of the lady as a courtesan, also known as Miss Stewart, has not been corroborated. Jane Collier (1714 - March 1755) was an English novelist best known for her book An Essay on the Art of Ingeniously Tormenting (1753). She also collaborated with Sarah Fielding on her only other surviving work The Cry (1754). Or as identified by the British Museum the first wife of the Honble James Murray, son of the 4th Lord Elibank (q.v.) who died at Beauport (1779).
