The Bagshot Frolick or the Pot-Lid & Inkhorn.
[1762.]
Etching. Sheet 190 x 285mm (7½ x 11¼"). Trimmed within plate, affecting title.
A satire of the duel between John Wilkes and Lord William Talbot, fought on 6th October 1762 over Wilkes' mockery of Talbot in the 'North Briton'. Talbot holds a pot-lid and a spit, Wilkes a quill and and ink pot. Talbot is attended by Smollett while Wilkes is backed by Churchill. The duel was fought with pistols on Bagshot Common: despite firing at only eight yards, neither man was hit and the pair then went to a local tavern to share a bottle of claret. The lack of blood caused rumours that the duel was a stunt, inspiring satires such as this.

Jean-Sylvain Bailly (1736 - 1793), French astronomer and politician, and one of the leaders of the early part of the French Revolution. He served as the mayor of Paris from 1789 to 1791 and was ultimately guillotined during the Reign of Terror. As an astronomer, Bailly built an observatory in the Louvre and was noted for his computation of an orbit for Halley's Comet in 1759 and his study of Jupiter's moons He was elected to the Academy des Sciences in 1763 and befriended Franklin in Paris. Meanwhile, his antiquarian interests led to works on the history of astronomy and the origins of science (written in response to Voltaire's ideas on the subject), which gain him membership in the French Academy. Bailly's high public standing saw him made first President of the National Assembly- he stands above the crowd of deputies in David's famous painting 'the Tennis Court Oath'. However, his political authority had disappeared by the time he and Lafayette imposed martial law and had the national guard open fire on demonstrators on July 17 1791. Bailly resigned as mayor soon after but was later arrested and executed. His subsequent influence has been felt through his thesis about a Hyperborean Atlantis dating to before recorded history, which while mocked by Jules Verne in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea', was incorporated by Madame Blavatsky into the mythos of Theosophy.

Alfred Crowquill's Sketches From Jullien's Bal Masque. Smith Your Wife's In The Boxes!
Alfred Crowquill, delt. et lith. M & N. Hanhart, Impt.
Published by E. Sidebetham, 38, Burlington Arcade [n.d., c.1850].
Lithograph, sheet 266 x 203mm. Foxing and staining, trimmed to printed border.
Illustrations to Jullien's Bal Masque quadrille, by Alfred Henry Forrester, best known under the name of Alfred Crowquill (1804 - 1872). Louis Antoine Jullien (1812 -1860) conducted a series of winter season promenade concerts at the Covent Garden Theatre, which were highly successful; and on March 4th, 1844, the first bal-masqué given in England in the 19th century took place at Covent Garden under his auspices. In 1822 Forrester wrote for the Hive and in 1823 for the Mirror. He next applied himself to the study of drawing and modelling, as well as to wood and steel engraving. He was also the writer of burlesques, drew pantomimic extravaganzas for the pictorial papers, and exhibited pen-and-ink sketches in the miniature room of the Royal Academy in 1845 and 1846. For a time he contributed sketches to ‘Punch,' where his work will be found in vols. ii. iii. and iv., and then went over to the ‘Illustrated London News' as a member of the literary and pictorial staff. As a writer and illustrator of his own writings he was very popular; upwards of twenty works came from his pen, many of them being children's books. For some years the London pantomimes were indebted to him for designs, devices, and effects. In 1851 he modelled a statuette of the Duke of Wellington, which he produced a fortnight before the duke's death and presented to Queen Victoria and the allied sovereigns. At the time when he originally started as an artist there was not much competition, and he consequently found constant work. His works have enjoyed a considerable amount of popularity.
