A widow rides a black ram into a court full of laughing lawyers. An illustration of a ancient manorial custom in parts of England, relating to 'free bench', the widow's right to retain tenure of her late husband's land.

During the trial of Queen Caroline in 1820, Theodore Lane depicted her entering the House of Lords on a black ram with the face of her supposed lover, Bartolommeo Bergami (BM Satires 14013).

The painting, now in the Derby Museum and Art Gallery, was first exhibited in Wright's one-man show of 1785, following his break from the Royal Academy. In the catalogue that accompanied the first showing of the painting in London in 1785, Wright explained that it depicts the custom whereby the widow of a great Native American warrior would sit all day for a month beneath a memorial in the form of a tree on which were hung his weapons. Wright, as always, strove for accuracy in depicting his subject: here his source was James Adair's 'History of the American Indians' (1775), an important record of mid 18th-century life in America.

A pretentious man (left) sporting the latest Continental fashions boasts of a recent trip to France - partly in cod-French - and proudly refers to his new hair style. In window adverts for "Balm of Columbia the growth of hair" and "A fine young bear this day sold in pots". For the satirical series 'Funny Characters' published by William Spooner (1833 - 1847; fl.).

[Device of John Wight.] Welcom The Wight That Bringeth Such Light.
[n.d., c.1580.]
Woodcut. Sheet 90 x 75mm (3½ x 3"). Trimmed and backed onto album paper at borders
A publisher's device incorporating a portrait of bookseller and publisher John Wight (1549-89), who traded at the Sign of the Rose in St. Paul’s Churchyard, London, between 1549 and 1589 and published Shakespeare. He holds a book titled Scientia, which likely functions as a ''canting'' device (that is, an emblematic motif similar to a merchant’s mark), exploiting a pun on the surname: ''Welcome the Wight that bringeth such light.''
