Trade card for Thomas Sandby, depicting the daughter of Dibutades embracing her lover and outlining his shadow on the wall, while he holds a lamp on the left. Thomas Sandby (1721-1798) was a self-taught draftsman who, with his brother Paul took up positions in the military drawing department at the Tower of London. Thomas was sent first to the Battle of Dettingen and then to Culloden as draughtsman to the Duke of Cumberland. In 1747, under the Duke, he was appointed Deputy Ranger of Windsor Great Park to which he devoted considerable energy in improvements. He was also involved in the London art world and with his brother he was one of the founder members of the Royal Academy in 1768. He was elected their first professor of architecture and later architect of the King's works. In reality, he built few buildings and was more respected for his architectural theory.

One of three satires on the Corporation of Windsor, Slingsby was associated with underhand dealings in connexion with works at Windsor Castle. A stout alderman is seated in a two-wheeled farm-cart, embracing an enormous pig which sits on a livery-gown. The cart is drawn by five men and pushed behind by two others. The foremost, 'Rim--n' (Rimington of Windsor (fl. 1790)), carries a banner on which is a fat pig inscribed 'Corperation Hog Admitance 6d Each Painted by R--m--ngt--n'; he says, "The greatest likness possible all my own". The next is 'Par--r' (Parker of Windsor (fl.1790) possibly Edward Parker mayor of Windsor 1799 & 1811), saying, "give me a Hodd again this is too hard work". Next is a beefeater, 'Pant--n' (possibly James Panton mayor of Windsor 1783 & 1788), in his shirt-sleeves, saying, "How I sweat I'll sell my share for ten Guineas I'm so d--nd Hungry". The next, holding a whip, is 'Bany--d' (possibly John Banyard Mayor of Windsor 1790) ; he says, "Ge up my Lads a heavy fare this". The last man, wearing a livery gown, is 'Sling--y' (Slingsby of Windsor (fl. 1790) possibly John Slingsby Mayor of Windsor 1792, 1798 & 1801); he holds a trowel and says "I had rather rightebuild London Bridge than fagg so". The cart is inscribed 'Ban--d Windsor"; the pig says "I am so tired siting like an Alderman". The alderman answers "And I too Brother, Lord how they laugh at us no Cutting or slashing". He wears a livery gown and Dorothy George reckons from BMSat 7739 to be 'Sn--w' (possibly Joseph Snow who was Mayor of Windsor 1770, 80, 86, 89 & 96). The two who push behind are 'Perr--n' (possibly Paul Perryman Mayor of Windsor 1793 & 1801) and 'Bend--g' (possibly Joseph Bending Mayor of Windsor 1781, 85 & 94); the former says, "I'll go measure Tape this is too hard work". The other, who wears a cocked hat and livery gown, says, "I'm tired of shoving I used to drive my Pigs." A grinning country boy stands behind, saying, "Birds of a feather flock together". He grasps a signpost, pointing left 'To Smitfield' and right 'To Windsor'.

Frederick and Augusta, Prince and Princess of Wales, descending from a carriage at the shore of Virginia Water, where the Royal Barge waits. They are being guided by his brother, William, Duke of Cumberland, who was Ranger of the Park. From the folio 'Eight Views of Windsor Great Park' by Thomas Sandby (1723-98), engraved by his younger brother Paul (1731-1809). Thomas Sandby had been private secretary and draughtsman to Cimberland since 1743, and when Cumberland was made Ranger Thomas was made his deputy and invited Paul to live with him. While Thomas laid out improvements to the Park, including the creation of Virginia Water from a stream, he drew these eight scenes which Paul then engraved. In this case examination of the preparatory drawing (now in the British Museum) has led experts to believe Paul drew the figures. The series was reissued by Boydell in 1772 with his address added.
