London, Pub. by Harrison Isaacs, Charles St Soho Sq.re. [n.d., c.1832.]
Fine coloured aquatint, very large margins. 235 x 190mm (9¼ x 7½").
A satire from an English edition of Edward William Clay's 'Life in Philadelphia', with two black Philadelphians, both over-dressed à la mode, discuss the weather. Clay, inspired by Edward Cruikshank's 'Life in London' series, published his 'Life in Philadelpia' series from 1828-1830. Of the fourteen aquatints ten were satires on the black populace (who were freed when Pennsylvania banned slavery in 1780), which did much to enforce the negative stereotypes held even in the free North. Very popular, they inspired these copies, published in London.

Recruiting Party. Now's Your Time My Lads- Whigs & Tories - Christians, Jews & Turks- no distinction made.
[Monogram of Paul Pry - John Phillips?] Esq.r.
Pub. by S. Gans 15 Southampton St. Strand.
Etching with fine hand colour. Sheet 240 x 345mm (9½ x 13½"). Trimmed to printed border, laid on album paper.
Wellington, dressed in his military uniform salutes, to George IV. Beside Wellington stands James Scarlett, into whose hand Wellington places a coin marked 'Attorn[ey]'. George IV's mistress Lady Conyngham drums as Robert Peel plays the flute. Wellington found it difficult to gather ministers once elected, so this satire suggests that he was bribing Scarlett, who had resigned from the post of Attorney-General when Wellington came to power in 1828, to return. This a pirated copy of William Heath's satire, even copying his Paul Pry monogram, probably by John Phillips.
See BM Satire: 15812 for Heath's original.
