Drawn by M.E. [Egerton] Eng.d by Geo. Hunt.
Pub. by Geo. Hunt, 18, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden [n.d., c.1825.]
Aquatint with fine hand colour. Sheet 310 x 240mm (12¼ x 9½"). Trimmed within plate.
A fish-faced man looks at a menu in a restaurant. This satire is an early example of product placement: on the wall behind is an advert for 'Charles Wright's Champagne', one of several references to the brand found in Hunt's satires. The cheapness of the champagne led critics to allege that it was not of French origin, causing Wright to sue. The first state: Thomas Mclean reissued this plate in 1827.

Taking Physick.
[by James Gillray.]
Coloured etching. Sheet 265 x 195mm (10½ x 7¾"). Trimmed to printed border, long tear taped. Damaged.
An invalid, with unbuttoned breeches and nightcap, standing before a fire drinking medicine from a bowl, pulling a face. One in a series (with 'Gentle Emetic', 'Brisk - Cathartic', 'Breathing a Vein' & 'Charming - Well again), all of which appear in Humphrey's shop window in Gillray's 'Very Slippy-Weather' (1808), alongside some of Gillray's more famous satires. As the display celebrates Gillray's domestic arrangements (it includes two prints in which Hannah Humphrey, Gillray's partner and publisher, is recognisable) it is conceivable that the patient in this satire is Gillray himself. The series certainly had significance for the caricaturist.

The Right Honourable Isabella Hamilton younger daughter of Henry David, Earl of Buchan. From an Original Picture in the possession of the Honb.le Thomas Erskine, To whom this Plate is most respectfully dedicated by his much obliged, very humble Servant James Walker.
Painted by G. Romney. Engrav'd by J. Walker
Publish'd as the Act directs March 6th, 1782, by J. Walker, No 51 Portland Street, Portland Place.
Fine mezzotint. 605 x 380mm (23¾ x 15"), with title printed from separate plate, 40mm x 380mm (1½ x 15"), large margins. Framed in a good Ellis & Smith frame. Trimmed to title plate at bottom. Unexamined out of frame.
Lady Isabella Erskine (d. 1824), daughter of Henry David Erskine, 10th Earl of Buchan. In 1770 she married William Leslie Hamilton, Attorney-General of the Leeward Islands. The American War of Independence caused them financial difficulties (he had to fund action to suppress gun-runners bringing arms from the Dutch islands) and Isabella left St Kitts for England in 1779. The following year her husband followed but died four days after his arrival. Their property was sent on another ship that was captured by the French. Between 1803 and 1809 she attempted to get compensation from the Government (with the help of Lord Nelson, who testified to the value of Hamilton's information before leaving for Trafalgar) but failed because much of the financial paperwork had been lost at sea. This print was published in 1782, two years after her husband's death, perhaps to aid her marriage prospects. In 1785 she married Rev. John Cunninghame, who became 15th Earl of Glencairn in 1791 According to a note on the mount, this example was presented by Lady Isabella Hamilton to 'Mrs Adams', referring to evidence on the back of the print.

[15 scenes set against French-style chateaux, gardens, grottos and fountains after Jean Lepautre.]
[Sold by Sam.l Sympson at his Print Shop in Catherine Street Strand] [n.d., c.1730.]
Set of 15 etchings, numbered in top margin in old ink mss, some have 18th century watermark. Each plate c. 220 x 305mm (8¾ x 12"). Paper toned; Pl. 7 with hole in image; Pl. 11 trimmed close to plate top right.
A collection of untitled plates etched by Jean Lepautre (1618-82), bought and republished by Samuel Sympson (fl. 1720-d.1751) in London. Although the focus of the plates is French-style architecture and garden designs, the subjects include at least one biblical subject: plate 1 is the baby Moses being presented to Pharaoh's daughter (BM 1929,0523.15). Probably issued as a guide for garden designers and architects. The BM records an advertisment in 'The Craftsman' (29 May 1732) offering for sale a volume of '164 different designs of the celebrated Master Le Potre', stating that 'The said Mr Sympson having purchased the plates from France, the prints will be sold at a very low rate'. Sympson moved from Catherine Street to Maiden Lane in 1732.
