John Boydell excudit 1778. Published May 1st. 1778, by John Boydell, Engraver, in Cheapside London.
Stipple engraving, 295 x 255mm. Light surface soiling.
Clytia (or Clytie) was a water nymph, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys in Greek mythology. She was loved by Apollo. Apollo, having loved her, abandoned her for Leucothea and left her deserted. She was so angered by his treatment that she told Leucothoe's father, Orchamus, about the affair. Since Apollo had defiled Leucothoe, Orchamus had her put to death by burial alive in the sands. Clytie had wanted Apollo back and had wanted to win him back by taking away his new love, but her actions only hardened Apollo's heart against her. She sat naked, with neither food nor drink, for nine days on the rocks, staring at the sun, Apollo, and mourning his departure. After nine days, the suffering turned her yellow and brown, and she was transformed into a sunflower (some researchers claim heliotrope or marigold), which turns its head always to look longingly at Apollo's chariot of the sun. This story is told in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Hand coloured aquatint with large margins. Platemark: 240 x 285mm (9½ x 11¼").
An interior view of the Coal Exchange, Thames Street, London. A coal exchange was established in 1770 near the site of Smart's Quay and close to Billingsgate Market. The market was established by the main coal merchants as a private body to regulate the trade of coal in the capital, and was controlled by a private coal merchant until the old Coal Exchange was bought by the Corporation of London in 1807. A new building had been built in 1805, with a recessed classical portico supported by small Doric pillars and triangular pediment above, as seen in the centre of the image. Under the control of the City Corporation, the Coal Exchange became a free and open market, regulated by various Acts of Parliament. Published in Ackermann's famous work, the 'Microcosm of London'; the figures were drawn by the famous caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson and the architecture by Augustus Pugin.

[William Huntington] The Sale of the Coal . Heavers . Scraps!!
J.C. [C.J?] fecit.

Coloured etching. Sheet 290 x 470mm (11½ x 18½"). Framed. Trimmed into images at sides, original folds. Unexamined out of frame.
A satire of the death of William Huntington (1745-1813), a 'coal heaver' (i.e a furnace-feeder) turned strict Calvinist preacher. It shows an auction of his property, held outside his house in Pentonville, showing how wealthy this man of God had become. His supporters paid absurd amounts: according to the BM description ''an "old arm chair" intrinsically "worth fifty shillings", actually sold for "sixty guineas"''. To the left is Huntington's tombstone, with his own epitaph: ''Here lyes the Coal Heaver [...] beloved of his God but abhorred of men'' continued with adaptation... 'having amased many thousands..''. Under the table is a grinning devil. Published in the 'Scourge'.
