Plate from the Satirist, iii. 337. Crouching on the floor of his cave is William Cobbett (1763-1835), a monster whose bare trunk ends in two scaly snake tails. Spikes sprout from behind his head and shoulders, meant for a porcupine's quills. A few of them dart toward a cave opening where Cobbett is exposed to sunlight through a sun-inscribed "Monthly Meteor." Holding up a quill, he flinches in fear and raises a "Veil of Infamy" with his left hand. Above an open book, the words "Memoranda of Infamy" are suspended. The quills take off in the direction of the "Monthly Meteor," but they fall back when they get to the cave's opening. The words "Rage," "Lies," "Vulgar," "Abuse," "Envy," "Lies," "Disappointment," and "Malice" are inscribed on them. John Horne Tooke (1736-1812) and Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet (1770-1844) are the two other monsters on the right side of the cave. They are slender, nude animals with webbed wings, a tail, and talons. They have an open book with the words "Cobbetts Register 1802 - Sr F Burdett a Seditious Demagogue, Mr Pitt a God, Horne Tooke a Devil, Loyalty, England Happy" written on it, and they are pushing it over a large bonnet rouge that reads "Jacobin's Extinguisher." Rays from the "Monthly Meteor" strike Burdett. Two open books stand in front of Cobbett: 'Cobbetts Register 1807 - Sr F Burdett a God. Mr Pitt a Devil. Horne Tooke an Angel. Sedition England at her last Gasp.' and 'Instructions from Lord Edward Fitzgerald.' BM Satires 11049.

The Cock Lane Ghost.
[n.d., c.1762.]
Etching. Sheet 90 x 150mm (3½ x 6"). With three wood engravings and seven 18th century newspaper clippings on the same subject. Trimmed to printed border, laid down and mounted over, laid on album paper.
Rare item. A man enters a room to be confronted by a ghostly woman. 'The Cock Lane Ghost' seemed to haunt William Kent, a usurer from Norfolk who, after his wife Elizabeth had died in childbirth, had taken up with his sister-in-law, Fanny. They moved to London as man and wife, and took lodgings in Cock Lane, in the house of Richard Parsons, a parish clerk. Kent loaned Parsons 12 guineas, to be repaid at a rate of a guinea per month. Then strange noises started to be heard in the house, after which a visitor reported seeing a ghostly white figure ascend the stairs. After a lull Fanny died of smallpox and the knockings resumed. With John Moore, rector of St Bartholomew-the-Great in West Smithfield, Parsons devised a method of communication with the spirit: one knock for yes, two knocks for no. The spirit suggested that the ghost that had scared the vistor was Elizabeth and the latest was Fanny, both of whom had been poisoned by William Kent. Thus Kent fell under public suspicion as a murderer but, protesting his innocence, allowed séances to be held, one attended by Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany, 30th January 1762. Eventually a committee (including Samuel Johnson) declared the haunting a hoax, stating the knockings were caused by Parsons' daughter Elizabeth. They were sentenced in 1763.

Colour photogravure, Limited to 100 signed proofs, image 210 x 355mm. 8¼ x 14". Sheet trimmed and laid to card.
Cocker Spaniels. Maud Alice Earl (1864 - 1943) was an eminent British-American canine painter. Her works are much enjoyed by dog enthusiasts and also accurately record many breeds. Earl was the born in London, the daughter of artist George Earl and his first wife Alice Beaumont Rawlins. Maud's profession was the continuation of a family tradition. George Earl, an avid sportsman and noted sporting painter, was his daughter's first teacher and had his daughter study the anatomy of her subjects, drawing dog, horse and human skeletons to improve her skill. She later said that her father's instruction had given her ability that set her apart from other dog painters. After her father's tutelage Maud went on to study at Royal Female School of Art (later incorporated into the Central School of Art). Earl became famous during the Victorian Era, a time when women were not expected to make their living at painting. Nevertheless, she developed a select clientele, including Royals amongst her patrons such as Queen Victoria and Queen Alexandra. Although evidently extremely successful in England, Earl felt that the world she knew had been destroyed by World War I and she emigrated to New York City in 1916. By this time her work had received wide international recognition and her popular images were published in a number of books and in print form. The Sportsman's Year featured twelve of Earl's works as engravings. Maud Earl died in New York in 1943 and is buried at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York. For the 'Sportsman's Year'.

Ingenious Cocker. (Now to Rest thou'rt Gone Noe Art can Show the fully but thine own. They rare Arithmetick alone can Show The vast Sums of Thanks wee for they Laboure owe.)
[n.d. c.1847.]
Engraving. 121 x 78mm.
Edward Cocker (1631-1676) was an English engraver who also taught writing and arithmetic. Cocker was the reputed author of the famous Arithmetick, the popularity of which has added a phrase ("according to Cocker") to the list of English proverbialisms. He is credited with the authorship and execution of some fourteen sets of copy slips, one of which, Daniel's Copy-Book, ingraven by Edward Cocker, Philomath (1664), is preserved in the British Museum. Samuel Pepys, in his Diary, makes very favourable mention of Cocker, who appears to have displayed great skill in his art. Cocker's Arithmetick, the fifty-second edition of which appeared in 1748, and which passed through over 100 editions in all, was not published during the lifetime of its reputed author, the first impression being dated 1678. Augustus de Morgan in his Arithmetical Books (1847) argues that the work was a forgery of the editor and publisher, John Hawkins. Ruth Wallis, in 1997, wrote an article in Annals of Science, claiming DeMorgan's analysis was flawed and Cocker was the real author.
