Ingenious Cocker! (Now to Rest thou'rt Gone Now Art can Show the fully but thine own. The rare Arithmetick alone can Show Th' vast Sums of Thanks wee for thy Laboure owe.
[n.d. c.1660.]
Engraving. 120 x 82mm. 4¾ x 3¼". Crease through centre.
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.

Plate 1 of a set of four by the same artist, imitations of a set by James Gillray (see 7773), but with the addition of a third man, who wears fashionable London dress, and has a blunderbuss and a small mongrel. The fat city sportsman has a bulldog with a spiked collar. They find a hare, crouching by a tree. Lettered below image with speech of characters; fat man says 'you may as well let me try', the next man raises his blunderbuss to smite, saying, 'No No I'm sure I can knock him down with the butt end'. The third man (to right) says to the dogs: 'hey at him there.' By Charles Williams (1797 - 1830). He was a prolific etcher of satires of his own or others' designs (especially Woodward). Almost all his plates are anonymous and their identification needs much more work: many of the attributions to him by Dorothy George need to be revisited.

The Glorious Verdict of Cold Bath Fields; or, a Hard Pull for Justice. The Political Drama. No.7.
Printed and Published by G. Drake, 12, Houghton Street, Clare Market [c.1833]
Wood-engraving, sheet 280 x 440mm (11 x 17¼"). Creases and staining; holes; Centre crease as normal..
On 13 May 1833 young radicals clashed with police in the Coldbath Fields Riots in Clerkenwell, London during protests against the 1832 Reform Act (which, the demonstrators argued, didn't go far enough). Three policemen were stabbed during the clashes, one of whom later died, and in an inquest into the death, a jury of local shopkeepers and householders returned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide, arguing that the violence was provoked by the police's aggressive handling of the protest. In this print the jury (on the left) are involved in a tug-of-war against politicians, a judge- and the devil. Woodcut satire from 'The Political Drama', a series of 131 satires produced between 1833 and 1835 by Charles Jameson Grant (1830-52, fl.).
