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.).

[Collared Dove.]
[after William Hayes.]
[n.d., c.1794.]
Etching with fine hand colour. 440 x 310mm (17¼ x 12¼"), on laid paper watermarked 'G R'.
A fine etching from Hayes's 'Rare and Curious Birds Accurately Drawn and Coloured from Their Specimens in the Menagerie at Osterly Park', first edition. Hayes (1735-1802), a self-taught artist who had illustrated 'A Natural History of British Birds' in 1775, was commissioned to record the collection of live birds belonging to Robert and Sarah Child, the owners of Osterley. It was a family affair: he employed at least seven of his children as etchers, colourists and binders. The volumes were assembled when they were ordered, with the contents varying because of what has been called 'a production line of unrivalled chaos'. A second, posthumous edition was issued in 1817, 'published for the benefit of his family'.
