The Dis-Organist. HB Sketchs No.571.
HB [John Doyle.] A. Ducote's Lithogy.
Published by T. Mc.Lean, 26, Haymarket 29.th Jany. 1839.
Coloured lithograph. 284 x 419mm (11¼ x 16½"). Some toning.
A musical image showing Lord Durham playing the organ discordantly, with Lord Roebuck blowing the bellows. Lord Brougham (far right) has put the instrument out of tune; at left, a woman (Queen Victoria) and a man (Lord Melbourne) are shocked by the noise. It was universally believed that Lord Durham had come home from Canada in a towering rage, and would give full vent to his feelings as soon as the opening of the Session of Parliament should afford him an opportunity. In this belief he is here represented playing "a can(n)on" on the organ. Mr. Roebuck, who, as the agent in this country of the Canadian House of Representatives, took a very large share in every debate on Canadian questions, is engaged in the humble office of blowing the bellows; but the united efforts of Lord Durham and himself produce nothing but discord.

Cartoon illustrating the rivalry between Disraeli and Gladstone. The election of 1 April 1880 saw the conservative party under Benjamin Disraeli fall to the Liberals, under William Gladstone. They hated each other, a fact noticeable to all, including Queen Victoria. Gladstone stayed from 1880 until 1885 when he resigned and declined the Queen's offer of an Earldom. His 5 years saw an increase in war and bloodshed including the fall of General Gordon in Khartoum in 1885.

Shows Mother & child escaping a fire in ancient Rome. Stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) after his frequent collaborator Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727-85). Bartolozzi (1725-1815) was born in Florence but migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This impression from the collection of Dr. Augusto Calabi of Milan, art historian who co-authored (with A.B. de Vesme) the authoritative catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work.
