Hard Times. Term Time. Worse and Worse, Semper Idem!!
Designed Etched & Published by George Cruickshank May 1st 1827.
Coloured etching. Sheet 270 x 370mm (10½ x 14½"). Some staining.
Five vignettes of poverty on one plate: a man's nose held to a grindstone; ragged beggars singing; a lawyer in front of the Law Courts giving the parties half an oyster shell each and keeping the oyster; a cleric in prison braking rocks; and a sleeping butcher in his almost empty shop. At the time England was suffering from the effects of the Corn Laws; by keeping the cost of corn high to protect the landowners the government caused extreme hardship for workers. Also, as they had to pay high wages in order for their workers to be able to eat, the laws were troublesome for the manufacturers.

[Two plates from 'Illustrations of Time']
Designed Etched & Published by George Cruikshank [1827]
Two etchings, each sheet approx. 275 x 290mm (10¾ x 11½"). Glued to opposite sides of same backing sheet.
Two sheets of images from 'Illustrations of Time' by George Cruikshank, published in 1827, including a real tennis scene. Cruikshank (1792-1878) was an English caricaturist and book illustrator. Cruikshank started out as a political satirist in the same vein as Gillray and Rowlandson, whose work was so powerful that in 1820 he received a royal bribe of £100 for a pledge not to caricature His Majesty King George III. In later life Cruikshank had a second career as a prolific book illustrator : 'Illustrations of Time' was one of several such volumes he published in the 1820s. From the 1840s onwards Cruikshank devoted much of his time towards championing temperance- his career therefore encapsulating the shift from Regency to Victorian morality.

The Duke stands between two posts, supporting himself by a hand on each. He looks down and to the right, with a dismayed expression, vomiting a cascade of munitions of war: weapons, cannon, drums, &c, a fortress, a baggage-wagon, a windmill. One post (right) is inscribed '4 Per Chaldron 20,000 pr Anm', the other, 'Heriditary Income D'Aubigne'. A scroll floats towards him from the upper left corner of the design inscribed: 'Thou hast done those things thou ought not to have done And hast left undone those things thou oughfi to have done.'

A Long Headed Minuet No. 12.

Pub. by T. Tegg, 111 Cheapside Feb.ry 13 1807.
Hand-coloured etching. Plate: 245 x 345mm (9¾ x 13¾"). Diagonal crease in top left corner.
A comic scene showing a room full of people with large heads, in the foreground a couple dance a minuet. 'Long Heads' developed from Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels'. According to Gulliver, Sythian women used to bind their children's heads so they would develop up rather than out, but eventually this became an inherited characteristic. The satire here is of people behaving artificially, following social convention rather than nature, like sheep.

The R-l Masquerarde. Letter of the Black Dwarf in London to the Yellow Bonze in Japan [...]
[By George Cruikshank; published by John Fairburn c.1818.]
Etching with hand-colouring, rare, sheet 215 x 260mm (8½ x 10¼"). Trimmed, losing long letterpress text below image.
Comprehensive satire on the prince Regent, his brothers and his ministers (as made explicit in the long letterpress text originally accompanying this text). The 'Black Dwarf' in the image is the short black man on the right. Etched by George Cruikshank (1792-1878). The son of a notable satirist (who died following a drinking match when George was only 19, leaving him as the family breadwinner), Cruikshank was a prolific and celebrated caricaturist from an early age. Alongside contemporaries such as Rowlandson and Gillray, he ridiculed the excesses of the Regent and his circle with devastating effectiveness (George IV eventually paid him 'not to caricature His Majesty in any immoral situation').

The Messenger of Peace.
[Isaac Cruikshank]
London Pub.d by SW Fores N.o 50 Piccadilly Oct.r 29. 1796.
Hand coloured etching, part watermark 1794; 310 x 420mm (12¼ x 16½"). Trimmed within plate mark. Hinged into mount at top corners.
The English mission advances humbly from the left, led by the English diplomat James Harris, 1st Earl of Malmesbury (1746-1820), who bows low before three of the Directors, who are seated haughtily on a platform. Behind them is a canopy on the back of which is a picture of Hercules trying in vain to break a bundle of rods; this is enclosed in a motto: 'Les Francais unis sont invincibles'. They wear an approximation to the official costume of the Directors: long cloaks with deep collars and feathered hats, but which deviates from correctness by its greater resemblance to that of a Spanish don: they wear ruffs over their collars, and breeches instead of the long-belted tunic and sash. The central Director says, with a scowl, "Now you have made your Bow retire till we order you in again Va-t-en"; he takes a pinch of snuff from his neighbour's box. The other two echo 'Va-t-en Va-t-en'; one contemptuously uses a toothpick, the other takes snuff. From Malmesbury's pocket hangs a paper inscribed 'Finesse'. His suite hold banners and all bend low except a man just behind him who carries on his head heavy bales, resembling folded textiles, but inscribed: 'A clear & explicit explanation of an intended Negotiation to procure an hon[or]able Just & Permanent Peace according to existing circumstances'. A sailor on the extreme left, erect behind the bowing diplomats, shouts "Aye, Aye, as clear as mud". He stands in the doorway, which is inscribed 'Directory'. The eight banners are respectively inscribed: '60,000 Foot Militia'; '200,000 Fencibles'; '60,000 Additional Seamen'; '40000 Horse 100,000 Yeomanry Cavalry'; 'Navy Victualling Exchequer Bills Funded'; '50 000 Game Keepers for Rifle Men'; 'Another Loan of 40.000.000'; 'Fortifications all round the Coast'. Malmesbury and five of his followers wear ribbons.

![[A Musical Assembly]](jpegs/61444.jpg)
[A Musical Assembly] Drawn by J. Farrer from the Original Picture by Hogarth.
Etched by G.Cruikshank [after Marcellus Laroon the Younger].
[n.d., 1819.]
Etching. Sheet 175 x 235mm (7 x 9¼"). Trimmed within plate, laid on album paper with letterpress title and description underneath.
The keyplate of a painting once believed to be by William Hogarth but is now attributed to Marcellus Laroon the Younger. It shows a fashionable salon during a 'musical assembly', with a key of 24 personages of whom only 12 are identified, with the central figure, '15', named as Lord Castlemain and '16' as Frederick, Prince of Wales (father of George III), with other members of the Royal Family. The letterpress describes how Hogarth painted the scene for Castlemain's house at Wanstead but was still in the painter's possession when he died. The painting, now in the Tate (T13316), is now attributed to Laroon (1679-1772) and the main figure identified as Charles Mordaunt (1658-1735), 3rd Earl of Peterborough, at a soirée at his house in Fulham. The only other identification the Tate suggests is the woman next to Mordaunt (14 here), ''possibly Anastasia Robinson, a distinguished singer then at the outset of her operatic career'', whom Mordaunt secretly married in 1722.

The Royal Beggars.
G. Cruikshank fect
Satirist February 1.st 1814.
Etching with hand colour, sheet 200 x 365mm (8 x 14½"). Frame size 370 x 515mm (14½ x 20¼"). Trimmed to coloured border and glued to a backing sheet. Unexamined outside of frame.
Plate from the 'Satirist', xiv. 89. A plump 'cit,' John Bull, sits astride the throne (left), holding an imperious and enraged sceptre. "Take the Vagrant impostors to Gaol," he says, gesturing to a row of five supplicants that includes Napoleon (1769-1821) and his brothers (on the right); "they are not Objects for Charity!!!" The British Lion stands next to the throne's double dais, holding a cannon and cannonballs. Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), a dapper man, follows, his left hand resting on his sword. Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte (1763-1844) is on the far left, with Tsar Alexander I (1777-1825) standing between and behind them. An intensely focused British sailor is on John Bull's left hand, holding a rope's end in his right hand and resting his left hand on an anchor; flags are behind him. A rudder and several commercial symbols, including casks, a large corded bale, a spade, and boxes of guineas, are at his feet. The Emperor of Austria (1768-1835) might be the person behind the sailor. The crown at the top of the throne is illuminated by light emanating from a female face that represents either Justice or Peace; the light is surrounded by thick canopy folds. Napoleon, malnourished and tattered, is seen on the far right and in the foreground, a pendant to Wellington, bowing low to John Bull doffing a rouge bonnet and displaying an agonized plea. There's a (patched) sack with his son on his back. The child is plumper than his father and wears a crown. "Take me from this Naughty Man who stole me & is not my Papa," he screams as his head, hands, and sceptre emerge from the sack. " "Pray pity a poor distressed Emperor, with two Wives & one helpless foundling Baby!" says Napoleon. He is sporting remnants of a uniform, with a swollen foot resting on the sole of a once-jack-boot. He leans on Joseph's (1768-1844) arm for support; both of them are equally dishevelled, wearing the remnants of a cut Spanish tunic with a ruff. "Look with an eye of Compassion on the poorest King of the Indies that ever lived," he says, holding a hat and a stick. Grabbing Joseph's other arm, the third brother says, "Charity for a wretch with also two wives & a small family," placing his right hand on Joseph's breast. His limbs protrude from his Dutch-style breeches. (The dress, however, represents Louis (1779-1844), the former king of Holland; the words refer to Jérôme of Westphalia (1784-1860), whose marriage to Elizabeth Patterson was dissolved by Napoleon so that he might marry Princess Catherine of Würtemburg.) The two others, Jérôme and Lucien (1775-1840), who is still in England, are less noticeable; they both bow down. One says: "A bone & a morsel of of [sic] Bread is all I can hope from your bounty benevolent Gentlemen." The last and smallest says: "Let me retire from Business with a little pension & I ask no more."
