[Charles Grey] Tommy Grey with the Tail of His Order!!! Lork What a Long Tail our Cat has Got.
W.Heath.
Pub Feb 15 1831 by T.McLean 26 Haymarket.
Coloured etching. Sheet 240 x 345mm (9½ x 13½"). Trimmed within plate, to printed border at top. Slight loss top left corner.
Earl Grey depicted as a cat with a long tail, walking along a wall, with a fish marked 'First Lord of he Treasury 6000' in its mouth. This attacks the Prime Minister for his nepotism: along his tail are references to payments made to members of his family by the government. This satire pre-dates the Reform Act, referred to on a poster on the wall. The Duke of Wellington, an opponent of the Act, appears as a stick-figure piece of graffiti, waving a sword.

He always carries and umbrella, though he disclaims all connexion whatever with Paul Pry.

Irish M.P.s.
['Paul Pry' monogram of William Heath.]
Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket where political and other Caricature are daily publishing [n.d., c.1829.]
Hand-coloured etching, 260 x 370mm (14½ x 10¼"). Some small stains largely in margins but enters coloured border top right. Small margins top and bottom.
Political satire: an Irish schoolmaster-priest, sitting in a chair taking a pinch of snuff, teaches a dwarfish Irish peasant, ragged and barelegged. The peasant answers "O'C—for O'Connell thats right—now Pat what does MP stand for eh?" with: "Mealy Potato". The Irish nationalist politician Daniel O'Connell (1775 - 1847) was satirized as a potato by Heath in 1829 (see BM Satires 15684). By William Heath (1794/5 - 1840), ex-Captain of Dragoons, illustrator of colour-plate books, and prolific caricaturist. From 1827-9 he used the pseudonym Paul Pry (from the name of a character in a comedy of 1825 by John Poole, that became a tag used for any very inquisitive person), with the emblem of a small man holding a walking stick in a lower corner of his plates. This figure was soon copied by other caricaturists (eg Sharpshooter), and so from 1828 Heath began to sign his plates with his full name. He published regularly with Thomas McLean.
BM Satires undescribed.

The Rt. Honble. Lady Eleanor Butler & Miss Ponsonby "The Ladies of Llangollen". [Facsimile signatures below.]
Drawn on Stone by J.H. Lynch. Day & Haghe Lithrs. to the Queen.
Entd. at Stationer's Hall. [n.d., c.1835.]
Tinted lithograph. Sheet: 375 x 275mm (15 x 11"). Laid on album sheet with decorative border.
Touching portraits of Sarah Ponsonby (1755? - 1831), daughter of Chambre Brabazon Ponsonby, cousin of the Earl of Bessborough, and Lady Eleanor Charlotte Butler (1745? - 1829). They resolved to live together in complete isolation from society in a cottage at Plasnewydd in the vale of Llangollen, Denbighshire, north Wales. Their names were not known in the neighbourhood, and they were called 'the ladies of the vale.' They lived in complete seclusion for some fifty years, and neither left the cottage for a single night until their deaths. Their devotion to each other and their eccentric manners gave them wide notoriety. All tourists in Wales sought introduction to them, and many made the journey to Llangollen for the special purpose of visiting them. With their servant, Mary Caryll, who died before either of them, they lie buried in Plasnewydd churchyard under a triangular pyramid inscribed with their names. An Italian greyhound runs on the path in front of the two ladies; it has been noted that a succession of their pet dogs were named 'Sappho'.

The Ladies Hero or the Unfortunate James MacLeane Esq.r. Done from the Original late in the possession of M.r Salt Keeper of the Gate House.
Printed for T. Harrison. Publish'd according to Act of Parliament Sep.r 29. 1750.
Scarce hand-coloured engraving with etching. Sheet 340 x 250mm (13½ x 9¾"). Trimmed within plate, edge black-ruled, a few stains, mounted in album paper at edges. Horizontal crease left.
Full-length portrait of James MacLaine (1724-1750), grocer-turned-highwayman, with the mask he used as a disguise on the ground to the side. With his partner William Plunkett (a bankrupt apothecary), he committed 20 robberys in six months between Hounslow Heath and Hyde Park. His most famous victim was Horace Walpole, who was grazed by an accidentally-fired bullet. Captured, Maclaine was sent to trial at the Old Bailey, where his dashing good looks created a sensation: he reputedly received nearly 3,000 guests at Newgate before he was hung. His body was handed over to surgeons for dissection: his skeleton can be seen on display in the operating theatre in the last plate of Hogarth's 'Four Stages of Cruelty'. Plunkett is said to have escaped to Pennsylvania where he fought for independence.
