Coloured lithograph. 306 x 445mm (12 x 17½"). Foxing and staining.

The enlarged bug, as drawn by Brougham, has the head of Sugden, in a barrister's wig, which is turned in profile to gaze apprehensively at the artist. On the table is a completed drawing of a gnat-like insect with a barrister's head; other drawings are on the floor: a grasshopper wearing a bishop's wig and mitre; a caterpillar and butterfly, each with a human head (the latter, with horn-like antennae, resembles Ellenborough). Under the large table are drawers for specimens, and behind Brougham is a glass case of big butterflies.

Prospectus Atrii Catadromi. Vista D'Una Sala Del Torneo.
[Published in Venice by Raimondini, n.d., c.1760.]
Hand coloured etching, image 290 x 410mm. 11½ x 16¼". Trimmed at lower platemark. Tatty extremities with tears, one just into image upper right. Scarce.
Spectators watch an exhibition of horsemanship or jousting tournament from the galleries of an decorated interior. A vue d'optique intended to be viewed through a convex lens. The devices, known variously as zograscopes, optiques, optical machines and peepshows, were an optical entertainment of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Vues d'optiques were rendered in high-key color and dramatic linear perspective, which enhanced the illusion of three-dimensionality when viewed through the lens. Possibly after Johann Elias Ridinger (1698 - 1767). Numbered 'P I.' lower left.
