[Falkland Crisis.] The Convention Makers.
[1771.]
Engraving. Plate: 120 x 190mm (4¾ x 7½").
A satire of the resolution to the Falkland Crisis of 1770-1. A painting titled 'A Convention' falls off a cornice marked 'National Honour', landing on four prostrate figures. In the picture an Englishman inscribed "Submission", with his hat under his arm, takes the hand of a Spaniard, inscribed "Reluctance", who turns his back. A third figure, "Indemnity", waves a ragged cloth perhaps intended for a map of the Falkland Islands.
On the 10 June, 1770, a Spanish fleet of five armed ships and 1400 soldiers forced the British to leave Port Egmont, their first settlement on the Falkland Islands, established by Byron in 1765. Outrage in Parliament pushed Britain towards war, but a secret deal was made that allowed Britain to return to Port Egmont as long as they abandoned it shortly after. In 1774 the British withdrew, for 'economic reasons'. BM Satire 4849.

A Map of the Falkland Islands in the Latitude of 51°, 22' South, Longitude 64°, 30' West.
J. Lodge Sculp.
Gent. Mag. Oct.r 1770.
Engraving. 180 x 250mm, 7 x 9¾". Folded, as issued.
Chart of the Falkland Islands, published in the Gentleman's Magazine to accompany an account of the confrontation between the Spanish and British over possession of the islands, which nearly led to full-scale war. As it was issued only six years after the founding of the first (French) colony, it is not very accurate, with West Falkland far too wide. The coastal profiles show the rocky islands on the approaches to Saunders Island, where the British had founded Port Egmont in 1766. A decade later the British abandoned Port Egmont because of the economic pressures of the build up to the American Revolution.

[Paris 1787.]
Engraving. 240 x 320mm, 9½ x 12½".
Map of the Falkland Islands after the map by John Strong, an English captain who traversed Falkland Sound in 1690. Sir Richard Hawkins (son of Sir John Hawkins of Spanish Armada fame) is credited with discovering the island in 1574, naming it Hawkins' Maidenland (after Elizabeth the Virgin Queen). However at that time he would have been aged twelve. In fact he visted the islands in 1594, preceded by Dutchman Sebald de Weert in 1600 and English explorer John Davis in 1592. Engraved by Bénard for a French edition of the Official Account of Cook's Voyages, which included accounts of other English explorers in the South Seas.

A Family Piece.
H.Bunbury Esq.r Delin. W.Dickinson Excud.t.
London, Publish'd October 15th 1781, by W.Dickinson No 158 New Bond Street.
Stipple, printed in sepia. 305 x 390mm (12 x 15¼"). Trimmed to printed border on three sides, mounted on album paper.
A portrait-painter painting a family group of a man and wife and their little boy who, despite wearing ordinary clothes, is holding a cupid's bow and a sheaf of arrows, probably a reference to the family portrait in Goldsmith's 'Vicar of Wakefield'. The adults hold doves; the boy yawns with boredom. A clipping from a printseller's catalogue, pasted underneath the print, suggests the bespectacled artist is a caricature of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Certainly the round glasses are similar to the ones worn in the Reynolds self-portrait in the Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery. BM Satires 5921.

Poverty in Ireland was becoming an increasing problem in the early 1820s and 1830s including periods of food shortages in the country. In 1834 the Poor Law Amendment Act was brought in to try and help deal with the issue and then in 1838 Lord Melbourne's government implemented the Irish Poor Act.
