The Regent, seated sideways on his chair, is in back view, holding out his hand in an oratorical gesture towards a ragged and despairing John Bull, who stands hat in hand addressing him. He says: "Why you unatural Grumbler after I have done all I could to get rid of your Money you Still grumble did I not give you a Fète did I not Build you a Bridge did I not Treat you with a Smell of all the nice things at my Feast did I not sign the Corn Bill did I not refuse the [scored through] your Address have I not drank whole Pipes of Wine for fear it should be waste'd have I not spent all your money because you should not spend it your self have you not got the Income Tax to keep you sober, & as for your Dress the Thinner the better for the Sumer Season so Johnny go Home to work its all for the good of your Country." The Regent wears a powdered wig and whiskers, a tight-waisted coat with small pointed tails over very tight breeches, sleeves puffed at the shoulders. John has no coat, wears a tattered waistcoat, shirt, and breeches, has one ragged stocking with a pad over the knee, and one bare leg covered with a twisted straw rope, with dilapidated shoes, thus resembling a destitute day labourer instead of a 'cit' or farmer.

[After Thomas Rowlandson]
Publish'd February 1st 1799 by [Wright's name erased] for the Anti Jacobin Review. by J Whittle Peterborough Court Fleet Street.
Etching with fine hand colour. Sheet 305 x 460mm (12¼ x 18"). Trimmed within plate. Vertical crease as normal in centre where previously folded.
Satirical illustration from the ‘Anti-Jacobin Review’ (vol. ii, frontispiece) depicts a chaotic, hellish scene titled the Cave of Despair, where radical political figures are shown as demonic conspirators. A divine light from above drives away evil, symbolizing divine intervention against revolution and sedition. Three robed figures (wizards) prepare a grotesque potion in a cauldron inscribed with names and symbols of rebellion, such as Kosciuszko’s blade (1746-1817) and Fox’s (1749-1806) fur, while the Devil and a monster watch approvingly. Pamphlets promoting radical ideas like atheism, sedition, and insurrection fuel the flames beneath the cauldron, added by figures like Horne Tooke (1736-1812). A grim procession of opposition politicians, including Fox, Erskine (1750-1823), Tierney (1761-1830), and Thelwall (1764-1834), file into the cave, each uttering phrases of regret or defiance. Above them, the King (1738-1820) and ministers like Pitt (1759-1806) and Grenville (1759-1834) appear in divine light, symbolizing order and justice. Meanwhile, defeated demons including Robespierre (1758-94) and Voltaire (1694-1778) flee, and an ape dressed as a newsboy (symbolizing the radical press) sounds his horn, spreading seditious ideas. The scene is a visual condemnation of revolutionary ideology, radical journalism, and political opposition, portraying them as part of a satanic conspiracy against Britain.

Proof before title & publication line, engraving, 335 x 485mm (13¼ x 19"), with very large margins. Repaired tears to margins. Some surface dirt.
Seleucus giving up his wife for his son: classic interior with prince Antiochus I Soter lying ill on a canopied bed at right, his father Seleucus I pointing in despair at the crown and sceptre on a table at centre, his father's wife Stratonice standing by, the doctor Eristratos seen standing behind. Antiochus I Soter (c. 324/3 – 261 BC) was struck down by a mysterious illness. Erasistratus (c. 304 – c. 250 BC), Greek anatomist and royal physician under Seleucus I Nicator of Syria, realised that the illness of Antiochus was lovesickness for his stepmother Stratonice (c. 320 BC - 254 BC), by observing that Antiochus's pulse rate rises when ever he sees her. Seleucus I Nicator (c. 358 – 281 BC) gave up his young wife to save his son and in 294 BC Antiochus married his stepmother.
