[Apocrypha Combatants. Being a Series of Twelve Caricatures, Illustrative of that Controversy.]
[Published by Thomas Sinclair, West Regester Street Edinburgh, n.d., 1828.]
Oblong quarto, original card covers, stitched, ink mss. title, rubbed; 16 lithographs (5 with old colour) from the two 'Apocrypha Combatants' series (1-5, 8-12 of the First Series, 1-6 of the second series; and six further lithographs in the same style. Lacking title sheets. Scarce collection. Some wear, one of the extra plates with a tear into image.
A scarce series of caricatures satirising the controversy over which of the Apocrypha should be included in the bible. Andrew Mitchell Thomson (1779–1831) resigned from the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1824, on the grounds that they had bound up the Apocrypha with the Bible. He used his ‘Christian Instructor’ to condemn them, creating this controversy, lasting until 1836. Apocrypha means 'hidden things' in Greek. The Apocryphical books of the Bible fall into two categories: texts which were included in some canonical version of the Bible at some point, and other texts of a Biblical nature which have never been canonical. Thomas Sinclair (1805-81), born in the Orkney Isles, studied lithography in Edinburgh. He had emigrated to Philadelphia by 1833, where he worked for Kennedy & Lucas before setting up his own firm in 1838. He was one of the first printers in Philadelphia to experiment with colour lithography.
See BM Satire: 15573, etc. As the BM only has 1-6 of the second series it is unlikely more were published (they have only a photostat of plate 2.)

In the very midst of the Session, before the Ways and Means have been voted to carry on the expenses of the Government, after the Chancellor of the Exchequer has failed in all his financial measures...Are you prepared to enter upon the evils of perpetual change,-to heave no security against the excesses of popular violence or military despotism-against private or public oppression-against the malice of the powerful, or the reckless fury of the multitude? For, be assured, that the tempest which shakes the Throne, leaves no tenement, however humble, secure!! Be Wise In Time!!

The April Fool consigned to Infamy and Ridicule.

Pubd April 1st 1801 by S W Fores 50 Piccadilly. Folios of Caricatures lent out for the Evening
Etching with hand-colouring, platemark 280 x 390mm (11 x 15¼"). 18th century watermark. Trimmed to platemark.
The titular April Fool (possibly John James Hamilton, first marquis of Abercorn) stands with his arms around two women, wearing handbands labelled 'Ridicule' and 'Infamy'. On the right a third woman gestures towards the scene, proclaiming 'I have made him a fixed figure for the hand of Scorn to point her slow-moving finger at'. Etching by Charles Williams (1797 - 1830, fl.), prolific etcher of satires from his own designs and those of other artists (especially Woodward). Almost all his plates are anonymous and little work has been done to establish for certain which prints he made. As a result Williams is little-known in comparison with contemporaries such as Rowlandson and Gillray in spite of the comparable quality of some of his work.
