[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.

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.

[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.)
