The Wrangling Friends or Opposition in Disorder. I think myself justified in Saying this, because I do Know that there are People in this Country avowedly endeavouring to Disorder its Constitution its Government & that in a very Bold Manner - Vide Burk's Speech -
JN[ixon] [on right side]
Pub.d May 10 1791 by S W. Fores N.o 3 Piccadilly.
Rare hand-coloured etching, 270 x 370mm (10¾ x 14½"). On 18th century watermarked paper. Trimmed within plate. Damaged.
A satire on the famous scene between Fox and Burke on 6 May, which resulted in their permanent estrangement. In the House of Commons, Fox (1749-1806) and Burke (1729-97) stand side by side before a visibly agitated assembly. The Speaker (Henry Addington, 1st Viscount Sidmouth (1757-1844)), just risen, watches from behind. Fox faces forward, weeping openly, handkerchief raised, lamenting the betrayal of 25 years’ friendship with Burke. A boy collects his tears in a bucket. Burke, turning away but glaring over his shoulder, curses Fox with a line invoking “Black Spirits & White…” while holding documents titled French Constitution and Treason Conspiracy Poor Old England. Papers labeled Bastile and Queen of France stick out of his pocket, and he tramples a paper titled Canada Bill. A demon fans his head with bellows, producing a cloud. The Speaker remarks it is the first time Fox has ever wept. On the Opposition side, Sheridan (1751-1816) demands order, accusing Burke of betraying a friend, while another man calls for “mops & pails,” and a youthful-looking member shouts “perfectly in order.” On the government side, Pitt (1759-1806) observes calmly, wishing the pair would fight to be rid of them, while another MP calls for the chair.

A very damaged impression of this rare print showing satirical portrayal of Napoleon running from Elba to Paris as a fox with a human head and brandishing a sword. A stream of geese guided by a courier also fly from Elba to the Congress of Vienna, depicted in the inset in the top left corner as seven birds. Four of the birds have human heads, who can be identified in respective anti-clockwise order as the Alexander I of Russia, Frederick William III of Prussia, the emperor of Austria, and finally Wellington. The mounted officer atop Elba is likely Col. Neil Campbell, the British Comissioner in Elba. On either side of the land refugees can be seen desperately escaping by boat.

Hand coloured etching, sheet 245 x 385mm (9½ x 15¼") on paper watermarked '1793'. SW in ink on right bottom. Trimmed within plate. Very slight central crease. Right corner missing.
A satire on the dinner to Charles James Fox (1749-1806) on 10th October 1800. The actual tenor of the speech is ignored, except for Fox's contention that he had always been faithful to the principles of 1688, and his rejoicing at the success of America. Fox's inconsistency was a favourite topic (chiefly in relation to the Coalition and the Regency), as was the allegation that his supporters in Westminster were the riff-raff of the district. Fox presides at a dinner of ragamuffins. He stands at the head of the table with a paper titled 'Resolution' before him. There are also pipes, papers of tobacco, measures of Gin, tankards of ale, and one guttering candle. The guests are ruffianly vagabonds and include a chimney sweep, a man with a bludgeon, a ragged butcher with a mastiff representing the band of butchers who supported Fox at elections, possibley a sewer-man who holds an axe and a candle-end alight on the peak of his cap, and a bearded Jew is on the extreme left indicating his (former) indebtedness to Jews. A ragged man (right) fills the pot of a ruffian with a bandaged eye from a tankard inscribed 'The Kings Head C.I.F.'

Ye Execution of ye Foxe Poisoner at Lobro'
[Leicestershire, c.1874.]
Lithograph, sheet 305 x 230mm. 12 x 9". Folds, as normal.
An extremely scarce locally-printed satire attacking a parliamentary candidate for Leicestershire, who is depicted strung up from a lamp-post by foxes. In the background is a pack of hounds marshalled by huntsmen, in the lower right foreground the heads of two of the candidates' lamenting supporters, weeping into their handkerchiefs. The hanging rope is weighed down by a weight inscribed 'publick opinion'. The print clearly relates to three broadsides authored by a local hunt supporter who urges his fellow constituents to return the two incumbent Tory MPs at the ballot box and not a candidate who he feels threatens the future of fox hunting in North Leicestershire.

Fine portrait of a fox terrier in a landscape. Arthur Wardle (British, 1864 -1949) was a prolific and very talented late nineteenth century artist who created an extraordinary body of work, yet surprisingly little has been written about him.

Maud Earl.
Copyright 1906. Published by the Berlin Photographic Company Berlin - London W. 133 New Bond Street.
Colour photogravure, ltd edition of 100, signed by the Artist. 220 x 350mm.
Wire-haired Fox Terriers. Maud Alice Earl (1864-1943) was an eminent British-American canine painter. Her works are much enjoyed by dog enthusiasts and also accurately record many breeds. Earl was the born in London, the daughter of artist George Earl and his first wife Alice Beaumont Rawlins. Maud's profession was the continuation of a family tradition. George Earl, an avid sportsman and noted sporting painter, was his daughter's first teacher and had his daughter study the anatomy of her subjects, drawing dog, horse and human skeletons to improve her skill. She later said that her father's instruction had given her ability that set her apart from other dog painters. After her father's tutelage Maud went on to study at Royal Female School of Art (later incorporated into the Central School of Art). Earl became famous during the Victorian Era, a time when women were not expected to make their living at painting. Nevertheless, she developed a select clientele, including Royals amongst her patrons such as Queen Victoria and Queen Alexandra. Although evidently extremely successful in England, Earl felt that the world she knew had been destroyed by World War I and she emigrated to New York City in 1916. By this time her work had received wide international recognition and her popular images were published in a number of books and in print form. The Sportsman's Year featured twelve of Earl's works as engravings. Maud Earl died in New York in 1943 and is buried at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York.

Charles James Fox (1749-1806), styled The Honourable from 1762, as a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned thirty-eight years. Fox was the first foreign secretary of the United Kingdom and vocal supporter of American independence. Also known for his rivalry with William Pitt the Younger and a staunch opponent of George III he was reckless in politics as at the gaming tables. Fox held office briefly as a Tory under Lord North then led the opposition. Fox strongly criticised Lord North and the conduct of the American war, viewing the cause of the American patriots as a struggle for liberty against oppressive external power. He supported the revolutionaries of the United States, often dressing in the colours of George Washington's army. He championed America's cause, denouncing taxation of Americans without their consent. Reform was a passion but as a supporter of the revolutionary cause in France, his credibility was diminished from 1792 by the excesses of the French revolutionaries.
