The times - or a view of the old house in little Brittain - with nobody going to Hannover.
[Thomas Rowlandson]
Pub:d Jan: 23. 1784 [the "8" perhaps written over a 7] by W. Humphrey N.o 227 Strand.
Hand-coloured etching, 230 x 325mm (9 x 13"). Trimmed within plate and tipped into album sheet.
This political satire represents Britain and its constitution as a dilapidated old inn, “The Old Building,” collapsing under mismanagement and corruption. On the left, the king (George III 1738-1820) appears to be leaving for Hanover while distressed subjects beg him to intervene. An all-seeing eye above urges him to “Turn out those Robbers and repair the House.” The inn is occupied by members of the Fox–North Coalition, portrayed as robbers. The building’s foundations, labelled “Public Credit” and “Funds,” are under strain, while a fox representing Charles James Fox (1749-1806) sits outside as the self-styled “Protector.” Lord North (1732-92) appears beside him, complacently declaring, “Give me my Ease And do as you Please.” The crown itself stands nearby on a block marked “To be Sold,” suggesting political corruption. Higher up, the constitutional supports of the building are being damaged. A beam labelled “Prerogative of the Crown” is nearly chopped through by government lawyers, while the sign “Magna Charta” hangs torn and falling. The balcony, supported by the unstable “Coalition,” is crowded with revellers including Edmund Burke (1729-97) and other coalition supporters, depicted as theatrical and disorderly figures. The upper structure symbolises the burdens imposed on the nation. An attic marked with references to the American War and a roof made entirely of stones labelled “Tax” suggest that years of political failure and excessive taxation threaten the stability of the whole constitutional edifice. The overall image presents the Coalition government as reckless occupants whose actions are bringing Britain to ruin.

From 'the Sportsman's Calendar'. 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.
