Hard Times. Worse & worse, Semper idem!! P.4.
(Designed, Etched & Published by George Cruikshank _ May 1.st 1827.)
Etching with hand-colour, sheet 265 x 355mm (10½ x 14"). Trimmed within plate. Repaired tear top left.
Fourth plate of a series of six, 'Illustrations of time.' Five vignettes; ''Term Time'', between a law court and debtors’ prison, an official divides an oyster shell between two litigants in ''Noodle v Doodle,'' declaring, ''Gentlemen - It was a very fine Oyster! - the Court awards you a shell each.'' Behind, debtors beg at a window marked ''Pray Remember the Poor Debtors,'' while a paper on the ground reads ''Pray remember the Poor Creditors,'' and a bailiff serves a writ. A stout woman turns a grindstone as another forces a man’s nose against it. Three destitute gardeners hold up sticks with greenery while boys skate on a frozen pond behind. Two men break stones on a road, one a ruined dandy, the other a gouty city type. A butcher sleeps outside his empty stall marked ''This Shop To Let,'' its lone rib of beef watched by a starving dog, as a ballad-singer with three hungry children cries, ''Oh! The Roast Beef of Old England -''; behind stands a derelict shop labelled ''J. Duff Baker - This House To be Let or Sold.''

Coupe de la Machine Infernale, Que les Anglois employerent aux Bombardemens de Saint Marlo en 1693, de Diepe et de Dunquerque en 1694. Voyés l'histoire de Louis XIV. par De Larrey page 136, 138, 190 et 192.
[n.d., c.1720.]
Engraving. 355 x 225mm (14 x 8¾"), large margins.
A cross-section of an 'Infernal Machine', one of a fleet of ships filled with bombs, powder, tar, animal fat and scrap metal, built by the English as a weapon to destroy French ports, under the command of John Benbow. When used against St Malo one was sailed by a crew of six towards the harbour, but a gust of wind blew it off course and onto a reef, where it exploded, killing the crew of six. The blast damaged houses in the town, but there were no reported casualties. An attempt on Dunkirk the following year was also unsuccessful, as the French blocked the entrance. From Isaac de Larrey's 'Histoire de France sous le règne de Louis XIV'. Unsurprisingly this French description does not mention the more successful attack on Dieppe in 1694, which devastated the town.

Engraving, sheet 235 x 335mm (9¼ x 13¼"). Trimmed losing publication line.
A satire on the folly of marriages between partners of unequal age, and on the sexual opportunism of young military officers. An elderly magistrate has dozed off beside a table holding glasses, pipes, and two bottles, one labelled ''Port'', set before an empty grate. He clutches a copy of ‘Compleat Justice’, identifying him as a Justice of the Peace, while a paper protruding from his pocket reads ''—him for a Trespass on…''. On a bracket table behind him are Burns’ Justice, a document marked ''Stealing a Hare,'' and another inscribed ''Mid to Wit…''. Above his head hangs a stag’s head with antlers, an allusion to his cuckoldry. On the opposite side of the fireplace, his pretty young wife sits with an army officer who fondles her, his hat hanging on the wall behind them. The mantelpiece holds two oriental-style jars and a figure of Budai, the ''laughing Buddha,'' above which a gun is suspended upside down.

Three-quarter seated portrait of Frederick George Manning (d.1849) and seated bust portrait of Maria Manning (nee de Roux c.1821–49).

In the foreground, grenadiers with fixed bayonets drive a trembling naval officer and several sailors toward a ship’s boat, into which one sailor is already falling.

On the horizon, two British ships are firing, with a third standing by.
