Lord Mum Sucking his Thumb.

London Pub Nov 10 1796 by S W Fores 50 Piccadilly.
Coloured etching. 350 x 210mm (13¾ x 8¼"). Narrow margins.
Satirical portrait of James Harris (1746-1820), 1st Earl of Malmesbury, sitting with both thumbs in his mouth.

A conversation was quoted in the London Chronicle in which Malmesbury told Delacroix, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, that he would have to contact London to ask if he was authorized to conclude a treaty for the allies of Great Britain.

Fine hand-coloured etching, 'J. Whatman Turkey Mill 1828' watermark. Platemark: 245 x 340mm (9¾ x 13½"); large margins.
Satire on the imminent 'birth' of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, published just days before the Bill was introduced/delivered. At the centre of the image are Wellington (holding 'Ministerial Forceps'), Peel (with a bottle of medicine), and an old woman, as doctor-accoucheur, apothecary, and nurse. The nurse sits with a copy of The Times, which had urged concessions to the Catholics and was styled 'the hireling of Popery' by opponents of the Bill. Three winds of 'Faction' blow from above, issuing from the heads of Eldon (chief opponent of Emancipation), Winchelsea (included in reference to his extravagant speches) and a third. Figures around the edges include two frenzied bishops, two non-Anglican ministers (of which one is evidently Irving), O'Connell in wig and gown stood addressing a band of his followers, and Cumberland top right, in hussar uniform.
