Irish M.P.s.
['Paul Pry' monogram of William Heath.]
Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket where political and other Caricature are daily publishing [n.d., c.1829.]
Hand-coloured etching, 260 x 370mm (14½ x 10¼"). Some small stains largely in margins but enters coloured border top right. Small margins top and bottom.
Political satire: an Irish schoolmaster-priest, sitting in a chair taking a pinch of snuff, teaches a dwarfish Irish peasant, ragged and barelegged. The peasant answers "O'C—for O'Connell thats right—now Pat what does MP stand for eh?" with: "Mealy Potato". The Irish nationalist politician Daniel O'Connell (1775 - 1847) was satirized as a potato by Heath in 1829 (see BM Satires 15684). By William Heath (1794/5 - 1840), ex-Captain of Dragoons, illustrator of colour-plate books, and prolific caricaturist. From 1827-9 he used the pseudonym Paul Pry (from the name of a character in a comedy of 1825 by John Poole, that became a tag used for any very inquisitive person), with the emblem of a small man holding a walking stick in a lower corner of his plates. This figure was soon copied by other caricaturists (eg Sharpshooter), and so from 1828 Heath began to sign his plates with his full name. He published regularly with Thomas McLean.

7 out of 10 verses of the song/poem by James A. Sidney illustrated/engraved by J.D Scott plate 17 out of 77. The original verses 3 regarding Old Marmion, 5 regarding Bonaparte and 9 regarding London being in Spain are missing suggesting a local bias. The text and Music is transcribed in School of Scottish Studies (in its entirety) and published in Robert Ford's 'Vagabond Songs and Ballads' Volume 1 1899. The style of the "Tableau" is similar to J.D Scott's 'Combination Atlas Map of Bucks County, Pennsylvania' 1876 indicating that this might also be his work.

An Irish Union! No VI. If there be no great love in the beginning.- Yet Heaven may decrease it upon better acquatance.[vide Shakespeare]
[J. Cruikshank 30 Jan. 1799.]
[Published by S W Fores 50 Piccadilly Jan 30 1799 folios of caricatures Lent out for the Evening]
Proof. Etching. Sheet 180 x 230mm (7 x 9"). Trimmed within plate. Some staining and surface dirt.
A satire on the Union of England and Ireland. Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742-1811) (left) reads from a folio History of Scotland, while William Pitt (1759-1806) (right) joins the reluctant hands of Paddy (left) and John Bull (right). Dundas, who wears a Scots cap, plaid, and tartan stockings, with a flask protruding from his coat pocket, stands in profile to the right, saying, "I'll read ye a little aboot the same Business in my ain country - you will find how many made the siller frae that time to this - depend upon it Paddy ye will be much happier - and mair independent than ever." Paddy, an Irish farmer, looks round at him with a suspicious scowl, saying, "Now is it Blareying you are at?" Pitt says with a primly complacent expression: "Depend upon it - what that Gentleman says is right - thus I join your hands in Friendship. & one Interest - and whom I put together - let no man put asunder". John Bull stares to the right, saying, "This may be Nation good Fun. - but dang my buttons, if I know what it is about! & Cousin Paddy dont seem quite clear in the Case neither." On the extreme left stands a man with blankets over his arm inscribed 'Tax on Income'. He says: "When you want the Wet Blankets - I have them ready". He is perhaps Joseph Smith, (1757-1822) private secretary to Pitt and crown agent.

Etching. Publisher's stamp in plate lower left: English Etchings Part 2. Plate 228 x 305mm. 9 x 12".
Iroquois (1878-1899) was the first American-bred horse to win the Epsom Derby. When four he became a 'bleeder' and thus his temperament changed and he became difficult to train. Pierre Lorillard IV (1883-1901) the American tobacco manufacturer and thoroughbred race horse owner and Iroquois’s owner decided to sent him back to the United States in 1883 where he won at the Stockbridge Cup. In 1886 he was purchased by William Hicks Jackson (1835-1903) a cotton planter, horse breeder, and general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, who transported Iroquois to Belle Meade Plantation where he was a successful stud and had become leading sire by 1892.

Rev. Edward Irving (1792-1834) was a Scottish clergyman, generally regarded as the main figure behind the foundation of the Catholic Apostolic Church. He had little success in converting the Scottish public and was about to give up hope and focus his attention towards missionary labour in the East when he suddenly received an invitation from the Caledonian Church in London; over that charge he was ordained in 1822.

Rev. Edward Irving (1792-1834) was a Scottish clergyman, generally regarded as the main figure behind the foundation of the Catholic Apostolic Church. He had little success in converting the Scottish public and was about to give up hope and focus his attention towards missionary labour in the East when he suddenly received an invitation from the Caledonian Church in London; over that charge he was ordained in 1822.
