A Sketch of the Row in Parliment Street.
[Monogram of William Heath - 'Paul Pry', a man holding an umbrella.]
Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket where political & other Caricatures are dail Publishing. [n.d., c.1829.]
Handcoloured etching. 370 x 260mm (14½ x 10¼"), with wide margins.
A pugilistic encounter between two old market-women who are John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon (1751-1838) and Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769 - 1852). Eldon has a basket of oranges (emblem of the Orange Lodges) beside him, and wears a flat wide-brimmed hat. Wellington wears a soldier's coat over his skirt and apron. Each has a bottle-holder; that of Eldon is John Bull, a stout yokel who puts his hand on his principal's bulging posterior, saying, 'Welldone-—old Mother Baggs—you have got the best bottom after all. see what it is to have a good Constitution—give it her—she has'ent got the Mounshears to deal with now.' Wellington's supporter is a bare-legged Irish ragamuffin with a pipe thrust in his little hat who says 'Murder ye ould cat kape your fists Tight—or you'I let the Ould Orange-Woman bate ye clane.' In the background is a freely sketched crowd of spectators, one of whom represents Robert Peel. Possibly a satire on the 4 April 1827 Lords debate on the second reading of the Catholic Relief Bill, in which Wellington accused Eldon of having thrown "a large paving-stone instead of ... a small pebble". 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, as seen here.

[Monogram of William Heath - 'Paul Pry', a man holding an umbrella.]
Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket where Political & other Caricatures are daily Pub. [n.d., c.1828.]
Handcoloured etching. Plate: 260 x 370mm (10¼ x 14½"). Very large margins.
Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769 - 1852) stands in profile to the left between Apsley House (right) and the Triumphal Arch on Constitution Hill, still with some scaffolding (built by Decimus Burton in 1828 and afterwards temporarily disfigured by the equestrian statue of Wellington). He holds a large flat candlestick on which is a saveall, a device for burning a candle to the last drop of grease. On the saveall is an inverted ducal coronet from which projects a vice (a pun is probably intended) on which is the tiny lighted taper which the Duke is about to extinguish with his glossy top-hat. The rays are inscribed £ 15 pr An, £25 pr An. Behind a hoarding masons and hodmen are working on a scaffold against the new pillars of Apsley House, on which is a placard: Letters & Parcels to be left in Downing St. In the background, also behind a hoarding, are Windsor Castle, surrounded with scaffolding but with a flag flying, and (left) the reconstructed Buckingham Palace, partly hidden by the Arch and placarded ‘Plans Recieved here for Pulling Down’. A satire on the expense of building operations at Windsor (by Wyatville) and at Buckingham Palace (by Nash), and on Wellington's (alleged) lavish expenditure and trifling domestic economies. According to Creevey, 20 Mar. 1828, Nash and others had recently visited Wellington saying that the King wished part of the new buildings at the Palace pulled down and the plan altered; the Duke refused. The Corinthian Portico and bays of the west wing of Apsley House were added in 1828 the same year as Wellington became Prime Minister. 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.

Hand-coloured etching. Plate: 370 x 260mm (14½ x 10¼"), with large margins.
A fat John Bull, a yokel in a smock, stoops forward to cheer on a terrier with the head of Eldon who grips in his teeth a rat with the (terrified) head of Wellington. Another rat (? Peel) has been flung into the air and falls back. Other rats, all with human heads, scamper away over a heap of unthrashed corn, into which some of them dive, tails only projecting: one disappears down a hole. Behind J. B. is the doorway of the barn, framing the tower of a village church, which is out of the perpendicular, and shored up by beams, one inscribed 'Prop'.

[Wellington] A Vision -- Past. Present.
William Heath.
Pub Feb 9th 1830 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket sole Publisher of W Heaths Etchings.
Hand-coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"), with wide margins.
Wellington's military success ('past') is contasted with his political instability ('present'). On the left he stands on cloud immediately above Napoleon's tomb, with Fame blowing her trumpet and holding a wreath over his head. On the right he kneels precariously on the summit of a globe which is crushing a number of artisans and farmers, some of whom try desperately to hold it up. It is covered, like a map, with islands or continents inscribed respectively 'Free Trade', 'National Debt', 'Currency', 'Taxes'. Dividing the two scenes, and in the upper part of the design, is a king enthroned, whose fleur-de-lis head identifies him as Charles X. Speech bubble coming from the fleur-de-lis reads 'all for me', the implication being that Napoleon's defeat served only to restore the Bourbons. This print was published only months before Charles was deposed in the July Revolution.

Hand-coloured etching. Framed. Plate: 260 x 380mm (10¼ x 15") Unexamined out of frame, slightly faded.
The Duke of Wellington, in uniform with drum, kicks William Huskisson on the behind, watched by a rank of soldiers from different regiments. Huskisson (1770-1830) had voted against the disfranchisement of East Retford (a rotten borough) contrary to a cabinet decision and was ejected from the government, alongside Lords Palmerston and Melbourne. In 1830 Huskinson attended the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Leaving his carriage to greet Wellington, hoping to repair their relationship, he realised he was on the tracks in front of the oncoming 'Rocket', George Stephenson's pioneering locomotive. He attempted to climb back into the Duke's carriage, but the door swung open, leaving him dangling. He was hit by the Rocket, mangling one of his legs, dying several hours later, becoming the world's first widely reported railway passenger casualty.

The Duke of Wellington, in uniform with drum, kicks William Huskisson on the behind, watched by a rank of soldiers from different regiments. Huskisson (1770-1830) had voted against the disfranchisement of East Retford (a rotten borough) contrary to a cabinet decision and was ejected from the government, alongside Lords Palmerston and Melbourne. In 1830 Huskinson attended the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Leaving his carriage to greet Wellington, hoping to repair their relationship, he realised he was on the tracks in front of the oncoming 'Rocket', George Stephenson's pioneering locomotive. He attempted to climb back into the Duke's carriage, but the door swung open, leaving him dangling. He was hit by the Rocket, mangling one of his legs, dying several hours later, becoming the world's first widely reported railway passenger casualty.

Benjamin West (1738-1820) American painter of historical scenes, with Windsor Castle in the distance. In 1760 he became the first American painter to travel to Italy, spending three years there. West met George III's librarian Joseph Dalton in 1762, who gave him a royal commission to paint the lovers Cymon and Iphigenia. It was partly due to Dalton's encouragement that West arrived in London, where he was to spend the rest of his career. In 1768 West played an instrumental role with the king in obtaining patronage for a Royal Academy of Arts, joining other charter members in helping to elect Reynolds as its first president. Eventually, despite his American origins, West became historical painter to the king in 1772, surveyor of the king's pictures in 1791, and second president of the Royal Academy in 1792, after Reynolds's death.
