Pair of hand-coloured etchings with aquatint. Sheets 295 x 355mm (11¾ x 14) Hinged into mount at top. Trimmed. Some repaired tears.
A pair of aquatint copies of Rowlandson's water-colours, all signed 'Rowlandson'. Satires on married life. The first a happy scene; a young couple sit at a breakfast-table near a fire, at which the husband toasts a muffin, while gazing at his wife adoringly who puts her left arm round his shoulder, they are surrounded by their children and pets in a tranquil and loving enviroment. The second scene is of an unhappy marriage; a man and wife fight furiously across a falling table from which dishes of meat crash to the floor. Three scantily clad and screaming children and a barking dog add to the confusion. The high-chair (and potty) of the baby has fallen over, and the child lies on its back helpless.

Under each character is lettered a quotation. Copied from the 1824 etching of the same title by Thomas Howell Jones, with minor differences in the image. Mathews enjoyed great acclaim during his 1822 -3 trip to America, though his impersonations of types of Americans were not well received when performed in the US in 1831. By Thomas Howell Jones (1824 - 1848; fl.) from a series of 'Mathew-oramas'.

Mezzotint. 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"). A good first state impression with very large margins. Slight paper tone.
George Mattocks (1734/5-1804), singer and theatre manager. Initially a singer in Covent Garden and the provinces, Mattocks leased the Portsmouth theatre in 1771 and the following year leased the newly built Theatre Royal in Liverpool alongside the Covent Garden prompter Joseph Younger. They also took a twenty-one-year lease on the Manchester theatre in 1775 and Mattocks became involved with a Birmingham theatre in 1779. Mattocks concentrated on management but began to lose singing roles in London to younger performers, and in 1784 moved with his wife, singer and actress Isabella Mattocks, to the north of England. Younger died that year, leaving Mattocks in sole charge of the Liverpool and Manchester theatres, sustaining heavy losses. Isabella returned to performing in London and George was declared bankrupt in 1788 after which he worked in administrative positions at other theatres. Engraved after a painting by draughtsman and singer Robert Dighton (1751-1814) by the mezzotint engraver and printseller Robert Laurie (1755?-1836).

Isabella Mattocks (née Hallam) (1746-1826), actress and singer. Born into a theatrical family, her father Lewis moved to America in 1752, having run into financial difficulties. He took his wife and other children but left Isabella in the care of his sister and her second husband, actor John Barrington. Isabella probably made her stage debut that year, aged five, appearing intermittently on stage until she joined the Covent Garden company aged sixteen, where she spent most of her career. She married the young tenor George Mattocks, who performed alongside her, in 1765. In 1784-6 Mattocks left Covent Garden to work in Liverpool and Manchester where her husband managed theatres, but the enterprises ruined him financially and she subsequently returned to Covent Garden, although she generally returned to Liverpool in the summers.
