Fraser, an amateur artist, banker and merchant was based in Calcutta from 1813 to 1820.

The publication of these views was begun by Rodwell and Martin in 1824, publishers of his 'Views in the Himalaya Mountains' in 1820, but completed and extended by Smith, Elder by 1826. Abbey: 494.

Etching on wove paper, 175 x 110mm. 7 x 4¼". A decent impression, with good margins. Faint staining to right side of plate.
Caricature of Isaac Barré (1726 - 1802), full face, standing, his hat in his right hand, his left hand thrust into his waistcoat. Politician and soldier, Barré was born in Dublin to French parents. He entered the army and fought alongside General Wolfe at the Battle of Quebec in 1759. Entering Parliament in 1761, he gained a fearsome reputation as a scourge of corruption and a champion of the American colonies. His phrase 'Sons of Liberty' became a Patriot slogan during the American War of Independence, 1775-82. He shared John Wilkes's royal enmity and mastery of radical invective; the town of Wilkes-Barré, Pennsylvania, founded 1769, commemorates their friendship. Barré was the subject of Sayers's second important political satire. By James Sayers (1748 - 1823). Sayers's caricatures were so powerful and direct in their purpose that Fox is said to have declared that they did him more harm than all the attacks made on him in parliament or the press. Numbered 'XII' faintly upper left. The publisher Charles Bretherton (c.1760 fl - 1783) was the younger brother of James Bretherton. BM Satires 6066. See BM 6028. NPG D9620.

James Barry (1741-1806), the English painter who attracted the patronage of the statesman Edmund Burke who then sent him to Italy. Inspired by antique art, he executed several large historical works in a neo-classical style and, from 1777 to 1783, he decorated the great room of the Society of Arts. An ardent spokesman for high art, he became disillusioned with contemporary patronage and quarrelled with most of his colleagues.

A boxing satire. A group of parasitic followers surround Richard Barry (1769-1793), 7th Earl of Barrymore, including boxers, jockeys, cock-fighters and a man resembling the Prince of Wales. On the back wall are paintings of 'Scrub' (after his nickname 'Lord Scrub), racing, cockfighting and a pierrot and harlequin. On the floor is an open book: 'New Pantomime by Bar & Co'. Despite being painted at an early age as an angelic Cupid by Richard Cosway, Barry found infamy as a rake, beginning at school at Eton, from where he would hire cabs to London to visit prostitutes. The Prince of Wales nicknamed him 'Hellgate'. He married the daughter of a sedan chair man: after he accidently killed himself with his own musket aged 23, she turned to prostitution and bare-knuckle boxing before becoming a matron of the female prisoners at the Tothill Fields Bridewell.

Published June 24. 1778, by John Boydell Engraver in Cheapside London
Mezzotint with fantastic colour, 18th century watermark; 380 x 280mm (15 x 11"). Trimmed to plate.
Portrait of Richard Barry, Earl of Barrymore (1769-93), depicted as Cupid sitting on the grass beside a rose bush. With his back to the viewer, he looks over his shoulder while playing a lyre, all within a circular frame. As a young man the engraver, Isaac Jehner (1750-1818), had a series of accidents that broke his thighs and left arm, which were badly treated, leaving him on limited stature and disabled. He published a memoir, unusual for an engraver, called 'Fortune's Football' in 1806, described by Alexander as 'a pioneering account by a person with disabilites of his experiences'. CS 1 I of I. Ex: Collection of The Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd.

Jean Bart.
J. Chapman sculp.
[n.d., c.1800.]
Stipple. Sheet size: 155 x 110mm (6 x 4¼"). Trimmed inside platemark. Laid on scrap sheet.
A portrait in an oval of French naval commander and privateer Jean Bart (1650 - 1702). Jean Bart was born in Dunkirk in 1650 and almost certainly spoke Flemish, at that time the native language in the region. When war broke out between France and the United Provinces in 1672, Bart entered the French service and became captain of one of the Dunkirk privateers. In this capacity he displayed such astonishing bravery, that Louis XIV sent him on a special mission to the Mediterranean, where he gained great distinction. He went on to achieve his greatest successes during the Nine Years' War (1688-1697).

A man smoking a pipe and carrying a cudgel, his body protected by a barrel with spikes, heavy boots protrunding from the bottom. Bartholomew Fair, held on the 24th August in Smithfield, was founded as a cloth fair in 1133. It expanded over the years to include sideshows, especially prize-fighters, musicians, wire-walkers, acrobats, puppets, freaks and wild animals, as illustrated in a famous view in the 'Microcosm of London'. However it also became increasing rowdy, with fights and muggings, as satirised here, and eventually the fair was suppressed in 1855. Hickman p.86.
