A Venise, chez Joseph Remondini & Fils. [n.d., c.1780.]
Stipple, 290 x 245mm. 11½ x 9¾". Full margins.
Joseph Remondini had published a pair of engravings as illustrations to the letters written by Lady May Wortley Montague during the Embassey to Istanbul. These had been taken from drawings by Thomas Stoddard and had been very popular due to their exotic content. This print by the same publisher illustrates an imagined historical scene set inside an Islamic palace. Saladin (c.1138 - 1193), who led the Islamic opposition to the Franks and other European Crusaders in the Levant, and a favourite female companion are seated around a table, drinking tea and smoking long pipes; two female figures to background, guitar to left. This and other engravings of the similar theme were produced by the popular publishers as Lady Mary's letters were published and she became the inspiration of a generation of female writers, artists, and travellers. Published in Venice by a firm of print publishers run by successive generations of the same family, Remondini between 1634-1811 after Jacques Philippe Caresme (1734 - 1796) for coloured impression see ref. 26134

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.
