Portrait of Makataimeshekiakiak or Black (Sparrow) Hawk (1767-1838), whose Sauk tribesmen fought for the British in the War of 1812, earning themselves the nickname the 'British Band'. In 1832 the British Band crossed the Mississippi into Illinois, attempting to resettle land ceded in 1804 to the United States in a disputed treaty. It was the US that started hostilities, when poorly-trained militia opened fire on a delegation from the Sauk, after which the tribe attacked forts and settlements before being defeated at the Battles of Wisconsin Heights & Bad Axe. Most of the Sauk were killed, but Black Hawk was captured and imprisoned. The 'Black Hawk War' is best known for Abraham Lincoln's brief military experience and as the impetus for the 'Indian Removal' policy. A reduced version of the portrait by George Catlin, published in 'Dr.Prichard's Natural History of Man'.

Rare engraving. 133 x 70mm. 5¼ x 2¾". Cut and laid on separate sheet.
Lodowicke Muggleton (1609-1698) was an English plebeian religious thinker, who gave his name to Muggletonianism. Worked from 1631 as a tailor for his cousin, William Reeve, whose brother John co-founded the Muggletonian sect. In 1651 he experienced a series of revelations. He declared himself and John Reeve the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation and claimed they had been given the power to bless believers and curse sceptics. In 1656 Muggleton and Reeve published the highly controversial The Divine Looking-Glass, in which the doctrines of the sect were developed. Amongst these were the beliefs that the distinction of the three persons in the Trinity were merely nominal and that God was a corporeal, embodied being. In 1677 Muggleton was imprisoned for blasphemy. The last Muggletonian, Philip Noakes, died in 1979.

Etching. 95 x 127mm. 3¾ x 5". Paper toning and foxing. Small nicks to the edges.
Pocket-sized satire. An allegorical scene with grotesque figures approaching the gaping jaws of a monster; a medieval depiction of the Mouth of Hell. In front of this stands a wolf dressed in a sheep's clothing, shaped like a clergyman's canonicals, and bearing on its head a church. Along from that is a horned owl with spectacles, a satyrs leg and hoof and a wooden leg; a fox follows. Next appears the head of the Princess of Wales as a sphinx-like she-goat, ridden by the Earl of Bute as a he-goat wearing a jack-boot. Three centaur figures follow, with a large old man playing a drum behind them. Another old man advances eagerly brandishing a flame-like sword and his right claw outstretched.

[The Mummer.]
Joseph Simpson. [signed in pencil].
[n.d. c.1927].
Etching, edition limited to 75. 300 x 210mm (11¾ x 8¼").
The term 'mummers' has been used since medieval times to describe performers of several different kinds, usually in broadly comic performances in rhyme. Joseph Simpson [1879 - 1939], painter and etcher of portraits and sporting subjects. He was born in Carlisle and studied art at Glasgow School of Art. He became a close friend of D.Y. Cameron and was elected RBA in 1909. Simpson designed covers for Edinburgh publishers and was a prolific designer of bookplates. In 1918 he became an official war artist for the RAF and was stationed in France. Simpson was already forty-five when he took up etching in 1925, at the height of the boom period for the medium. His first twenty or so plates were etched with a gramophone needle and printed by the artist himself on the small press lent to him by a local Carlisle printing firm. His first exhibition of etchings took place in Glasgow at Wishart Brown in March 1926. His friend Frank Brangwyn wrote the catalogue introduction. A second highly successful show was staged in November 1926 by Alex, Reid and Lefevre in London. Simpson exhibited in Munich, Venice, Florence & Stockholm.
