A Sketch Of The New Postage Envelopes. (With the latest improvements).
Printed by W. Kohler 22 Denmark S.t Soho.
London: Published by William Spooner, 377, Strand. [n.d. c.1840].
Lithograph, printed border 170 x 350mm (10¾ x 13¾"). Tipped into album sheet at sides. Light foxing.
This satirical print parodies the illustrated postal envelopes designed by William Mulready (1786 – 1863) for the newly reformed Post Office. At the centre, Britannia (represented as Queen Victoria (1819-1901)) sits on a lion, dispatching letters across the world to eager recipients. The scene echoes Mulready’s original design, showing people receiving and reading letters: a woman reads aloud to a seated man on the left, while an elderly couple on the right examine a letter as a child reaches for it. The main comic element is a mock version of the Penny Black stamp in the address panel. Instead of Queen Victoria’s idealised profile, it features a supposedly “Positive Likeness” of a woman with her mouth open, poking fun at the official portrait and the new postal imagery. The print satirises both the Mulready envelope design and contemporary representations of the young queen.

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.
