Fox and Erskine strut along the east pavement of St. James's Street, about to cross the road to the Palace gateway, part of which is on the extreme left. Before them runs a little ragged boy waving his hat and screaming "Clear the way for his M------'s Ministers". Fox, immensely fat, wears old-fashioned court dress, heavily laced, embroidered, and ruffled; he is chapeau-bras, left hand grasping his sword. Behind him walks Erskine, wearing a Chancellor's wig reaching to the knee, and a gown festooned over his arm, but still trailing behind him. Fox puffs, Erskine walks mincingly; both hold papers. From the corner house on the west side of St. James's a man wearing a cocked hat, and seated at a table on which is a coffee-pot, looks quizzically from a window. BM Satires 10529.

Early view of Sydney, from 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples. As Tim McCormick shows, the views and text in the book were plagiarised from various sources. This engraving does not relate to any other known views. McCormick states of this view that it appears to show the Clock Tower (completed 1797) and a view across Bennelong Point and the Cove.

East View of Sydney.
V. Woodthorpe sc.
Published Dec. 24. 1803, by M.Jones Paternoster Row.
Hand-coloured stipple, sheet 125 x 210mm (4¾ x 8¼"). Cut to platemark.
Early view of Sydney, from 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples. This view, as McCormick notes, is a mirror-image of an engraving published in David Collins' 'An Account of the English Colony' (London, 1798), itself after a watercolour by Edward Dayes. The source has been augmented with the addition of an Aboriginal Australian aiming a spear at a British settler, drawing parallels with violence against settlers often depicted in prints such as those documenting Cook's voyages. Tim McCormick, 'First Views of Australia 1788-1825', p.276; for another view of Sydney from the series see ref. 15718.
