Fine hand coloured etching. 260 x 370mm. (10¼ x 14¾".) Trimmed to plate at top, margins on 3 sides. Brown stain left margin, does not exceed the platemark.
Two street cleaners discuss the performance of a new recruit, throwing in a humorous side-swipe at the politicians at Westminster (the towers of Westminster Abbey visible in background). By William Heath (1794/5 - 1840), ex-Captain of Dragoons, illustrator of colour-plate books, and prolific caricaturist. From 1827-9 he used the pseudonym Paul Pry (from the name of a character in a comedy of 1825 by John Poole, that became a tag used for any very inquisitive person) with the emblem of a small man holding a walking stick in a lower corner of his plates. This figure was soon copied by other caricaturists (eg Sharpshooter), and so from 1828 Heath began to sign his plates with his full name. He published regularly with Thomas McLean.

Old man holding pencil and spectacles, after the Venetian painter Giuseppe Nogari (1699-1766).

He worked for the British Consul in Venice, Joseph Smith (also an important patron to Canaletto) and also contributed to the decorations of the Palazzo Reale in Turin, which may be relevant to the Turin-based printmaker Pietro Peiroleri engraving this print.

Joseph Nollekens, Esqr. R.A.
From the original picture by F. Abbott in his own possession drawn by W.Evans, Engraved by J. Vendramini.
Published October 21, 1816 by T. Cadell & W. Davies Strand London.
Stipple 325 x 380mm 12½ x 15 inches.
Joseph Nollekens with a bust of Charles James Fox, the painting hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. Born in London, Joseph Nollekens was the son of a Flemish genre painter. He trained with a Flemish sculptor in London before going to Rome in 1762. Gaining employment in Bartolomeo Cavaceppi's workshop, he restored ancient sculptures as well as terracottas by such artists as Michelangelo and Giambologna. In this venerable city, Nollekens learned from the antique, perfecting a Neoclassical style that soon earned him a reputation and a small fortune. He was particularly popular among the English tourists who visited Rome on the Grand Tour. Returning to England in 1770, Nollekens soon became a member of the Royal Academy. While he was a prolific tomb-maker, he is best known for his portrait busts in plaster or marble. His own favorites were the rare mythological statues he carved, particularly the goddesses, whose elegance recalls Mannerist sculpture. Despite his wealth and reputation, Nollekens was known for his parsimonious and eccentric ways. A former student, who claimed to have been deceived into believing that he would inherit Nollekens's fortune with several other of Nollekens's associates, wrote a spiteful biography about him.

He also made busts of a number of figures from the arts such as Laurence Sterne and Benjamin West. Additionally, he made a large number of tombs. Nollekens died in London, having made a fortune from his work. A notorious miser, he left around £200,000 in his will.
