Hand-coloured etching. Sheet: 255 x 365mm (10 x 14¼''). Trimmed and tipped into album sheet.
Two contrasting men, exemplifying different fashions and physiognomies. The printmaker William Heath (1794-1840) used the pseudonym Paul Pry (taken from the name of a character in John Poole's 1825 comedy, and used to describe a very inquisitive person) between 1827-9, and rather than signing his name he used the 'Paul Pry' monogram seen here, a small man holding a walking stick. However this figure began to be copied by other caricaturists (including Sharpshooter ) and so Heath reverted to his own name.

[Paul Pry monogram] Esq Del
London, Published by Tho.s McLean 26 Haymarket, 1827
Hand-coloured etching. Sheet: 255 x 365mm (10 x 14¼''). Trimmed and tipped into album sheet.
Two contrasting men, exemplifying different fashions and physiognomies. The printmaker William Heath (1794-1840) used the pseudonym Paul Pry (taken from the name of a character in John Poole's 1825 comedy, and used to describe a very inquisitive person) between 1827-9, and rather than signing his name he used the 'Paul Pry' monogram seen here, a small man holding a walking stick. However this figure began to be copied by other caricaturists (including Sharpshooter ) and so Heath reverted to his own name.

The Bull in Jeopardy; or, The Curs triumphant.
A Sharpshooter fec.
Pub. Oct. 19 1829 by S. Gans 15 Southampton Street Strand.
Hand-coloured etching. 240 x 362mm (9½ x 14¼") Cut. Remains of album sheet verso.
A large bull, with the head of John Bull, is held down with difficulty by Wellington, Peel, and O'Connell who strain at a thick rope inscribed 'Catholic Bill', which encircles the bull's horns and head and is drawn through a staple so that its head is almost on the ground. The furious animal tries to get at four dogs with human heads who menace a turkey with the turbaned head of the Sultan. The largest cur, with [N]'icolas' on its collar, savages the bird which is on its back. The others are 'Miguel'; a puny dog clipped in the French manner, evidently Charles X, and one in a cocked hat who is probably Francis I. All watch the bull apprehensively. Wellington and Peel, the latter in a battered top-hat, wear long gaiters and short jackets, O'Connell wears a barrister's wig and an apron over breeches; he grasps the end of the rope and looks over his shoulder at the bull with fierce satisfaction.
