Mr. Bunbury del. Js.Bretherton f.
Publish'd by Bretherton 3d. January 1774.
Etching, 18th century watermark; platemark 235 x 300mm (9¼ x 11¾"). Thread margin on bottom and small margin at top.
Two rival quack doctors (whose premises, both advertising Antiscorbutic Pills to prevent scurvy, face each other) argue while their wives fight each other. Even their cats and dogs are involved in the rivalry! Etched after Henry Bunbury, an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton). The dubious claims of both are emphasised by the crest top centre, featuring two ducks and the motto 'quack quack quack'.

Two engravings and two letterpress sheets, each platemark approx. 180 x 115mm (6¾ x 4¼").
Two prints published in the 'Carlton House Magazine', reissuing (in two parts) an earlier print. As the letterpress accompanying the two prints confirms, they satirise quack doctors, specifically new experiments with electricity. As the doctor advises his female patient, 'the electrical shock is violent, I confess, but it is not unaccompanied with rapture'. The scene is inside a tavern, with portraits on the wall including one of the painter J.P. de Loutherbourg.

Interior; a woman with a tall hat standing on a half barrel, her hands clasped, surrounded by other Quakers, male and female. After Egbert van Heemskerck I (1645 - 1704), who specialised in genre subjects in the Dutch taste, especially scenes set in taverns, courts and schools. To these he added a genre that he invented, the Quaker painting. In the second half of the seventeenth century Quakers has a dubious reputation as one of the extreme non-conformist sects. They were marked out by their clothes and their strange services, and were subject to civil penalties for refusing to take the oath of allegiance or pay tithes. Their modern respectability came much later. Of the many paintings that Heemskerk made of these outcasts, four were turned into prints, all with the same title, The Quaker's Meeting.

Engraving. 185 x 210mm (7¼ x 8¼"). Trimmed on top, right and bottom sides. Vertical creases as issued.
A scene depicting a congregation of Quakers, with a central figure preaching to the meeting. The meeting is largely attended by simply dressed men and women wearing either hats or head coverings, however in the lower left corner is a group of three elaborately dressed people, two women and a man, who seem to be expressing shock. The three clearly aristocratic figures may be illustrating the radical attitude of Quakers, who refused to follow the social traditions expected of the lower echelons of society. For example, in accordance with their view on equality they would not remove headware in the presence of upper classes, as here, nor would they address anyone by their earthly titles, or follow socially accepted forms of address.
