[n.d. c.1832.]
Lithograph. 317 x 265mm. 12½ x 10½".
Charles Edmund Rumbold (1788-1857) was a British Whig politician. He was educated at Oriel College, Oxford and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1812 he began his Grand Tour, which was a traditional travel of Europe undertaken by mainly upper-class European young men of means. By 1818 he was elected MP for Great Yarmouth, a seat he held until 1835. In the general election of 1837 he returned to the House of Commons and sat for the constituency again until 1847; however he was successfully elected a third time for Great Yarmouth and represented it until his death in 1857.

A Rummage for Document for more Impe ------nts.
Invt Engd & Published by Knight La.beth May 1806 and sold at N° 7 Cornhill.
Hand-coloured etching. 235 x 342mm (9¼ x 13½"). Cut to platemark.
Paull's head and shoulders emerge from a long table, covered with papers, at which he has been writing; he is terror-struck at a beam of light issuing from the head of Wellesley which appears among clouds in the upper right. Wellesley looks down at Paull with raised forefinger. The papers on the table are blown about by a blast from Wellesley. Under the table partly raised cloth reveals sacks of money: '10-000 L R' and '20-000 Lac Rup'. An enormously long scroll hangs from the table by Paull, lying in fused folds on the ground. Piled up on the left of the table are two large bundles; a large bundle of 'Love Letters' lies on a package of 'Eastern delights or the Loves of India Manuscript'; this stands on a large volume: 'Portr[aits of t[he] Beauties of India'. Against it lies a small book: 'Man of Feeling [by Mackenzie]'. A paper is 'the Revenge'. With these is a small picture of an Indian woman holding a sword. Behind these piled-up objects stands a figure of 'Wisdom' with wide eyes, enormous ears, and two fingers held to his mouth to keep it closed. Above, discarded on a shelf, is a battered volume: 'Duty of Man'. On the wall behind Paull is a long framed picture of the Woman taken in Adultery: three-quarter length figures of Christ, the Elders, and the woman, with a bold inscription: 'He that is without sin among you let him cast the first stone.' A signature, 'Coricio', is perhaps intended for Correggio.

Sir Thos. Rumbold Bt.
European Magazine.
Published June 1, 1782, by I.Fielding, Pater-noster Row, J. Sewell, Cornhill, & I. Derbett, Piccadilly.
Engraving. 167 x 107mm.
Sir Thomas Rumbold, 1st Baronet (1736-1791) was a British administrator of India who served as Governor of Madras from 1777 to 1780. He joined the East India Company's naval service as a writer at the age of 16, then transferred to the Company's military service. Promoted to Captain in 1757, he served as Clive's aide-de-camp at the Battle of Plassey. He subsequently transferred back to the Civil Service, becoming chief at Patna in 1763 and a member of the Bengal Council from 1766 to 1769; he was mentioned as a possible Governor of Bengal in 1771, but Warren Hastings was appointed. He was elected to Parliament in 1770, initially as MP for New Shoreham, a notoriously corrupt and expensive borough where he probably bribed extensively. At the next election, in 1774, Rumbold was embroiled in another election-bribery scandal at Shaftesbury: he and Sir Francis Sykes were initially declared elected, but their defeated opponent, petitioned to have the result overturned and produced copious evidence of corruption. In the meanwhile, Rumbold had been a director of the East India Company in 1772 and again from 1775 to 1777, and in June 1777 he was appointed Governor of Madras. During his governorship, British troops occupied Guntur (then French), which shortly afterwards was annexed to Madras, and also captured Pondicherry and Mahé. He was created a baronet in 1779. However, Sir Thomas was also responsible for negotiations with Haidar Ali, and was unable to dissuade him from invading the Carnatic or to prevent him from succeeding. He resigned the governorship for reasons of ill health in 1780, and was subsequently dismissed from the service of the company by the court of directors, who held him responsible for the Carnatic invasion and the Second Anglo-Mysore War. A parliamentary enquiry was also imminent, and he was anxious to be in the Commons to defend himself, but he had once more been unseated for electoral corruption and had to buy himself a seat at Yarmouth. Rumbold supported the establishment of a parliamentary committee of enquiry into the causes of the war in the Carnatic, and spoke repeatedly during the debates that followed. However, the committee did not call him to give evidence, and eventually passed a motion for his impeachment. He was alleged to have diverted a staggering £600,000 into his own pockets, and it was proved that he had been consistently remitting back to England sums three times as big as his salary. But Rumbold's defence was vigorous, no useful evidence to back the charges against him was forthcoming from India, and he was acquitted. Nevertheless, it seems to have been widely believed that he had bribed Henry Dundas and Richard Rigby, the members in charge of the proceedings against him.

Running away with an Heiress.
Giles Grinagain inv.t et fec.t.
Pub.d by S.W. Fores No 50 Piccadilly Jan.y 2.d 1804.
Coloured etching; 18th century watermark; bottom right stamped in ink S.W.F.. 200 x 230mm (8 x 9"). Trimmed to plate at bottom with slight loss to right.
A fat middle-aged woman, lightly clad in indoor dress, sits on the shoulders of a man smaller and older than herself, who runs in profile to the right. He bends under his burden, using a stick, and saying, 'I think I have got a great Prize at last! 40,000 £ in Bank Stock is a weighty Consideration'. She says: 'How I do long for the Blacksmith! When shall we get to Gretna Green!". Behind them is a short ladder leading from a ground-floor window. 'Giles Grinagain' (fl. 1801-7) made a series of prints published by Samuel Howitt in 1801-2, so is probably a pseudonym for Howitt himself. Some were re-issued by S W Fores in 1804, and in 1807 he is listed as a publisher at 7 Artillery Street, of a print by Rowlandson.

[Rural Idyll]
[Anon., c.1760]
Etching, platemark 190 x 240mm (7½ x 9½"). Large margins.
Fascinating and rare pastoral scene showing a dozen figures (and a dog) playing on swings, singing, and taking part in other activities. The scene echoes the landscapes of Gaspar Poussin and the fêtes champêtres painted by Watteau and his contemporaries. The classical vase on a plinth on the right, for instance, is an explicit act of homage to painters of Italian landscape. The bizarre mask in the lower right corner, however, suggests something more than straightforward pastiche.

Hand-coloured etching, sheet 255 x 360mm (10 x 14¼"), On paper watermarked, 'J Whatman Turkey Mill 1829.' Trimmed to plate top and left. Light creasing an surface dirt. Staining.
Nine vignettes: ''Lodging at a Farm House'', Pickle, morose, leans on a table as the farmer’s wife in mid-18th-century dress holds a tattered book, saying, ''I ha gotten a Book Sir her es half the whole duty of man— and we shant be so dull presently as they be going to toll the bell for the Tailor as is just dead.'' ''Weeds''—walking through fields, Pickle gives a coin to one of two rural children. ''Village Gossip'', a barber shaves Pickle while holding his nose, as the farmer’s wife peeps round a folding screen; the barber recounts, ''Yes Sir, one Thought you Mad another you was a fraudulent Bankrupt… Mrs Maggot said you might be a Papist Conspirator & the Beadles wife feared you might hang yourself & cause Trouble to the Parish.'' ''Thorns'', his coat-tail is torn by a briar on a country walk. ''Crossing the Farmyard'',approaching a stile, his coat is seized by a chained watchdog, with hostile turkeys, geese, a boar, scampering pigs, and a bull beyond; a grinning yokel watches from the paling. ''Patience'', he sits on a tomb in the churchyard. ''Rural Evening Walk'', Pickle perches on a bank with feet in a swamp while two yokels watch and whistle; he exclaims, ''A Plague upon those rascally clowns sending one round about down the Bank, over the Moor—through Deadmans Lane & the Halfpenny Hatch—and now up to my knees in this swamp and—good Lord theres a thieves whistle.'' ''A Morning Walk'', reading as he walks, he nearly steps into a stream. ''Blue Devils'', in his farmhouse, Pickle sits beset by tiny demons: one holds a noose, another points to an imp under a book labeled Faux Pas, a bill-sticker demon hovers with ''Bank Stopt Payment'', and others manipulate a watch; he laments, ''Was ever any poor wretch so beset by the blue Devils as I am—not ten o'clock yet, not so much as a mouse stirring through the Village, not a soul to speak to.''

Portrait of Benjamin Rush Dr. Benjamin Rush (1746 -1813) was an American revolutionary, a Founding Father of the United States and signatory to the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and a civic leader in Philadelphia, where he was a physician, politician, social reformer, humanitarian, educator, and the founder of Dickinson College. Rush was a Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress. He later described his efforts in support of the American Revolution, saying: "He aimed right." He served as surgeon general of the Continental Army and became a professor of chemistry, medical theory, and clinical practice at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Benjamin Rush was a leader of the American Enlightenment and an enthusiastic supporter of the American Revolution. He was a leader in Pennsylvania's ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788. He was prominent in many reforms, especially in the areas of medicine and education. He opposed slavery, advocated free public schools, and sought improved, but patriarchal, education for women, and a more enlightened penal system. As a leading physician, Rush had a major impact on the emerging medical profession.

[n.d. c.1840.]
Soft-ground etching. 243 x 186mm. Trimmed.
James Bloomfield Rush (1800-1849) murdered Isaac Jermy (his landlord), Mrs Jermy and the maid at Stanfield Hall, Norfolk, England, on 28 November 1848. Rush became known as the ‘Killer in the Fog' and was hanged for his crime on 21 April 1849. Following the mysterious deaths of his father and mother, he soon discovered that he was not left any inheritance, and thus supposedly forged a codicil to state that the youngest child would have to turn 18 before any of them could inherit. It is clear that Rush essentially stole the inheritence of his step-father, and his wife, in order to help bail himself out from imminent bankruptcy. All the loans owed to Isaac Jermy fell due on 30 November 1848, two days after the murders took place.
