Caught at Last. Serve Him Right. The punishment awarded by the ladies, to the artist who made those impertinent drawings about Crinoline!
London: Published March 17th, 1859, by Read & Co., 10, Johnson's Court, Fleet Street.
Hand coloured lithograph. Sheet size: 280 x 375mm (11 x 14¾"). Scarce. Glued to backing sheet.
A satire depicting a man trapped under a large Crinoline by five women, each taunting him. Crinoline was a stiff fabric which first appeared around 1830, but by 1850 the term had come to mean a stiffened petticoat or rigid skirt-shaped structure of steel, designed to support the skirts of a woman’s dress in the required shape. The crinoline was the subject of much ridicule and satire, particularly in Punch magazine. Dress reformers did not like it either — they seized upon the cage aspect of the crinoline and claimed that it effectively imprisoned women.

Engraving. 110 x 80mm (4¼ x 3¼"), set in text.
An oval bust portrait of Michael Servetus (Miguel Serveto, c.1510-53), Spanish theologian, physician and humanist, who published the first European description of pulmonary circulation. He also edited the text for the 1535 Waldseemuller/Fries edition of Ptolemy's 'Geographia'. In 1553 Calvin had Servtus burned at the stake, along with his books: one of the charges was his 'Geographia' text contradicted the description of the Holy Land in the Book of Exodus as a 'land flowing with milk and honey'. However Servetus had just copied the passage from earlier editions. From ''Apocalypsis, or, The revelation of certain notorious advancers of heresie wherein their visions and private revelations by dreams, are discovered to be most incredible blasphemies, and enthusiastical dotages : together with an account of their lives, actions and ends : whereunto are added the effigies of seventeen (who excelled the rest in rashness, impudence and lying) : done in copper plates faithfully and impartially translated out of the Latine by J.D.''.

This print was engraved by Bathelémy Roger 'under the supervision of' Jacques Louis Copia, after Antoine Boizot.
