Pub.d 1830 by S.W. Fores, 41 Piccadilly London.
Coloured etching. 250 x 355mm (9¾ x 14"). Trimmed to border and creasing around the edges.
Four donkeys suck tubes sprouting from a barrel marked 'Foetid gas' (in reverse) while a woman and a groom scrub their balding backs with brushes. In the background a man runs from a beadle with a coroner's warrant, shouting 'D.I.O. [Damme I'm off] I'll give you the Long trot'. To the right is 'Long John's Rubbing Stable', closed down. Satire on an infamous quack, John St John Long, who 'treated' consumption and other ailments with corrosive liniments and friction. Despite being denounced in the Lancet as 'king of humbugs' and the deaths of two patients (whose names can be seen in the graveyard), his influential friends and clients seem to have protected him, and the two charges of manslaughter culminated with only one fine of £250. One of these friends would seem to be Mayor of London John Key, whom Heath satirised as 'Don Key'.

[Cambridge. St. John's College. Chapel.] 61. [St. John's College was founded in 1511 through the beneficence of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII., on the suppression of the Hospital of St. John the Evangelist (founded about 1200). The College was brought into existence by the exertions of John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, who supervised the building and drew up the first statutes. The original Master's Lodgings and Chapel, which formerly stood on the north side, were pulled down in 1869. The new Chapel was designed by Sir Gilbert Scott, and stands on the site of what was previously a maze of rooms known as "The Labyrinth" which once housed many of the poorer scholars. It contains effigies and monuments to eminent benefactors, removed from the old Chapel, together with the fine old stalls and the piscina of early 13th century workmanship. Of the famous men associated with the College, the best known are William Cecil, Lord Burghley (who was Chancellor 1559-98) Sir John Cheke, and his pupil Roger Ascham, Sir Thomas Wyatt, Richard Green, Samuel ("Erewhon") Butler, Bishop Wilberforce and William Wordsworth.]

The 'Elizabeth' entering the St Katharine Docks on the opening day. The complex was made-up of two connected basins, the east dock and the west dock. Two steam engines designed by James Watt pumped water to maintain the water level in the docks. The docks had over a million square feet of storage area to house items such as tea, rubber, wool, marble, ivory, tallow and turtle shell. Despite this, the docks were never a great financial success and were finally closed in 1968, having long run at a loss. They were sold by the Port of London Authority to the Greater London Council.

Between wars he was MP for Great Grimsby, but is best-remembered now for instigating the St Leger stakes, one of the classic British flat races.

A view of British warships at St. Lucia, with a flag on Signal Hill on Pigeon Island (now joined to mainland by a causeway). Admiral Rodney made Pigeon Island his base, building Fort Rodney, because he could see the French navy on Martinique from Signal Hill. A month after Forrest drew this view Rodney fought the Battle of Martinique (17the April 1780). From the rare series 'Twelve Views of the Island of Saint Lucia' by Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Ramus Forrest (1750 - 1827). He was a British military officer who served in India, the West Indies, and on the staff of the Earl of Dalhousie, Governor in Chief of Canada, from 1821 to 1823. Although an accomplished amateur artist, Forrest's professional performance did not live up to Dalhousie's expectations and he was dismissed. He returned to England in 1823. His best known work is probably 'A Picturesque Tour along the Rivers Ganges and Jumna', 1824.
