[Three engravings published in the Carlton House Magazine] Sunday Work which ought to be prohibited [&] The Bakers Sunday Triumph [&] The Rev.d G.H.J. Esq.r
[Published by W. & J. Stratford (?), c.1794]
Three engravings, each platemark approx. 180 x 115mm (6¾ x 4¼").
Three prints published in the 'Carlton House Magazine'. 'The Bakers Sunday Triumph' shows bakers rejoicing while the Albion Mills (a steam-powered flour mill in Southwark, inspiration for William Blake's ''dark satanic mills''; the fire is illustrated in Ackermann's Microcosm of London) burns behind them, in celebration of George III's act forbidding the baking of bread on Sundays. This plate was a reissue of a print by Barlow after Collings titled 'Conflagration! Or the Merry Mealmongers', published in the 'Attic Miscellany' in 1791. It is likely that the other two plates were also reissues.

Top left a policeman says he has to get permission from the Bishop to intervene to stop a man hanging himself. Top right a man is stopped from calling the midwife.
