"They Won't be Happy Till They Get 'Em."
[Etched by Frank Paton.] G.Yates Carrington /88
[London, Published May 17th 1889 by E.E.Leggatt, 62 Cheapside, E.C.]
Rare etching. 285 x 355mm (11¼ x 14"). Various repaired tears not in the cricket image.
The central image of two terriers either side of a guinea pig's hutch is surrounded by nine vignette scenes. One of these is a cricket match, a scoreboard inscribed with the scores of the opening batsmen: 302 and 189 runs for numbers 1 and 2 respectively. Frank Paton (1856 - 1909) was a successful artist during his lifetime and could even count Queen Victoria as an admirer of his work. He is perhaps most widely known for his series of etched Christmas cards published annually by Edward Ernest Leggatt from 1880 until Paton's death in 1909. They were intended to be a cut above the average Christmas card and sold for half a guinea each. Their format became quite formulaic over the years. A central subject reflecting the title of the print was usually complemented by a series of often humorous sketches around its border. A number of the prints would be sent from the printers to be signed in pencil by Paton, as here. A cricketing item.

Count Imre Thököly de Késmárk (1658-1705), Hungarian nobleman who led an anti-Habsburg uprising, following his father Istvan (who died when he was a child) in doing so. He led an army of rebels, reinforced by Turkish and Transylvanian forces, and established himself as Prince of Upper Hungary (1682-5). Having formed an alliance with the Ottoman Empire, Thököly assisted the Turks in the Battle of Vienna in 1683, in which intervention from the Polish army of Sobieski led to a decisive defeat for the Ottoman army. Thököly then tried to reconcile himself with Habsburg Emperor Leopold I, offering to lay down his arms in exchange for recognition of Thököly as Prince of Upper Hungary and confirmation of Protestant religious rights in Hungary. Leopold, however, demanded complete surrender, and Thököly renewed hostilities. This 1685 campaign was also a failure and ended in imprisonment. Although Thököly achieved subsequent victories with diminished forces, he lost his principality of Upper Hungary and finally retired to Galata, near Istanbul, with large estates granted him by Sultan Mustafa II.

He subsequently moved to the Electorate of Bavaria and entered into the employ of the Bavarian government, heavily reorganising the Bavarian Army.
