Etching, sheet 90 x 165mm (3½ x 6½"). Trimmed to image and glued to backing sheet.
View across Tothill Fields towards Westminster Abbey (marked 'S.

Copy by Abraham Aubry of an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), whose etching was originally issued as part of a set of four English views (the other three were of central London and Windsor).

From a series of portraits by Count Alfred Guillaume Gabriel d'Orsay (1801 - 1852), Paris-born artist and gentleman of fashion.

D'Orsay was a Frenchman who lived his life in England with his only love who, alas, was not his wife. Neither his marriage nor hers prevented the pair from living together.

The Tower in a State of Siege. The Dreadful Riots of November 1830.
Printed by C. Motte, 23, Leicester Square.
[n.d. c.1830.]
Lithograph, unique with added comments in black ink. 290 x 368mm (11½ x 14½"). Fold in image. Time stained.
Starting on 5 November 1830, the middle classes began to petition parliament for reform. A mob, chiefly of women and children, assails the Tower, the outer battlements of which are defended by soldiers; the embrasures bristle with cannon, and the commander declares [in black] " 'We will never Surrender'. Clouds of smoke or dust divide these (small) figures and the White Tower from the mob in the foreground, who are unarmed except for the pea-shooters and wooden swords of little boys, and the chamber-pots of one or two women. A fat fellow with eggs shouts 'Nothing like Rotten Eggs'. A woman with two buckets says: 'Get your Squirts ready here . . . Stuff.' A man prepares to hurl the contents of a bucket, saying, 'here's some that will stick by you'. A child says: 'Here I come with plenty of Peas'. Others shout 'Peas' and 'More Peas'. A ragged man spits, saying, 'here is some of Wisharts best Shagg'. Other shouts are: 'Let the Women have plenty of Gin we shall do them'; 'We will make you Reform'; 'heres plenty of rotten Oranges for nothing'."
