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'."

W.L. Wyllie. [pencil]/
[n.d. c.1920.]
Etching, signed in pencil. Plate 202 x 252mm. 8 x 10".
A view across a busy River Thames, with various steam barges and rowing vessels, towards the Tower of London. William L. Wyllie (1851-1931) was born on July 5th 1851, in London. He attended Heatherley's art school until the age of fifteen, leaving to study at the Royal Academy Schools, where he won the Turner Medal at the age of eighteen. In the early 1870's Wyllie became an illustrator for the Graphic and also held several exhibitions at the galleries of the Fine Art Society. In 1889 he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, where he exhibited his work in 1901. Wyllie spent much of his time at sea working for the White Star Shipping Line. He also served in the Royal Navy during WWI, painting seascapes and coastal landscapes. His etchings and watercolours showing working life on the Thames and the Medway brought him widespread popularity. Later in his life he played an important role in the restoration of the Victory. Wyllie died on the 6th April 1931 in Hampstead, and scouts from the 1st Portchester Sea Scout Troop, which he had founded, rowed his coffin across Portsmouth Harbour for his burial at Portchester Castle.
