Published by G.S. Tregear, 96 Cheapside. [n.d., c.1830.]
Lithograph. Sheet: 355 x 260mm (14 x 10¼''). Trimmed.
Henry Brougham (1778-1868), stands outside a Registry Office looking at a notice board of menial jobs. In the background a streetseller holds a placard, 'Hall of Information, Strand.' In November 1834 Brougham enraged the King by taking the Great Seal across the Scottish border and indulged in uncharacteristic extravagances. Dismissed and desperate to return to power, he offered to become a judge without any pay beyond his ex-Lord Chancellor's pension.

An invalid tells his black servant 'Pompey' that he has made provision in his will for Pompey to be buried beside him in the same tomb.

![[Apocrypha Combatants. Being a Series of Twelve Caricatures, Illustrative of that Controversy.]](jpegs/18281.jpg)
[Apocrypha Combatants. Being a Series of Twelve Caricatures, Illustrative of that Controversy.]
[Published by Thomas Sinclair, West Regester Street Edinburgh, n.d., 1828.]
Oblong quarto, original card covers, stitched, ink mss. title, rubbed; 16 lithographs (5 with old colour) from the two 'Apocrypha Combatants' series (1-5, 8-12 of the First Series, 1-6 of the second series; and six further lithographs in the same style. Lacking title sheets. Scarce collection. Some wear, one of the extra plates with a tear into image.
A scarce series of caricatures satirising the controversy over which of the Apocrypha should be included in the bible. Andrew Mitchell Thomson (1779–1831) resigned from the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1824, on the grounds that they had bound up the Apocrypha with the Bible. He used his ‘Christian Instructor’ to condemn them, creating this controversy, lasting until 1836. Apocrypha means 'hidden things' in Greek. The Apocryphical books of the Bible fall into two categories: texts which were included in some canonical version of the Bible at some point, and other texts of a Biblical nature which have never been canonical. Thomas Sinclair (1805-81), born in the Orkney Isles, studied lithography in Edinburgh. He had emigrated to Philadelphia by 1833, where he worked for Kennedy & Lucas before setting up his own firm in 1838. He was one of the first printers in Philadelphia to experiment with colour lithography.
See BM Satire: 15573, etc. As the BM only has 1-6 of the second series it is unlikely more were published (they have only a photostat of plate 2.)

Best Mode of Going to Bartholomew Fair.
Designed and Etched by T. Lane.
Pub. by G. Hunt Corner of York St & Bridges St.
Fine coloured aquatint. Sheet 305 x 225mm (12 x 8¾"). Trimmed within plate, tear through title, laid on album paper.
A man smoking a pipe and carrying a cudgel, his body protected by a barrel with spikes, heavy boots protrunding from the bottom. Bartholomew Fair, held on the 24th August in Smithfield, was founded as a cloth fair in 1133. It expanded over the years to include sideshows, especially prize-fighters, musicians, wire-walkers, acrobats, puppets, freaks and wild animals, as illustrated in a famous view in the 'Microcosm of London'. However it also became increasing rowdy, with fights and muggings, as satirised here, and eventually the fair was suppressed in 1855.

A Buck and a Doe
[Paul Pry monogram] Esq Del
London, Published by Tho.s McLean 26 Haymarket, 1827
Etching with hand-colouring, platemark 265 x 375mm (10½ x 14¾"), with very large margins. Trimmed inside platemark; unidentified collector's stamp verso.
Two contrasting men, exemplifying different fashions and physiognomies. The printmaker William Heath (1794-1840) used the pseudonym Paul Pry (taken from the name of a character in John Poole's 1825 comedy, and used to describe a very inquisitive person) between 1827-9, and rather than signing his name he used the 'Paul Pry' monogram seen here, a small man holding a walking stick. However this figure began to be copied by other caricaturists (including Sharpshooter ) and so Heath reverted to his own name.

Etching with hand-colouring, platemark 265 x 375mm (10½ x 14¾"), with very large margins. Trimmed inside platemark; unidentified collector's stamp verso.
Two contrasting men, exemplifying different fashions and physiognomies. The printmaker William Heath (1794-1840) used the pseudonym Paul Pry (taken from the name of a character in John Poole's 1825 comedy, and used to describe a very inquisitive person) between 1827-9, and rather than signing his name he used the 'Paul Pry' monogram seen here, a small man holding a walking stick. However this figure began to be copied by other caricaturists (including Sharpshooter ) and so Heath reverted to his own name.
