Satire on disputes in the parish of St Paul's, Covent Garden. The Devil stands on a rooftop, overturning a dinner-table and upsetting the guests who fall on clouds of dust. The guests are also assailed by harpies (winged men whose bodies terminate in barbed and scaly tails). One of these is James Corder, holding a long bill for various dinners. He attacks 'the Grand Carver mounted on his Cockroach' (Roach) and holds out a paper inscribed 'Majority 7'. The dust forms a background, and is inscribed Dust for the Eyes of the Parishioners; looming through it is the façade of St. Paul's, Covent Garden. In April 1828 Corder was elected Vestry Clerk for St Paul's, Covent Garden, beating Roach by a majority of seven.

Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket where Political & other Caricatures are Daily brough out [n.d. c.April 1828.]
Fine hand-coloured etching. Plate 260 x 375mm (10¼ x 14¾"). Trimmed to plate at bottom. Large margins on 3 sides.
Satire on disputes in the parish of St Paul's, Covent Garden. The Devil stands on a rooftop, overturning a dinner-table and upsetting the guests who fall on clouds of dust. The guests are also assailed by harpies (winged men whose bodies terminate in barbed and scaly tails). One of these is James Corder, holding a long bill for various dinners. He attacks 'the Grand Carver mounted on his Cockroach' (Roach) and holds out a paper inscribed 'Majority 7'. The dust forms a background, and is inscribed Dust for the Eyes of the Parishioners; looming through it is the façade of St. Paul's, Covent Garden. In April 1828 Corder was elected Vestry Clerk for St Paul's, Covent Garden, beating Roach by a majority of seven.

Tom Merry. Del et Lith.
Coloured lithograph. 374 x 545mm (14¾ x 21½"). Vertical fold down the middle, as issued. A few small tears to edges
An attack on Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-98, Liberal Prime Minister but here Leader of the Opposition), whose father, Sir John Gladstone, had been one of the largest slave owners in the British Empire. Earlier in his career he was an opponent of the abolition of slavery, saying that emancipation should only happen after the moral education of the slaves. Here the suggestion is that the morals of the Gladstone family also needed attention, with the black workers on Gladstone's estates having a family resemblence. Tom Merry's wicked caricature published in 4 February 1888, of the Hawarden Wood Block Estate Company, where Gladstone sets his ‘Demarara cousins’ to work. William Mecham (1853-1902) had a music hall act in which he drew caricatures at lighning speed. 'St Stephen's Review', a Conservative weekly magazine, ran from 1883 to 1892.

Irish M.P.s.
['Paul Pry' monogram of William Heath.]
Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket where political and other Caricature are daily publishing [n.d., c.1829.]
Hand-coloured etching, 260 x 370mm (14½ x 10¼"). Some small stains largely in margins but enters coloured border top right. Small margins top and bottom.
Political satire: an Irish schoolmaster-priest, sitting in a chair taking a pinch of snuff, teaches a dwarfish Irish peasant, ragged and barelegged. The peasant answers "O'C—for O'Connell thats right—now Pat what does MP stand for eh?" with: "Mealy Potato". The Irish nationalist politician Daniel O'Connell (1775 - 1847) was satirized as a potato by Heath in 1829 (see BM Satires 15684). By William Heath (1794/5 - 1840), ex-Captain of Dragoons, illustrator of colour-plate books, and prolific caricaturist. From 1827-9 he used the pseudonym Paul Pry (from the name of a character in a comedy of 1825 by John Poole, that became a tag used for any very inquisitive person), with the emblem of a small man holding a walking stick in a lower corner of his plates. This figure was soon copied by other caricaturists (eg Sharpshooter), and so from 1828 Heath began to sign his plates with his full name. He published regularly with Thomas McLean.
