Published for the Satirist. April 1.st 1809. by S Tipper 37 Leadenhall Street.
Etching with aquatint, sheet 205 x 380mm (8¼ x 15"). Trimmed within plate bottom and right. Folds as issued. Samll hole in image on right.
Plate from the Satirist, iv. 313. Mary Anne Clarke (1776-1852), lightly clad, sits astride a black goat facing the tail which she holds, wrapped in a Letter, in her right hand; the animal has the face of Col Gwyllym Lloyd Wardle (c.1762-1833). Holding one of its long horns, William Pleydell-Bouverie, 3rd Earl of Radnor, (Viscount Folkstone) (1779-1869) drags it forwards while Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet, (1770-1844) tugs at the rope around its neck. Samuel Whitbread (1764 -1815) steadies Mrs. Clarke while William Cobbett (1763-1835) pushes it aside. A boisterous group are watching and cheering with bludgeons and hats. "Here I am / Upon a black ram / Like a Wh—e as I am," Mrs. Clarke declares with a smile. A paper with the title ‘Lines to be Repeated at the House’ is held by her. A big spur with six points that reads, ‘Malice, Arrogance, Interest, Disappointment, Revenge, Ingratitude,’ is fastened to her slipper. From Cobbett's pockets project papers, 'Subscription for Miss Taylor and Cobbetts Political [Reg]ister.' He holds a piece of Democratic Ginger with which he is about to ginger the goat. He says, " A Fig for such a Ram. (To fig (from feague) is to ginger a horse.)" Behind him walks a fashionably dressed man with a pamphlet in his pocket, 'Hague's Letter to the Duke of York'. "I say Tom—How goes Trade in the Informing line?" inquires one of the debased-looking rabble. Burdett puts a coin in the hand of a ragged ruffian and says, "No Bribery No Corruption —come give us a cheer my lad & here's a Guinea for you." The man shouts, "No Bribery—No Corruption—Burdett for ever Wardle for ever No Duke." Others yell, "Burdett for ever" and "Wardle for ever." Sir Watkin Williams Wynn (1772-1840) and his brother, Charles (1775-1850), both of whom have leeks in their hats, exchange "This will keep us awake Watky" and "Aye I think we shall Wynne the day now." In the background is inscribed Westbourne Place.
