1809006608Cheapside London: T. Tegg November 1809. NA. Very Good. Framed. 38 by 47 cm. The hand-colored engraving itself measures 24 by 33 cm. Used in a theatrical promotion for a performance by Charles Kemble at the Theatre Royale in Covent Garden in 1809. This print is part six in a set. While George Cruikshank is credited with this print there was speculation that his father Isaac Cruikshank might have collaborated on it or done it in its entirety as the style is somewhat different -- looser or more abstract in its conception -- than the other prints in the set. Here Kemble in costume surrounded by Old Price Riot iconography gallops towards "The Road to Ruin" the title of a Holcroft play performed in 1809. Old prices and economy are scattered to the winds. The horse reins and saddle-cloth are covered with particulars of the affair; likewise Kemble's clothes. Actors are likened to vagrants strollers vagabonds prostitues. Contempt for the profession was shared for different reasons by both the high and low born and Kemble was seen as essentially not knowing his proper place. The print suggests that the theater and also the nation would only be returned to health when Kemble was chastened and put back in his place. <br/><br/> T. Tegg unknown books

1791WRCAM51520London: H. Humphreis sic 1791. Handcolored etching 14 x 21 inches. Cropped within plate borders with no loss to image or text. Remnants of older paper pasted to verso. Color bright and fresh. Near fine. In 1789 and 1790 Nootka Sound in the Pacific Northwest looked to be the spur of a major conflict between the kingdoms of Britain and Spain. The inlet was an important outpost for maritime fur trading and had therefore become the focus of the centuries-old struggle for advantage in the New World. Courtesy of explorer and trader John Meares news of Spanish indiscretions reached Britain in 1790 and intensified the growing anti- Spanish rhetoric and call for war. Meares whose credibility was famously contested in two remarkable pamphlets by George Dixon claimed not only that the Spanish had seized British ships but that they had removed his settlement at Nootka and replaced it with their own. After debate in the House of Commons it was decided the British Navy would be mobilized. <br> <br> While Spain initially sought to go to war they could not attain the essential support of France and thus required a diplomatic solution to the problem. This came in the form of the first Nootka Convention which was signed on Oct. 28 1790. The convention guaranteed Britain the right to have outposts on Nootka Sound and to practice whaling in waters beyond the "Ten-League Line" off the coast. The Convention eventually resulted in the seminal voyage of George Vancouver to survey the Pacific Northwest. <br> <br> This print is a satire on the British Tory government's handling of the crisis. Its central critical point attacks part of the convention concerning fishing rights which Pitt's opposition latched onto as evidence of underhanded dealings. They noted that the original importance of Nootka Sound was not for whaling but rather for fur trading and that the whaling industry had surely redirected political attention toward their interests. Thus the print shows Pitt and Henry Dundas in the Pacific off the west coast of North America hopelessly fishing with millions from the treasury. As Pitt expresses worry over the spending Dundas soothes him with the knowledge that "the Gudgeons we caught in England will pay for it all." In saying so Dundas declares the Britons who supported the war to have been bait for his and Pitt's political maneuvering. The coastline is shown from southern Alaska to Mexico likewise making this an early map of California Alaska and the west coast. <br> <br> In all it is a lively expression of disbelief and anger at the amount expended on preparing for war set against the eventual prize - namely the indeterminate profitability of whaling.

A Superb Social Satire by Robert Cruikshank Ca. 1820. Isaac Robert Cruikshank son of Isaac and elder brother of the more famous George was a caricaturist illustrator and particularly apropos of the picture offered here portrait miniaturist. His first caricatures appeared around 1810 and were often produced in conjunction with his brother Geroge with whom he shared a studio. Notes Bryant and Heneage "Of his Robert's social satires those he made of the dandies and the fashion for 'hobby horses' in the early 1820s are among the most attractive." We are pleased to be able to offer a fine example of this genre. Bryant & Heneage Dictionary of British Cartoonists and Caricaturists p. 52 unknown books
