Military pastime, or, The bastards in their glory [and 14 other designs] / [graphic]Grant, C. J. (Charles Jameson), active 1830-1852, lithographer, artist[1 August 1832]engSeven rows of individually-titled designs on one sheet folded in half to create two pages. Starting with the largest design at the top of the first page, "Military pastime, or, The bastards in their glory" shows men in military uniform laughing and drinking at a table on the left while a restrained man is being brutally flogged on the right. The next row contains two images: the first, entitled "The new Germanic crusade against liberty," depicts four soldiers about to place a large conical fire extinguisher labeled "The extinguisher of freedom" over a stove topped with a liberty cap and labeled "Liberty of the press"; the second, entitled "A quietus for the great bear," shows two men in a boat offering a bag labeled "£50000" on a long pole to a hideous monster that clutches nine terrified men in its arms. The single image in the third row, "Smelling for the cholera, nose v. to bluster, oppose scent," shows several men sticking their large, carbuncled noses in various places to the alarm of others. The fourth row, at the top of the second page, contains a single image entitled "Grand glee & chorus as sung at the city reform gorge, July 11th 1832" in which several figures (including a larger man and woman on the right) sing enthusiastically from a balcony labeled with the word "REFORM". The fifth row contains three scenes satirizing William IV and Queen Adelaide: "Bil-king (the people)" is a depiction of the King writing a document for a "Holy Alliance between the sovereigns of Germany, Russia & Great Britian to suppress popular liberty"; "Vinegar and brown paper" shows Adelaide kissing the cheek of William; and "Swallowing a German sausage" shows the Devil about to eat a sausage with the head of Queen Adelaide on one end. The seven images in the final two rows of the second page are social and political satires: "An earwhig - once a sergeant now a general" depicts a man in wig and gown holding a bag labeled "Ex officio bag"; "A secret worth knowing" shows two elderly people with canes conversing; "Stallfed" depicts a large man with the face of a pig dining on a luxuriant meal at a table; "A regular swell" shows an obese man whose body is spherical; "Specimen of a police magistrate" shows the face of a gruff looking man with the dialogue "What do you want to browbeat me" above; "Shooters ill (hill)" is a depiction of three hunters on the ground clutching their stomachs, in obvious distress; and finally, "Heaving a head" shows a man being thrown forward off his horseTitle devised by cataloger, using caption above design at top of first page.Series title and number at top of first page.
