Abstract:
"Plate 1: One of a set of eight plates, all with three bordered horizontal strips (catalogued as a, b, c), evidently intended to be cut up to form a border, as BMSat 9488, &c. The B.M. impressions [catalogued by M.D. George in 1942] have been cut, each plate divided into two and arranged haphazard. [The titles and imprints have been taken from A. de R. vii, 32-47. The last three prints were published in 1801 but have been included to avoid dividing the set.] The figures are grotesque, with large heads, arranged generally in groups, their speeches etched above. The satire (sometimes pointed) is generally social, occasionally political. The centre group is a forestaller in corn being tossed in a blanket by four men; three spectators applaud. See BMSat 9545, &c. 'Paddy and Johnny Bull walk arm in arm saying long life to the Union. . . '. See BMSat 9284, &c"--British Museum online catalogue
