- Abstract:
- A scene with a group of mourners in a landscape, a palm tree to the left with a monkey watching and pointing to the drama. A man standing to the right reads from a book; three other figures, another man and a woman with a child on her back weep as they watch two men lower the deceased into the grave. The man on the right says, "How precious pale he look in de face." The other man holding the other end of the stretcher says, "Aye-Aye, him be no Moor."
- Description:
- Title etched below image., Later state of a plate first published by Gabriel Shire Tregear in 1834, the year in which the Slavery Abolition Act came into force. The original print was one of twenty caricatures with the series title 'Tregear's Black Jokes'. The prints developed the theme of the earlier 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures (of which Tregear published copies), lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population. After Tregear's death, the plates for 'Tregear's Black Jokes' passed to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this later state. The three mentions of Tregear's name on the plate have either been changed to Lewis's or simply effaced., Dated 1860 by the Library of Congress, but Hickman suggests that the prints were issued before that date., "Catalogue of prints"--Etched in lower right corner., and Sheet trimmed to plate mark.

- "Scene in a bedroom, meanly furnished except for a four-post curtained bed (left) and a carpeted floor; it is lit by a single candle or rush-light. Lady Eldon (right), a lean and ugly virago, assails the ex-Chancellor with a shovel, holding him by the coat. He tries to escape, shrieking, I cou'dn't in conscience my love, act with them--why, they are all in league with the Devil. Lady Eldon: Conscience, indeed! I'll conscience you! Aye, aye, Sir, you don't know your friends from your foes. I'll make you learn to keep a good place when you've got one; you shan't be idling at home earning nothing. What business is it of your's who's who as long as you have got a good place and are well paid for it. Under the bed is a box of Smuggled Goods. On the wall is a picture: Taking leave of the Court of Conscience. In this Eldon leans from a desk holding a handkerchief towards his eyes, facing a group of standing barristers. On the floor is a book: Rule a Husband and have a Husband [parodying the title of Fletcher's comedy, 'Rule a wife ...]."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The King stands waist-deep in a broad-based Green Bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735), holding up his arms, and exclaiming: "A Rat! A Rat! my Kingdom for a Rat!!!" Huge rats climb up the bag and nibble at it, others run towards it, or emerge from holes. Ministers are imprisoned in the bag with the King, and struggle to get out. Near the base (left) emerge the head and arms of Castlereagh; he says: "Knaw away my fine fellows and extricate me." Above him is Sidmouth, crying: "I wish I could find some hole large enough to creep out at." Eldon's head and hands emerge from three holes; he asks: "Was the Pillory ever made for me? will no Rat assist me? let me out to consider of it." Above him is Liverpool, saying: "We shall certainly be all smother'd in this Infernal Bag." The Devil is between Castlereagh and Eldon, shovel in hand; he says: "I can make a hole for myself to creep out at." Each rat has an inscription: 'Church' and 'Corruption' are on the bag, flanking the King. Other nibblers are 'Pension', 'Place', 'Sinacure' [sic], and 'Dr Slop' [Stoddart, i.e. the 'New Times']; near the last is the 'Courier', and behind (right) the 'Vice C--' [Leach]. John Bull and Mrs. Bull, a farmer and his wife, stand on the left and right; John holds the chain of his savage dog, still attached to its kennel but eager to get at the rats; he says: "Odzooks, I'll let my Dog loose and worry them all." Mrs. Bull points angrily, and shouts: "Destroy the Vermin John--let our Dog loose.""--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The King and Queen (left), seated under a canopy decorated with a crown and the royal arms, listen enraptured to a concert; the performers are arranged in a pyramid on the right. Numbers on the figures refer to notes engraved beneath the design. George III leans back, his hands clasped, eyes turned ecstatically upwards; he wears a laurel wreath and his head is surrounded by a star-shaped halo. The Queen sits upright with an eager expression, beating time; her hair and scraggy neck are covered with jewels (cf. BMSat 6978, &c). On the extreme left, and on the King's right, stands Pitt, very erect, a rattle in his right hand, blowing a whistle attached to a child's coral and bells. Behind the Queen are two ladies: '4', lean and ugly, holds an ear-trumpet to her ear; ['5'], who is stout, holds a parakeet on her finger. This group is: '1 Mr P------t'. '2 K------'. '3 Q------'. '4 Mad. Schw---gh--n' [Schwellenberg]. '5 Miss Jeff-----s' [Elizabeth Jefferyes or Jeffries, a Maid of Honour]. The royal party are on a circular carpet. On the roof of the canopy sits a demon holding up a purse in each hand, emblem of the supposed avarice of the King and Queen, a favourite subject with Gillray, cf. BMSat 7166, and see BMSat 7836, &c. Three demon hounds, inscribed 'G. R. Windsor', chase a realistically drawn fox (Fox), to whose tail is tied (by a ribbon inscribed 'Coalition') a pot with the features of North. The performers are arranged behind a low semicircular barrier. A stout man with a goat's head is asleep on the left, his hands clasped on his breast; from his pocket protrudes a paper inscribed 'Road to Wynnstay' (cf. BMSat 7068, &c). He is '6 Sr W. W. W-----ne' [Williams-Wynn], one of the founders of 'The Concert of Antient Music'. A demon child and an infant with butterfly-wings sit together on the barrier, singing from one book. A braying ass holding a book is '7 Mr Assb-----ge' (Ashbridge, a celebrated kettle-drummer). A bird of prey (? an owl) wearing a large cap stands on the barrier, a piece of music under its claws inscribed 'Anointed Solomon, King over all, E------'. She is '8 Mad. Mara.' Next '7' is seated a large ox supporting a music-book on his hoofs. He is 'J------h B--tes' (Joah Bates, originator (1776) and conductor of 'The Concert of Antient Music'). In the second row of performers (right to left) is a group (behind '7' and '8') of three fishwives: '10, D------ R------d'. the Duke of Richmond, with a basket of fish on his head, arms akimbo, is scolding '11, M-----s La--sd--e' (Marquis Lansdowne), while '12, Col. B--r-' (Barré), his eyes closed, joins in the dispute. An allusion to the altercation in the House of Lords over Richmond's proposed fortifications (see BMSat 7149 etc.). Next, realistically drawn, is '13 Sir J. M--why' (Mawbey), holding under his arm a squeaking pig whose tail he is twisting as if it were a musical instrument. Mawbey, as a distiller, was famous for keeping large quantities of hogs, see BMSats 5746, 7506, &c. Two lawyers sing from the same music; they are '14 Atty Genl' (Arden) and '15 Sollr Genl' (Macdonald). Behind their heads, and towards the apex of the pyramid, stand two judges facing each other, each holding a chimney-sweep's shovel and brush which they strike together in the manner of chimney-sweeps on May Day. They are '16. D--n--as' (Dundas) and '17. Ld L--ghb--gh' (Loughborough). The former's shovel is decorated with a thistle, the latter's with a man hanging from a gibbet, with the date '1745' and 'Kenn Com' in allusion to the Jacobites executed on Kennington Common, one of whom was Sir John Wedderburn. The apex of the pyramid is '18. Ch--n--ll--r', Thurlow, standing with a fierce expression; he holds up a pair of birch-rods above the bare posteriors of two terrified boys who serve as kettle-drums. Two squalling and fighting cats hang from the ceiling by ribbons attached to their tails. Beneath the design is engraved: '------Monarchs, who with Rapture wild, Hear their own Praise with Mouths of gaping Wonder, And control each Crotchet of the Birth-day Thunder. Peter Pindar.' The satire illustrates this and other passages from 'Ode upon Ode', which attack Pitt for obsequiousness to the King, and the King and Queen for their parsimony in attending the Concerts of Antient Music as subscribers instead of having concerts at their palace: '- Monarchs, who with oeconomic Fury Force all the tuneful World to Tot'n'am Lane.' Mawbey is mentioned: 'Strains! that Sir Joseph Mawbey deem'd divine, Sweet as the Quavers of his fattest Swine.' Wynn also: 'The sleek Welsh Deity who Music knows- The Alexander of the Tot'n'am Troops.' Richmond is mentioned: 'Mad as his Military Grace For fortifying ev'ry Place . . .' The cats: 'How like the Notes of Cats, a vocal Pair.'"--British Museum online catalogue
