* Dighton (Robert). The First Meeting of the Princess of Brunswick, with The Prince of Wales, and The Marriage of The Prince of Wales, to the Princess of Brunswick, pub. Laurie & Whittle, 19th May 1795 & 20th June 1795, respectively, pair of mezzotint engravings with original hand colouring, some dust soiling and staining largely confined to margins, each approx. 360 x 255mm (14 x 10 inches), framed and glazed in 19th century stained wood frames. Dighton has shown remarkable restraint in this pair of mezzotints. The Prince Regent was appalled at the appearance of his bride and in the three days that elapsed between their first meeting and their marriage he found nothing about Princess Caroline that changed his initial opinion. The marriage was a farce as George immediately returned to his mistress`. The pair were never reconciled and the animosity that grew between them culminated in Caroline`s very public humiliation in being denied entrance to her husband`s coronation. (2)

Lot 277

H.Humphrey, Feb. 12th 1793, etching on wove with vibrant original hand colouring, tipped on to near contemp. paper, very slight marginal soiling, 355 x 250mm (14 x 9.75 inches) A searing prophetic caricature of London as it would appear after a French invasion. The English church and judiciary swing from the street lights. St. Pauls burns in the distance and the King lies beneath the blade of the Guillotine. A ragged `sans culottes` plays the fiddle whilst watching the scenes of chaos in the streets below. (1)

Lot 278

H.Humphrey March 1st, 1793, etching with bright original hand colouring, trimmed inside plate mark and glued onto old album page, 345 x 240mm (13.5 x 9.5 inches. Charles Fox is shown as a revolutionary `sans culottes` with blood stained hands, the legs of a goat and the implication of a serious attck of flatulence. This was one of the most un-subtle caricatures of Fox ever published. The ironic `Ca ira` was the chorus of a democratic song of the day. This image was one of the few caricatures of the statesmen to which he truly took offence. (1)

Lot 282

* Gillray (James). The Reception of the Diplomatique & his suite, at the Court of Pekin, pub. H.Humphrey, Sept. 14th 1792, etching on wove with pale orig. hand colouring, 315 x 400mm (12.25 x 15.75 inches) Great Brtain`s Embassy in China was led by Lord Macartney who famously ignored the etiquette of the Chinese court and refused to abase himself in front of the Emperor on the grounds that such prostrations were unbecoming for a representative of the British Sovreign. As a result he was summarily dismissed and told to leave Peking within two days. As well as destroying Macartney`s career it removed any influence that Britian had in China for several years. One of Lord Macartney`s attaches described the experience thus. `We entered Pekin like paupers, remained in it like prisoners and departed from it like vargrants`. The magnitude of the diplomatic disaster is brilliantly captured by Gillray in this scathing political caricature. (1)

Lot 284

* Gillray (James). The Death of the Great Wolf. We have overcome all Opposition! - exclaimed the Messengers, - ÒI`m satisfiedÓ. - said the Dying Hero & Expired in the Moment of Victory, pub. H.Humphrey Dec 17th 1795, etching on wove with fine original hand colouring, bottom margin trimmed just inside plate mark, signs of earlier adhesion on verso, 330 x 440mm (13 x 17.25mm) A Parody on Benjamin West`s famous painting.

* Gillray (James). Doctor Sangrado curing John Bull of Repletion with the kind offices of young Clysterpipe & little Boney, pub. H.Humphrey May 2nd. 1803, etching on wove with bright original hand colouring, laid onto an old album page, trimmed to plate mark, 265 x 365mm (10.5 x 14.5 inches) A satire based on a character from the novel `Gil Blas` by Alain-Rene Lesage where Dr Sangrado prescribes warm water and bleeding for every ailment. Dr Sangrado in Gillray`s caricature is Lord Addington who had controversially appointed his very young son to the lucrative clerkship of the Pells on a salary of £3000 per annum. Addington bleeds John Bull whose blood falls into the young boys hat and also into that of Napoleon Bonaparte. Sheridan and Fox hold out bowls of hot water hoping for a share of the riches being bled from John Bull. (1)

Lot 292

* Gillray (James). Introduction of Citizen Volpone & his Suite at Paris - Vide The Moniteur & Cobbetts Letters, pub. H.Humphrey, Nov. 15th 1802, etching on wove with original hand colouring, closed repaired tears to margins not affecting image, mount stained and toned overall, 255 x 360mm (10 x 14 inches) Charles Fox and his obese wife, together with Lord and Lady Holland, Sir Robert Adair, Arthur O`Conner and Erskine are making their abeyance to Napolean Bonaparte. Fox was certainly introduced to Bonaparte at a levee held at the Tuilleries, where Napolean was extremely polite and complimentary to Fox. Gillray, who did not share Fox`s republican sympathies, has depicted - somewhat unfairly - Fox and his party as sycophants fawning at Napoleans`s feet whereas in true life they met as equals. (1)

Lot 299

* Gillray (James after). Presages of the Millenium; - with - The Destruction of the Faithful as revealed to the R Brothers the Prophet & attested by MB Halhead Esq., orig. pub.

Pitt was politically dominant at this time and was opposed to a motion for peace with France brought forward by Wilberforce. Pitt is depicted as the skeletal figure of Death as he gallops on the white Hanoverian horse across a herd of pigs (Burke`s swinish multitude) and kicks the Opposition led by Fox, into the fires of hell. The little goblin like figure on the back of the horse is the Prince of Wales. A bold parody on the book of Revelation. (1)

Lot 300

* Gillray (James). Pen -Etration - This Title has no affinity to pen as connected with the Goose-Quill; - nor has it any allusion to Penguin, a stupid creature between a Fish & a Fowl:......, pub. H.Humphrey Aug. 6th 1799, etching on wove with original hand colouring, 260 x 190mm, framed, mounted and glazed. A biting caricature of John Penn. Penn was the hereditary Governer of the state of Pennsylvania but sold his inheritance on the outbreak of the American Revolution. Penn`s only other claim to fame was as the author of two volumes of rather weak poetry. The depiction of Penn as a knock-kneed chinless dandy who appears drunk, shows how devastating Gillray could be at instant and rapier like character assasination. (1)

Lot 305

* Gillray (James). A Decent Story, pub. H.Humphrey Nov. 9th 1795, etching on wove with original hand colouring, slight overall toning, mount stained, 250 x 350mm (10 x 13.75 inches), together with L`Avocat de la Republique, pub.
