* Gillray (James). Enter Cowslip with a Bowl of Cream, pub. H.Humphrey, June 13th. 1795, etching on wove with original hand colouring, some overall toning and spotting, 335 x 225mm (13.25 x 9 inches), framed, mounted and glazed, together with So Skiffy Skipt on with his wonted grace, pub. H.Humphrey, Feb. 1st, 1800,etching on wove with original hand colouring, toned overall and trimmed to printed margins, 245 x 165mm (9.5 x 6.5 inches), framed, mounted and glazed, with untitled caricature of the Prince of Wales, pub. H.Humphrey March 10th, 1802,etching on wove with original hand colouring, thread margins, 260 x 205mm (10.25 x 8 inches), framed, mounted and glazed. Although the caricature of the Prince Regent is untitled and a `rear view`; the order of the garter and the broad hips make it impossible to mistake the identity of the subject. This seemingly simple caricature is still edged with sartorial malice as Gillray shows the prince`s shirt sticking out from his tail coat and his collar liberally dusted with powder from his wig. (3)

* 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.

* Gillray (James). La Belle Assemblee, pub. H.Humphrey May 12th 1787, etching on wove with bright original hand colouring, closed tear in upper margin just affecting image, , slight rust marking, signs of earlier adhesion on verso 250 x 350mm (10 x 13.75 inches) This caricature shows five of the principal ladies of society in an absurd parody of Josha Reynolds` `Lady Sarah Sacrificing the the Graces`. Mrs Hobart pours incense onto the flames of the alter of love. Lady Cecilia Johnston is plucking a lyre, Lady Archer leads a lamb, with Miss Jefferies holding a basket of flowers whilst the geriatric Lady Mount-Edgecumb brings up the rear, holding a pair of doves. Gillray had a particular loathing for the elderly, vain and obese ladies of society and fashion and this caricature savagely attacks the ugly posturing, ridiculous frocks and the heavy maquillage of this horrendous quintet. The title probably refers to a mid-eighteenth century institution known as `La Belle Assemblee` where people paid to hear ladies debate on various topics. (1)

* Newton (Richard). The False Alarm, pub. W.Holland, May 20th 1792, etching on wove with original hand colouring, trimmed to neat line and laid on later card, 280 x 380mm (11 x 15 inches) Newton produced his first caricature at the age of thirteen. His prolific output was cut short by a very premature death of `jail- fever` at the age of twenty-one. His cartoons are bawdy and very much of their time and although they all possess a delightfully naive quality, they are ruthless in hitting their target with exquisite viciousness. This example of George III and his wife Queen Charlotte inspecting the King`s breeches is typical of Newton`s ability to make even the most elevated of subjects look completely ridiculous. The joke stems from the fact that on the 9th May 1792 the House of Commons nearly caught fire after a pair of smouldering breeches were found in the ceiling of a closet. (1)
* Newton (Richard). The First Interview, or an - Envoy from Yarmony to Improve the Breed, pub. S.W.Fores, 1797, etching on wove with original hand colouring, trimmed to neat line, 240 x 325mm (9.5 x 12.75 inches) A caricature which reproduces the initial meeting between The Prince Regent and Caroline of Brunswick. The prince is portrayed as having an enormous belly which is carried on the back of a negro servant. A carpenter cuts an oval into a table to accommodate the prince`s stomach and ponders on how the prince will `reach` his new bride. Naive, but bawdy and vicious with an almost comic strip quality this caricature typifies Newton`s style. (1)

Cleary, n.d. c.1821, etching on wove with original hand colouring, occ. marginal closed tears, some marginal dust soiling and staining, 250 x 350mm (10 x 13.75 inches) This is a later re-working of Newton`s original 1796 image which was published by WIlliam Holland. Newton`s trade mark thick lips, beetle brows and google eyes are all present. But this image is the `reverse` of the original impression. It needs no explanation as a basic drinking cartoon with the text forming the lines of a drinking song. (1)

Holland, June 16th 1795, etching on laid with orig. hand colouring, one small hole to image, upper & lower margin strengthened on verso, slight soiling, 260 x 400mm (10.25 x 15.75 inches) A social caricature where Newton is satirising the Welsh and their obsession with `pedigree`.
