The unfortunate Lord Kirkcudbright was born a hunchback and had succeeded to his baronetcy only two weeks earlier on the death of his father.

Humphrey, 1807, etching with aquatint with contemporary hand-colouring, good margins, slight dust and finger soiling to the borders, 245 x 350 mm, together with a smaller hand-coloured example, published in 'London und Paris, old folds, laid on later brown paper, 240 x 335 mmQTY: (2)NOTE:BM Satires 7371. Grenville had fallen foul of the king and had fallen from office. This is in effect, Gillray's epitaph. A lumbering overloaded boat steers towards Hades where Charles Fox - who had died the previous year - waits to greet it. The huge bottoms of the Grenvillites threaten to capsize the vessel, Sheridan is being sick and the sail carries the motto of Catholic Emancipation, whilst the mast is topped by the feathers of the Prince of Wales. One of Gillray's last great political satires.

Lot 229

A satire on the approaching election for the Chancellorship of Oxford University. Grenville, dressed as a cardinal, heads a small group processing towards the Devil.

In March 1803 the King instructed parliament that Great Britain must prepare for war, two months later (on the 15th of May) the King declared war in the usual British manner by legalising the capture of enemy ships.

Addington stands astride a dish bearing 'The Roast Beef of old England'

Lot 237

Lot 249

* Starcke (C. after James Gillray). Scientific Researches! - New Discoveries in Pneumaticks! - or - an Experimental lecture on the powers of Air [1802], hand-coloured etching published in 'London und Paris', old folds, lower left corner trimmed, but not affecting the printed image, 260 x 350 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:An acidic comment on a public lecture at the Royal Institution. The audience includes recognisable politicians, diplomats and intellectual women (‘bluestockings’). They look amused or disgusted as Sir J. C. Hippisley is given nitrous oxide gas by the physician Thomas Garnett and his assistant Humphry Davy. A diary entry by Lady Elizabeth Holland relates an event very similar to what Gillray portrays. Gillray makes the most of a fart joke to reference the ‘hot air’ that contemporaries criticised in both gas research and radical politics. This print is one of several public attacks that led to nitrous oxide research being abandoned because of its proponents’ supposedly dangerous political views. Eight days after the publication of the original etching, Joseph Banks would propose Davy be promoted to Professor of Chemistry. Davy, however, failed to grasp the significance of the gas as an anaesthetic, treating it instead as a curio and conversation piece.

Lot 176

The new Prime Minister, Henry Addington address the House of Commons on the subject of a peace treaty. Gillray has noticeably left Addington uncaricatured, whereas Hawkesbury, sitting behind him with his finger to his mouth is the epitome of ministerial uncertainty and incompetence and the caricature of Wilberforce (holding a stick) is particularly brutal.

Lot 231

* Gillray (James). The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver, H. Humphrey, June 26th 1803, etching with aquatint on wove, bright contemporary hand colouring, one repaired closed tear, 315 x 255 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:BM Satires 10019. George III holds a spyglass to his eye to examine a Lilliputian Napoleon whom he holds in the palm of his hand. The King pronounces that '...you be one of the most pernicious little odious reptiles ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth'. A fine example of Georgian jingoism and anti-French propaganda.

Addington kneels on one knee holding out a dark lantern and a hat with a tricolour cockade filled with papers inscribed 'Sinecure', 'Place', 'Annuity', 'Pension' & 'Post'. Hawkesbury, standing behind him, holds out a net to capture the greedy Harpie-like politicians, enticed towards the light.

Lot 209

Beyond the fog, however, the French fleet is visible, led by Napoleon

Humphrey, May 20th 1804, etching with contemporary hand-colouring, trimmed to the neat line, 255 x 375 mm, together with a smaller uncoloured edition published in 'London und Paris', old folds, 170 x 220 mmQTY: (2)NOTE:BM satires 10244. A satire on the change of government and the exclusion of Fox from Pitt's Ministry. It implies that because of Addington's incompetence and passivity, the country is ill-prepared and isolated before the threat of invasion. Britannia sits, propped up in bed by pillows, her shield (together with an olive branch) beside her. Pitt, the new doctor, kicks Addington through the door with one foot, whilst the other one stamps on the face of Fox, who lies on the ground, kicking wildly. Death lurks behind the bed curtains, depicted as a skeleton with the head of Napolean, wielding a spear which is aimed at Britannia's heart.
