English School (early 19th century), broadside, The Pig-Faced Lady of Manchester Square, Drawn and Published By Her Late Attendant, While At Dinner, Sold at 98, Cheapside; 50, Piccadilly; and at all Book [and Printesellers], [London c.1815], hand-coloured etching with satirical verse, 32.5cm x 27cm, framed, Chapman Bros. Ltd. of Kings Road, Chelsea, label to verso The legendary stories of pig-faced women originated almost simultaneously in Holland, England and France in the late 1630s. Word was spoken of a wealthy woman whose body was of normal human appearance, however her face was that of a pig. In the story's earliest forms, the woman's appearance was the result of witchcraft. There was a resurgence in late 1814/early 1815, when it was claimed that a pig-faced woman was living in Marylebone of all places. Her existence was widely reported as fact - an 'alternative fact' of the day, and numerous alleged portraits of her published such as this lot. N.B.

*Fores (S.W. publishers). No Guinea Pigs. The Town before you or Welch Wigs or Whimsicallities or how to save the Tax on Hair Powder, 1795, etching with contemporary hand colouring possiby after George Moutard Woodward, 415 x 520 mm, mounted, framed and glazed A large caricature showing twelve men and women, all with their heads conspicuously covered thereby avoiding the new tax on wig powder introduced by William Pitt the Younger. The taxes, which were many and varied, including the 'new' income tax, were introduced to help pay for the Napoleonic wars. Understandably they were very unpopular and an easy target for satirists and caricaturists. The bureaucracy involved in collecting the tax was cumbersome. Individuals who used hair powder were required to purchase a certificate from their local Justice of the Peace for which they were charged one guinea (hence the first title, 'No Guines Pigs'). The list of those that had paid was lodged at the local Quarter Session court and a copy of the list affixed to the door of the parish church by the parish constable. It was common practice to fine those who did not pay this tax. Contrary to popular belief women did not wear wigs, but simply had the equivalent of todays hair extensions added to their existing hair. Women mainly powdered their hair grey, or blue-ish grey. It was never bright white like men. Wig powder itself was made from finely ground starch to which was added lavender, jasmine, roses and scented with orange flower and was occasionally colored violet, blue, pink or yellow, but was most often used as off-white. The act was eventually repealed in 1869 as by that time less than 1,000 people were wearing wigs. (1)
