* Bowles & Carver (publishers). A Flat Between Two Sharps, Law is like a new fashion, folks are bewitched to get into it - It is also like bad weather, most people are very glad when they get out, n.d. c.1790, mezzotint ‘droll’ with original hand colouring in watercolour and gouache, trimmed to image on three margins, several repaired tears and folds, 350 x 250mm, mounted, framed and glazed, together with, ’The Triple Plea, Law, Physic and Divinity’, n.d. c.1790, mezzotint ‘droll’ with original hand colouring in watercolour and gouache, four stanzas of comic verse below image, trimmed to image on three margins, upper left corner torn and replaced in facsimile, 350 x 250mm, mounted, framed and glazed. The first print shows Westminster Hall. Standing in front of the building is a simple countryman scratching his head as he is seemingly bambozzled by the silver tongues of a solicitor and a barrister. The second image depicts a Doctor, a Cleric and a Lawyer debating which is the most important profession. The underlying message being that a man would be wise not to trust any of them. (2)

Carington Bowles (publisher). The Appointment Overheard and Prevented, pub. 12th May 1772, ‘droll’ mezzotint with orig. hand col., 350 x 250mm, framed and glazed. A satirical print of a foppish ‘Macaroni’ or dandy, dressed in a fancy waistcoat and ridiculous wig, arranging an assignation with a rather vacant if fashionable young lady who wears a matching highly ornate wig and bonnet. A French poodle yaps at the Macaroni’s feet and a servant can be seen listening to the conversation. The Macaroni affected and copied the highly ornate and often effeminate style of dress which was fashionable in France and Italy at the time. Naturally they provided easy satirical subjects for the caricaturists and cartoonists of the day. (1)

* Hunt (Charles after Shayer, W.J.). The Trial of “Bill Burn” under Martin’s Act, pub. P. Mathews, Stourbridge, and Ackermann & Co. London, c.1840, fine aquatint with bright original hand colouring, 490 x 585mm, good near contemp. stained maple frame. The image depicts the inside of a provincial courtroom where an vegetable salesman is being prosecuted under the new Animal rights legislation that had been sponsored by Richard Martin M.P. The law concentrated on farm rather than domestic animals and was designed to protect them from abuse by their owners. It was notoriously difficult to secure a conviction under the act as magistrates were very reluctant to find in favour of an animal! The act had been passed in 1822 and Martin went on to help found the R.S.P.C.A. The print shows the drover thumbing his nose at the donkey whilst his panniers of vegtables lie in the corner of the courtroom. The donkey is flecked with blood and has clearly been beaten but the magistrate, the court officials and the public gallery obviously find the whole scene ridiculous. The artist quite plainly had little sympathy for the bill because of the mocking name he has given the accused. (1)
