DANIEL LAMBERT AND NAPOLEON A large creamware jug, c.1809, printed in black with Napoleon standing beside a corpulent figure, titled 'Bone and Flesh or John Bull in Moderate Condition', the reverse with Britannia standing on the seashore, good restoration to the rim, 23cm. Born in 1770, Daniel Lambert had by 1806 become a curiosity on account of his weight and size. He died in 1809, at which time he was five feet eleven inches in height and weighing just short of 53 stone. A satire of the same name was published by Walker on 15th April 1806. Cf. David Drakard, Printed English Pottery, pl. 607 where the author concludes this image of Britannia probably dates from 1809 (see lot 258).

1866 POACHER WILLIAM COLLIER'S MURDER OF GAMEKEEPER THOMAS SMITH A large Staffordshire stone china jug, c.1866, moulded in relief and painted in bright enamels with a scene of Collier with his wife and a child at a cottage door, the reverse with the violent struggle between Collier and Smith, inscribed around the foot 'Presented to James Morrey, By A Friend', the handle moulded with a hare, restoration to the rim and top of handle, 25.7cm. The incident that led to the last, and somewhat botched, public hanging in Stafford on the 7th August 1866 was one of poaching and murder. To support his wife and seven children, William Collier of Kingsley in the Staffordshire moorlands was, by repute, a poacher. An encounter with the gamekeeper, Thomas Smith, at nearby Whiston Eaves, resulted in a fierce struggle and Smith being bludgeoned to death. Collier was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. George Smith, a Black Country hangman with a reputation for blundering, undertook the execution. Using old rope, his first attempt failed and, with the assembled crowd's anger mounting, his second attempt was successful. James Morrey is listed on the Staffordshire census returns between 1841 and 1881 as a potter living in Hanley.
