RESUME OF THE ILLUSTRATED BOOKS AND
CARICATURES FROM THE LIBRARY OF
J. BARTON TOWNSEND, ESQ.
The Illustrated Books, Caricatures and Etchings by the Great English
Book Illustrators and Caricaturists of the Nineteenth Century gathered by Mr.
Townsend, and herein catalogued, comprise one of the most extensive and im-
portant collections of its kind ever offered at public sale in America. Many of
the volumes are in full morocco or calf bindings by Rivirre, Tout, ZAEHNS-
porF, SANGorskI & SurciirFe, Larkins, and Roor. A large number are in
the Original Bindings; while a few are in Original Parts or Wrappers, As
IssuED. Hach volume contains the bookplate of the owner.
The Works of the THREE CRUIKSHANKS,—IsAAc, GEORGE AND ROBERT,
comprise the greater part of this collection. They include Notable First Edi-
tions, Original Drawings, Aquatint Engravings in Color, and Colored Cari-
catures of all three artists. Many of these items are of great rarity; a number
of them being of unusual interest, owing to the Autograph Inscriptions of
the celebrated George, which appears on several of the plates etched by him-
self or his brother Robert. Among the books illustrated by these artists, are
several of the RARER First Eprrrons of the Works of Charles Dickens, William
Harrison Ainsworth, Pierce Egan, William Combe, and Robert Westmacott;
while in the field of Caricatures the collection is especially rich in examples
of their work. These satirical and humorous sketches illustrate various incl-
dents during the Napoleonic Wars, the Political and Social Life of England
during the reign of George the Fourth, the liaison of Maria Foote and her
friends, the troubles of Queen Caroline and her Royal Consort; also Sport-
ing, Dramatic and Domestic Events; Rare Broadsides and Song-Heads. Isaac
Cruikshank and his son Robert are also, each represented by an Original
Drawing; while by the celebrated George there are six drawings of unusual
interest.
Besides the three Cruikshanks noted above, there are a few examples of
the work of Percy CrurksHaNnk (son of Robert), and of .GrorcE CRUIK-
SHANK, Jr. (son of Percy). The latter at first signed his plates,—George
Cruikshank, Jr.:’ but in order to do away with the confusion created by this,
he changed the same at the request of the great George, assumed his mother’s
family name, and signed himself,—‘“George Calvert Crutkshank.”
Of Equal Importance with the Cruikshank Collection is that section
containing examples of the work of the celebrated caricaturist,—T HOMAS
RowLANDson, whose compositions as represented herein comprise the most
extensive and important series of books and caricatures by his hand, ever
offered at public sale in America. This section comprises 195 different items,
or groups of subjects, commencing with the first book illustrated by him,
and including a large proportion of the more noteworthy and finer examples
of his work; while his original watercolor work and sketches are represented
by four different subjects and a volume of collected sketches.
Tur NAPOLEONIC CARICATURES IN Conor comprise over 100 different
subjects illustrative of the Wars of Napoleon, and satirizing the great Emperor
and the French people, from the year 1799 to the downfall of Napoleon in
1814.
The great Caricaturist of the latter Eighteenth and early Nineteenth
Century,—JamEs GiLiRAY, is represented by several collections of his satirical
and humorous prints illustrative of the time of George the Third. In this
art he had no rival; the exquisite tact with (which he seized upon points,
both in politics and manners, most open to ridicule, is only equalled by the
consummate skill and wit with which he satirized them. Most of his work was
etched at once upon the original copper without a previous drawing, his only
cuides being sketches of the distinguished characters made on small pieces of
card which he always carried with him.
Among other ILLUSTRATORS OF NoTs, will be found examples of the work
of Henry Alken, H. Bunbury, John Leech, William Heath, H. K. Browne—
“Phiz,” Robert Seymour, and G. Woodward, including an Original Drawing by
Alken, and one by Woodward. .
To the end, that interest might be added to the catalogue, where
possible, references have been cited as to the best Bibliographical Works on
the subject, and in describing the Caricatures the names have been given of
the more important political and social personages.

A MOST INTERESTING COPY FROM THE COLLECTION OF CRUIKSHANK’S OLD
FRIEND AND FAMILY bDocTOR, PETTIGREW, with the following additional
features,—
No. I. Laid in is a sheet from the advertisements to “Ainsworth’s
Magazine,” on which is a woodcut by George Cruikshank, adver-
tising “The Omnibus.” This woodcut appears on the cloth
covers of the bound edition. The gentleman assisting the stout
woman is a portrait of G. Cruikshank, while the driver is a
portrait of Laman Blanchard, the Editor of “The Omnibus.”
No. II. The wrapper of this part, has the illustration partly col-
ored, evidently an experiment on the part of George Cruikshank
to see how the colored cover would go.
No. III. THIs IS A UNIQUE copy, being a presentation copy to Mr.
Upcott, the famous bibliographer and autograph collector, with
an AUTOGRAPH INSCRIPTION on the wrapper, by George Cruik-
shank, a fine and bold inscription, reading,—
“U. Upcott Esq. with the regards of Geo. Cruikshank.”
In a letter from G. Cruikshank, to Charles Dickens, regard-
ing this work, Cruikshank writes as follows,—
“T have introduced the ‘Postboy’ to the ‘Conductor, of the
‘Omnibus’ & hope he may get a Sitivation, for I think you know
that I am, like yourself, always ready to lend a helping hand
to those who want it.”

The last leaf contains an advertisement relative to the publication
of the first number of a “New Work” to be published “on the first of
January, 1854;” also a notice by the artist relative to this “Penny Edition
of the House that Jack Built, principally intended for the use and in-
struction of grown-up babies.” Cruikshank also announces the “First

A HIGHLY IMPORTANT CRUIKSHANK ITEM, the drawing is aN ORIGINAL
WATER-COLOR, 514 by 8 inches, not signed, and depicts Mr. Mathews in the
character of the coachman, similar to that used on the “Song-Head.” |
The view is one of a room, opening into the street, apparently a dis-
tillery; the coachman has entered, and is holding a glass of liquor in
his right hand, before him stands a portly dame, with bottle in hand ;
in the background, the distillery. EXCEEDING SCARCE AND UNIQUE, UN-
PUBLISHED.

Ranpom, or TANDEM. Written by J. Pocock, Esq., composed by Mr. C.
Smith; and sung . . . by Mr. Mathews. Unsigned. With publisher’s
line,—Published 4th April, 1810, by Laurie & Whittle, No. 53, Fleet Street,
London. Beneath are three columns of verse. This view is one of a
broad country road, with a carriage drawn by three horses in tandem
fashion and standing near a turn-pike. Mathews, in the character of
a coachman is in the foreground. This plate gives an excellent idea of
the costume and slang of fast men at the beginning of the 19th century.
The above copy has two small tears at upper corners.
Accompanying the above is an uncolored copy of the plate. See,

This caricature has obvious reference to Hughes Ball, known at Eton
by his surname of Hughes only, but who took the further name of “Ball”
on coming into a fortune of forty thousand a year, left him by his
uncle. He was considered a great catch, but notwithstanding his money,
was unfortunate in love, being jilted by Lady Paget, rejected by Miss
Floyd (afterward the wife of Sir Robert Peel), and then by Lady Caro-
line Churchill. In this caricature, the above mentioned ladies, including
Miss Foote, are kicking a yellow ball.

gagement, the old gentleman is seated by the table. The second view
illustrates, in Miss Foote’s drawing room, the scene at the theatre, when
Colonel Berkeley introduced Miss Foote to Hayne; in the centre by a
crib sits Miss Foote, on either side is a theatre box, one with Colonel
Berkeley as the occupant, the other with Hayne and a bag lettered

A most interesting sketch, showing several elfish demons and other
figures floating through the heavens,
The signature to this drawing is one which was very distasteful to
the elder George Cruikshank, the artist changing the same in later
sketches at the request of the great George.
-The following excerpt relative to the artist is taken from a letter
written by the elder George Cruikshank, to Captain Reid, the Bibliog-
rapher, and which is now in the Cruikshank Collection at Princeton
University,— .
“T may just add that my brother ‘I. R. OC.’ left a son, whose
name is ‘Percy,—who is a draughtsman and wood engraver,—& who
has @ son whose name is George, é who is also an artist. And as
the two Georges creates some confusion, he intends I believe in
future, to add his mother’s family name, & sign himself “George
Calvert Cruikshank.”

of his nephew Percy. The letter is signed in full “George Oruikshank,”
is dated “December 27, 1872,” written to the Editor of “The Queen,” and
reads in part,—
“4g it ig stated in the Advertisements of the present number of

FrRoM THE CHARLES COOPER TOWNSEND COLLECTION.
ORIGINAL EDITION, AS ISSUED. OF GREAT RARITY, ONE OF ONLY A FEW
COPIES EXTANT IN PARTS AS ABOVE. PERHAPS THE MOST PERFECT COPY TO
APPEAR FOR PUBLIC SALE IN AMERICA. The Prospectus on reverse of back
wrapper reads in part,—‘This work will contain all the best designs of
this celebrated caricaturist, and will be published in monthly parts, each
part to containe Nine Coloured plates.” On the reverse of the back wrap-
per of Part IX, the statement is made that—“Part X. will be published
on the First of January.” It is doubtful whether many plates were is-
sued after the above mentioned nine parts, although two copies have
appeared in the London auction mart with ninety plates, which would
seem to indicate that.another number (Part X) must have been issued.
A work of great interest, containing some of the best caricatures of
this celebrated artist, based upon the exploits of the Royal Family of
Great Britain, the nobility, the Ministry and all sorts and conditions
of men, including many fine caricatures of George III. and Napoleon,
among them being,—The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver (both plates) ;
Tiddy-Doll the Great French Gingerbread Baker; Buonaparte Leaving
Hgypt; The Valley of the Shadow of Death, The Spanish Bullfight (and
other Napoleonic plates) ; Connoisseurs examining a Collection of George
Morlands, and many others, all of which are freely ridiculed by this
daring censor.
This issue is much more valuable to the student of the social and :
political history of England of the period, than the atlas folio edition,
as the letter-press explaining the plates accompanies the item here cata-
logued.

ORIGINAL IMPRESSION, CoLorED. Wright, and Evans,’ No. 303.
Htched by James Gillray. Wright says that, “the conception of this
plate is remarkably happy. The subject is the Impeachment of Lord
Melville for making use of the Public Money for his own private ac-
commodation, while he held the office of Treasurer of the Navy.”
Lord Melville in the shape of a lion is lying on the ground, wounded
by the discharge from a piece of ordinance fired by Lord St. Vincent,
concealed behind a tree; Grey represented as a serpent, Fox in the char-
acter of his four-footed name-sake, Kinnaird as a wolf-dog, Lord Sid-
mouth depicted as an ass, his brother-in-law Bragge and _ his brother
Addington, also represented as asses; Britannia is sitting under a tree.

Fox, as the Diable Boiteux, is soaring through the air: his head is
Surrounded by the Prince of Wales’s feathers, he is carrying Lord Sid-
mouth under his left wing and Lord Grenville under his right wing.
He is calling to John Bull, who is holding to his cloak, “Come along,
Johnny, take fast hold of my cloak.”
Fox’s coalition with Lord Grenville led to the Broad-Bottom Admini-
|
stration, which was completed February 3, 1806.

ORIGINAL IMPRESSION, COLORED. Wright and Evans, No. 310.
Gillray represents the new Ministers (Whigs) as having been so long
out of office, that they were unprepared for appearance at Court. The
parties caricatured are,—Fox, who is shaving before a glass; Grey,
cleaning his teeth; Lord Sidmouth, whose countenance is partially ob-
scured by a snuff-box; Lord Moria, nearly dressed in his regimentals:
others are,—Lord Grenville, Lord Erskine, Lord Henry Petty, and the
Duke of Bedford.
Wright says that “the conception of this print is remarkably clever
but the idea is carried out with so much playfulness and good
humor that the parties caricatured must have themselves joined heartily
in the laugh.”

A satire on the numerous new mouths which, by the accession of the
Whigs to power, were to be added to those which already pulled so
greedily at John Bull’s purse. John appears in the background, in great
alarm at the eagerness of his numerous brood.

A satire on the Broad-Bottoms, whose ship is wafted forward by the
favor of the Prince of Wales, while they are obliged to throw out an
empty cask, supposed to represent the promises of the Whigs, in order
to amuse the great leviathan of public opinion. The broom at the mast-
head indicates that the boat is to be disposed of.

ve } Fox is represented as a bear, muzzled and chained, led by his master,
Lord Grenville, the latter has cudgel marked, “Cudgel for disobedient
Bears... He calls out, “Don’t be afraid of my Bear. . . I have tamed
and muzzled him.” Lord Sidmouth enacts the part of a blind old fiddler ;
Lord Petty, as a monkey, holds the bear’s tail.
“The insinuation intended to be conveyed by Gillray in this print
is that Fox having owed his introduction to office to Lord Grenville...
was thereby reduced to subordination to that Nobleman.”—WRIGHT AND
EVANS.

riNeb John Leech, signed in the lower left corner, with Leech’s “mark,”

morously imprinted, “The design has (most respectfully of course)
been submitted to Government by an aspiring artist, Mul-led-at-
ready.” (1850). Both items preserved in a cloth folder, lettered on
the side.
The skit on the Mulready Envelope by John Leech was one of the
most important factors that brought Leech before the public as a
humorous draughtsman.
“Mr. Frith tells of Mulready’s indignation at Leech’s drawing—not
at the caricature itself, but at the leech in the bottle, by which the
Academician took it for granted that the draughtsman meant to desig-
nate him by inuendo as a “pHlood-sucker” and of Leech’s surprise and
pain at being so suspected, and how the two men became fast friends
ever after.”—SPIELMANN, “The History of Punch.”

Rowlandson and Pugin, the Introduction says,—“The architectural part
of the subjects that are contained in this work, will be delineated with
the utmost precision and care, by Mr. Pugin, whose uncommon accuracy
and delicate taste have been displayed in his former productions. With
respect to the figures, they are from the pencil of Mr. Rowlandson,
with whose professional talents the public are already so weel acquainted.
The Book is a perfect treasure-house of scenes, described with pen and
brush, from the London of a century ago.
The work of Rowlandson is different from most of his illustrations
in other works, lacking the coarseness and grotesque quality that is gen-
erally characteristic of his work.

This celebrated case was before the House of Commons from Feb.
1st, to March 20th, 1809.
The Duke of York was at this time Commander-in-chief and was very
much under the influence of Mrs. Mary Ann Clarke.
“The Duke was at that time commander-in-chief, and had enormous
patronage at his disposal, and as he was known to be an easy-going man,
it was believed that he would do anything that Mary Ann Clarke wished.
For the promise of her influence, she received various sums of money

The argument upon which the story of this poem is set forth appears
in the Preface of the work, as follows,—
“Dublin Castle.”
“The Adventures of the Under Petticoat at the
Castle Drawing Room.”
“All the fashionable world has been amused with the singular disaster
that befel a lady on Thursday night last, at the Viceregal Palace, by the
loss of her Under-Petticoat, which from the pressure of the crowd, un-
fortunately slipt down through the capacious encumberance of her hoop,
and was soon trampled on the floor . . . One of the young pages. . .
first made the discovery. The trophy was soon displayed in order to
find out the fair owner, which however still remains a secret.”
The garment being claimed by several parties, “the Duke, with his
usual good humour . . . decided the contest by saying . . . that he
would solicit the Prince Regent, in the true spirit of chivalry, to estab-
lish and become Sovereign of the Order of the Petticoat of Ireland.”

during a visit to Scarborough in the Season of 1812. They were not
intended for publication, but being found to interest many persons of
taste . . . the present form of publication has been adopted.”

UNIQUE ITEM. The first of the above drawings was executed by Row-
landson in the early part of his career and was published, with slight
additions in 1813. ‘The picture hanging on the wall of the room which
Rowlandson pictures suggests the title of the plate. The inscription
on this drawing, as quoted above is cut into, but is still discernible.
Mounted opposite this drawing is the FIRST PUBLISHED STATE OF THE SAME,
1813, which is reproduced in Grego, Vol. II., page 253.
The second drawing (Item No. 3 of the above) is very similar in
character, but not as well executed as the first. The centre figures
are the same as those in the first drawing, but the outer details are
somewhat changed. It would appear from the date on this drawing
that the same is an earlier conception of the first drawing, and that,
seeing the success and popularity of the plate BATHELOR’s Farge, Row-
landson published his earlier work, ‘privately, in 1815, under the title of
HvucGc-MvuG-GIn.
A copy of this plate accompanies the drawing; it is EXTREMELY SCARCE,
being unknown to Grego.

LARGE AND FINE COPY OF THIS RARE AND CURIOUS WORK.
Although the plates are unsigned, they are considered by experts to
be by C. Williams who did a number of books of this character at this
period, and who illustrated another of Alfred Thornton’s Books, “The
Adventures of a Post Captain.” :
This entertaining work is a curious specimen of book-making. It was
published in parts, and as far as the middle of Volume I. was founded
upon a very free paraphrase of Byron’s Poem, of which but five cantos
had then appeared. About this time, “Life in London” leaped into
popularity. Its success was so phenomenal that it was sufficient for
the Author of “Don Juan,” and straightway, “Don Juan’ was pressed
into rivalry with “Tom and Jerry.”
1115. Water Cure (THE). A series of 12 subjects (all of which are colored
eae by hand at a later date) depicting in a highly humorous manner
29 — scenes connected with “The Water Cure.” Oblong 12mo, original
* cloth, binding rubbed. London [1869-1870]

QO. EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED by the insertion of a number of double-page con-

This entertaing novel was written by an English officer who served
under Wellington in the Peninsula War, and was the author of other
romances, including the popular “Arthur Beverly.”
