THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANTS, OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, Managers NEW YORK CITY f" u :**"-* ' 1022, T7 1 / 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 Riviere, Tout, Zaehns- dorf, Sangorski & Sutcliffe, Larkins, and Root. A large number are in the Original Bindings; while a ,few are in Original Parts or Wrappers, as issued. Each 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 Editions 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 inci- 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 Cruikshank (son of Robert), and of George 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 Cruikshank." Of Equal Importance with the Cruikshank Collection is that section containing examples of the work of the celebrated caricaturist, — Thomas 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 fiuer examples of his work; while his original watercolor work and sketches are represented by four different subjects and a volume of collected sketches. The Napoleonic Caricatures in Color 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 Gillray, 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 guides being sketches of the distinguished characters made on small pieces of card which he always carried with him. Among other illustrators of note, will be found examples of the work of Henry Aiken, H. Bunbury, John Leech, William Heath, H. K. Browne — "Phiz," Bobert Seymour, and G. Woodward, including an Original Drawing by Aiken, 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.

Bon Ton Magazine. The Xew Bon Ton Magazine ; or, Telescope of the Times. Complete set, from the commencement, May, 1818 to its termination, April, 1821. 6 vols. 8vo, half calf, gilt. London: Published by J. Johnston, 1818-1821 One of the scarcest periodicals of its time, and a most unusual set, CONTAINING THE FULL NUMBER OF COLORED CARICATURES (32), many Of which are portraits of celebrities of the period. Very few known sets are actually complete with the full quota of 32 plates. The plate "The Boxing Baroness," generally missing, is present in the above set, in a fine example. George Cruikshank is believed to have executed some of the unsigned plates, as he illustrated for the same publisher the rare "Town Talk" and "The Scourge," earlier periodicals of like class. A few of the plates are signed "Marks," an artist who executed some of the plates for "Real Life in London." The editor of the "New Bon Ton Magazine" was the notorious Captain John Mitford, author of "Johnny Newcome in the Navy" and of several libellous publications that brought him into the clutches of the law. Nearly all the articles are written under assumed names, and include information of a "racy" nature connected with "Life in London" at the period. As a change from attacking "Wicked Earls" the editor has included a few articles on America, one referring to "A New Jeru- salem in America," a colonization scheme of Mordecai Noah ; & another article assumes that all American banks are founded on fraud and robbery. An interesting feature is a "continuation" of Byron's "Don Juan," which runs through the two final volumes, and the first publication of an attempt to conclude it. 21.

[London:] Published by William Hone [1818] Rare original issue of the note, without the envelope. Douglas, No. 1842; Reid, No. 965. Between the inscription and the line of publication is an ornament of fetters. Vignette, representing Britannia devouring her naked chil- dren, in a frame, which is composed of wretches hanging, and sur- mounted by a death's head. "Bank Restriction," is inscribed over a gibbet in the form of the blade of the guillotine, with eleven men and women hanging in a row to its handle. About 1817 or 1818, the one-pound notes of the Bank of England were put in circulation. They were frequently forged, and the penalty for "passing" one was Death. On witnessing the hanging of several men and women, for passing these notes, Cruikshank went home, and in ten minutes designed the above "Note," the drawing of which, being exhibited in one of the Print Shops, attracted a large crowd which had to be dispersed by the police. Soon after, the Bank Directors held a meeting upon the subject, and decided to have no more one-pound notes issued. Eventually, Sir Robert Peel had passed in Parliament, a bill by which there was to be no more minor offences punishable by death, and so by this little drawing, Cruikshank claims to have saved many lives. 127.

[London] 1808 One of the rarest and most interesting op Cruikshank's cari- catures, AS WELL AS ONE OF HIS EARLIEST ATTEMPTS ON A LARGE SCALE, HAVING BEEN EXECUTED BY HIM WHEN HE WAS BUT SIXTEEN YEARS OLD. The signature on the plate is the only instance of his calling him- self "George Cruikshank, Junr," which, of course, since there was no George Cruikshank, Sr., is not really correct. In later years, when the son of the great artist's nephew (whose name was George), signed his work, "George Cruikshank, Jr.," the originator of such plates as the above very indignantly refuted his work, and insisted that his method of signature be changed. This remarkable caricature contains several figures, forming a curious procession of a retreating army, led by a coach in which the face of Joseph Bonaparte is seen at the window.

This work was originally published in parts, the plate having been prepared before the printed text. Concerning the combined work of [Continued Fifth Session, Thursday Evening, February 6th [No. 1012— Continued] 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. 1013.

For the promise of her influence, she received various sums of money Fifth Session, Thursday Evening, February 6th [No. lVL4r— Continued] especially from officers in the army, and the matter came to the public knowledge at last." — Dictionary of National Biography.

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."

They were not intended for publication, but being found to interest many persons of taste . . . the present form of publication has been adopted."

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 1S13. 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 fiest published state op 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 Fare, Row- landson published his earlier work, privately, in 1815, under the title of Hug-Mug-Gin. A copy of this plate accompanies the drawing ; it is extremely scarce, being unknown to Grego. 1048. Eowlandson (Thomas).

In the present plate, Rowlandson burlesques the rustic cavalry of farmers and helpers, mounted on cart horses and armed with blunderbusses, flails, pitchforks, etc., who are horrifying their officer by executing an impromptu charge upon a peaceful farmyard, knocking down old ladies and scattering the poultry, etc. 1067.

FlKST STATE OF THIS RAKE AQUATINT. "This large plate, which is designed with due appreciation of grim humor and tipsy jocularity, introduces the traditional relaxations of the funeral furnishers, whose jollifications are supposed to offer the most' ghastly contrast to their sober professional duties . . . The members of the fraternity are applying themselves with hearty goodwill to the fluids, far on the road to becoming 'glorious,' while some of the party have already reached their congenial stage of 'half seas over.' . . . Groups of gentlemen are seated at tables . . . The results of too indis- criminate indulgence are noticeable in the dangerous situation of those coaches which are attempting to 'homeward wend their melancholy way,' and are being overturned in their process by their tipsy drivers." — Grego, in Rowlandson the Caricaturist. 1071.

Enclosed in cloth folder, lettered on front. Original impression. Reproduce in Grego. Vol. II. page 66. "The complex nature of the famous broadbottom Administration, known as 'All the Talents,' is set forth in an allegorical representation, which is supposed to include the several qualifications of the vaunted illumings. It may be remembered that this Ministry, which came into power under Liberal and popular auspices, retired on the rejection of their favourite measure Catholic Emancipation, which they were pledged to introduce. The King, and his friends, the remnant of the Pittites, made a desperate stand against this measure, and the consequence of its defeat was the immediate withdrawal of 'All the talents,' from office. As embodied by [Continued Fifth Session, Thursday Evening, February 6th [So. 1072 — Continued] Rowlandson's pencil, the combination of heterogeneous elements produced a curious monster : the wig of a learned judge is worn on the head of a spectacled ape, with an episcopal mitre and a Catholic crozier ; a lawyer's bands, a laced coat, and ragged breeches ; wearing one shoe, and a French jackboot ; and dancing upon a funeral pj're of papers, the results of the Administration, its endless negotiations with France, and its sinecures and patronages, which are blazing away. The creature's right foot is discharging a musket, to represent the 'Army' which is producing certain mischief in the rear, and bringing two heavy folios, 'Magna Charta' and the 'Coronation Oath' upon the head of the dangerous animal. . . . The smoke from the pipe of this lusus Naturae, is obscuring the portrait of William Pitt. The end of 'All the Talents' who sacrificed their influence from conscientious motives, and whose upright principles were beyond suspicion was a great source of triumph to their opponents, who signalised their retirement with a volley of satirical effusions." — Geego in Rowland- son the Caricaturist. 1073.

Although the plates are unsigned, they are considered by experts to be by C.

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).

Fine specimen of a Woodward original drawing. The drawing in addition to being signed by the artist is dated, -Jany. 1800" (in pencil). This date, which is thought to be in the autograph of the artist, indicates that the drawing was executed nine years before the print, which is dated Jany. 27th, 1809.

Large and fine copy, almost uncut. A number of the plates are dated 1797. The plates are rich in impression, many broadly satirize the life and times of the English and Welsh inhabitants of the time, both in town and country. They all were engraved by Isaac Crulk- shank, the father of George. Woodward, an associate of Rowlandson and Isaac Cruikshank, was a popular and prolific designer of caricatures much in the manner of Bunbury, but with a fecundity of humor not possessed by that artist. Some of Woodward's contemporaries looked upon him as almost another Hogarth, which, however, he never could have become for several reasons, among them being his lack of knowledge of drawing and the interference of low companions with their concomitants of whiskey, &c. 1123.
