    A New Illustration of the Old Adage - Between Two Stools &c.

    London: Thos McLean, 1833. A nice copy of this political satire by Doyle. #261 in Doyle's series of political sketches. Sir John Cam Hobhouse had been forced to resign his posts as both MP for Westminster and Secretary of State for Ireland on a minor point of principle. He expected to be re-confirmed in the post but Colonel Evans (Sir de Lacy Evans), as represented in the sketch, stepped in, and snatched away the seat for Westminster; and the re-appointment to the office of Irish Secretary was postponed sine die.

    London: Thos McLean, 1833. A nice copy of this political satire by Doyle. #261 in Doyle's series of political sketches. Sir John Cam Hobhouse had been forced to resign his posts as both MP for Westminster and Secretary of State for Ireland on a minor point of principle. He expected to be re-confirmed in the post but Colonel Evans (Sir de Lacy Evans), as represented in the sketch, stepped in, and snatched away the seat for Westminster; and the re-appointment to the office of Irish Secretary was postponed sine die. Sir F. Burdett, though stretching out his arm as if to save him, sees that assistance is in vain ; and the phlegmatic Lord Althorp, behind, appears to be saying, " Never mind, let him go." Print is 29cm x 37.5cm. It is pasted onto a mustard backing sheet of 35cm x 50cm. Both are in good, clean condition, with just a touch of light foxing to the satire. Small embossed stamp of authenticity (by Thos. McClean) to the lower left. A very nice copy. John Doyle was born in Dublin and moved to London in 1822 where he initially worked as a portrait lithographer. In 1827 Doyle began publishing political prints anonymously. From 1829-1851 Doyle published his well-known Political Sketches series, signing his work with the initials "HB" to hide his identity. See McClean, Thos. An Illustrative Key to the Political Sketches of H.B. #CCLXI. British Museum ref: 1856,0510.397.

    . Un bel exemplaire de cette satire politique de Doyle. #Numéro 261 de la série de sketches politiques de Doyle. Sir John Cam Hobhouse avait été contraint de démissionner de ses postes de député de Westminster et de secrétaire d'État à l'Irlande pour une question de principe mineure. Il s'attendait à être reconduit dans ses fonctions, mais le colonel Evans (Sir de Lacy Evans), représenté dans l'esquisse, s'est interposé et a arraché le siège de Westminster ; la reconduction au poste de secrétaire d'État pour l'Irlande a été reportée sine die. Sir F. Burdett, bien qu'il tende le bras comme pour le sauver, voit que l'aide est vaine ; et le flegmatique Lord Althorp, derrière, semble dire : "Peu importe, laissons-le partir". L'estampe mesure 29 cm x 37,5 cm. Elle est collée sur un support moutarde de 35cm x 50cm. Les deux sont en bon état, propres, avec juste une légère rousseur sur la satire. Petit cachet d'authenticité gaufré (par Thos. McClean) en bas à gauche. Un très bel exemplaire. John Doyle est né à Dublin et s'est installé à Londres en 1822 où il a d'abord travaillé comme lithographe portraitiste. En 1827, Doyle a commencé à publier des gravures politiques de manière anonyme. De 1829 à 1851, Doyle publia sa célèbre série Political Sketches, signant ses œuvres des initiales "HB" pour cacher son identité.

  • An attractive original pastel work
    A Nude Study in Pastel by SCHEPP, E.
    SCHEPP, E.
    A Nude Study in Pastel

    Netherlands: 1960. An original study, in pastels with three nude images. Perhaps a basis for sculpture, as the work shows torsos, and is more sculptural than erotic. The signature is difficult to decipher, but appears to be E Schepp or similar.  The work shows clear skill, and is in very good condition. Appears to have been drawn in the 1960's or 1970's Mounted in passe partout.  The work is held in a glazed wooden frame. The price shown here is for the pastel itself, in the passe partout, but unframed. If you wish the frame, then this is also possible for a small additional cost. (Most of the additional cost is the difficult shipping!) Image 56.6cm x 44.5cm. Frame 77cm x 66cm…

Peut-être une base pour la sculpture, car l'œuvre montre des torses, et est plus sculpturale qu'érotique. La signature est difficile à déchiffrer, mais semble être E Schepp ou similaire. Le travail montre une habileté évidente, et est en très bon état. Semble avoir été dessiné dans les années 60 ou 70 Monté dans passe-partout. L'œuvre est conservée dans un cadre en bois vernissé. Le prix indiqué ici est pour le pastel lui-même, dans le passe-partout, mais non encadré. Si vous souhaitez le cadre, cela est également possible pour un petit coût supplémentaire. (La majeure partie du coût supplémentaire est l'expédition difficile !) Image 56,6 cm x 44,5 cm. Cadre 77cm x 66cm

    CIG
    A smoking bandsman holding his Tuba

    France: NA, 1880. A nice original caricature of a standing bandsman, holding his tuba (or his euphonium) under his arm. He is smoking and looking to one side. He appears to be in military uniform, but also has an earring, so probably just a late nineteenth century band uniform. Drawn in pencil. The image is in very good condition, but does have a couple of small ink stains to it. Sheet is 20cm x 11.5cm. Signed in pencil "Cig" to the bottom right of the sheet. A nice piece.

    . Belle caricature originale d'un musicien debout, tenant son tuba (ou son euphonium) sous le bras. Il fume et regarde de côté. Il semble porter un uniforme militaire, mais il a aussi une boucle d'oreille. Il s'agit donc probablement d'un uniforme d'orchestre de la fin du XIXe siècle. Dessiné au crayon. L'image est en très bon état, mais présente quelques petites taches d'encre. La feuille mesure 20 cm x 11,5 cm. Signée au crayon "Cig" en bas à droite de la feuille. Une belle pièce.

  • A thoughtful man by Tregear

    A thoughtful man it's devilisish lucky I thought of my umberella

    London: G. Tregear, 1835. A nice copy of this hand coloured lithograph, showing a poor man in ragged clothes, with a ragged umbrella which doesn't protect him from the rain. The implication from the spelling is that he is a drinker. Printed to the top right, it states this is Tregear's Flights of humor #8. First published in 1831. Firstsearch / Copac states that this is Flights of humour #7. It seems that this is a slightly later printing of the series. Good attractive colours, with strong contrast. The stiff card is slightly darkened / marked to the background, but is still a nice copy of this scarce caricature. The print is 29.5cm x 23.5cm. This is slightly smaller…
