    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. 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…

    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.

In 1870 he founded Le Charge, in which he heavily criticized Napoleon III. He additionally contributed to Le Grelot and Le Charivari and founded Le Pétard and Le Sans-Culotte. Disappointed by the politics of Jules Ferry in the 1880s, Le Petit defended general Boulanger and sided against Dreyfus in his work. He ended being quite a sad character, and spent his final years making caricatures of tourists on the first floor of the Eiffel tower, and singing and playing the violin in cabarets.

Déçu par la politique de Jules Ferry dans les années 1880, Le Petit défend le général Boulanger et prend parti contre Dreyfus dans son œuvre. Il finit par être un personnage assez triste, et passe ses dernières années à faire des caricatures de touristes au premier étage de la tour Eiffel, à chanter et à jouer du violon dans les cabarets.
