Zustand: Good. Handcolored etching. 35 x 25cm. Encased in a sleeve.BM J,4.46:Description Fox, as a beggar, stands hat in hand beside a magnificent brass-bound treasure-chest, with a slit for money, inscribed 'Catalines Subscription Box'. He says, "Pray Remmember Poor Cataline. for Oppositions sake remmember poor Cataline." He weeps, his coat, waistcoat, breeches, and shoes are tattered, his stockings ungartered; dice-box and dice protrude from his pocket. The chest stands against a stone wall and is backed by a large framed notice: 'Supported by Voluntary | Contribution | Subscribers taken in here | The smallest Donations thankfully Reced | Charity covereth a Multitude of Sins . . . | And Humble Petitioner as in Duty Bound | Will Ever Pray' Presents monies Missing to Dad - one Million Cataline P.W. 1100,000 S T 5000 for Party D.E. 60 000 Sundries - 600,000 Purposes B.D. . . 50 won at Play }200,000 C.E. 10 000 P.W. P.D. 15 000 &c. &c. 1090,050. On each side of this huge notice-board is a modest placard: 'Poore Familys in Distress 20 Pounds would save from certain ruin a Man Wife & nine Children; A Tradesman in jail Solicits a Trifle to Support his Family, not being able to recover his just demands of some Peers & members of Parliament.' Beneath this is a heart-shaped collecting-box and a small bill: 'No Money'. On the wall a hand points (left): 'Way to the Crown and Anchor'. The title continues: 'alias the Dissipated Patriot, alias the Gamester, alias the Leader of Opposition alias the Word Eater [see BMSat 7390], alias the Soliciter for the French republic [see BMSat 8305] alias S------t Breeches [see BMSat 6580] alias the Protector [cf. BMSat 6380, &c] turned Begger.' 14 June 1793.Curator's comments (Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) A satire on the subscription for Fox, see BMSat 8331, &c. 'Monies Missing' is an allusion to the squandering of Lord Holland's fortune, see BMSat 5223 (1774). The significance of the initials, other than those indicating the Prince of Wales (then estranged from Fox, cf. BMSat 8311), is obscure; they may (reversed) indicate Earl of Derby, Duke of Bedford, Earl of Carlisle, Duke of Portland. For Fox's winnings at faro see BMSats 5972, 5997 (1782). For Fox as Catiline see BMSat 6784, &c. For the title cf. BMSat 8142.Provenance : From the collection of Frederic Gale Ruffner, Jr., the founder of Gale Research, Detroit.

See Fores' entry in the Oxford DNB. Almack's Assembly Rooms in King Street was the most fashionable venue for the dandies and belles of Regency London. The present item, deftly hand-coloured in pink, red, light and dark blue, and yellow, is 14 x 10.5 cm, in a grey border extending out to 16.5 x 13 cm. Within the head of the border is 'Illustrations to Almack's, Page 16.', and within the foot is the caption, with Fores' publication details at bottom-right. There are other illustrations by Fores to the novel, and it may be that they were issued as a series. In any case the present item is extremely scarce, no other copy having been located, at the British Library, British Museum Prints and Drawings, or elsewhere. The present copy is in good condition, but there is discoloration and wear to the grey border. 'Almack's / A Novel' had been published anonymously in London in 1826 by 'Saunders and Otley, Public Library, Conduit Street.' It appears to be the only novel that Marianne Spencer Hudson published. The passage referred to in the caption appears on p.21 of that edition: ' "There goes a flower of a youth," said Isaac to his ancient spouse; "he'll make a figure wherever he goes, my life on it, and my blessing go with him." / "Amen," said old Molly, wiping her eyes upon her blue checked apron. / Colonel Montague had indeed been the flower of his family, [.]'. The scene, as depicted by Fores, is of a young gentleman (Colonel Montagu), dressed in the height of fashion with hat in hand, looking at an armorial shield on the wall of a castle or hall, while he is stared at by a bespectackled rake of an old woman (Molly), hands raised, while her short and plump knock-kneed husband gestures to the young man while looking up at his wife with flushed cheeks. The overall effect is deliberately absurd. See image.

Pig-Faced Lady Stipple-engraved broadsheet with contemporary hand-colour above letterpress text, repaired tears at centre fold at both right- and left- hand sides, clipped at lower right and upper right corners, lightly stained at top and right. "Fancy a date with an eligible young lady who's looking for a man to share her family's vast fortune with? Who wouldn't right? Well there's a slight catch; the girl in question happens to have the head of a fully grown pig. Still interested? Believe it or not, this was a proposition which many young men in London were giving serious consideration during the winter of 1814-15. A series of bizarre rumours began to circulate around town, of a pig-faced woman who was said to be living in luxurious apartments located somewhere in the up-market district around Manchester Square. This girl was reported to be the sole heiress of a wealthy family from a remote region of Ireland, and she had been dispatched to London in order to find a husband who could take charge of the vast fortune she was due to inherit. It was said that a number of aristocratic young bachelors had already sallied forth to present themselves at her door, but had ended up beating a hasty retreat after being subjected to the spectacle of their intended dining from her favourite trough, or conducting a conversation in porcine squeals and grunts. And so, after several weeks of futile searching, the pig-faced lady, still sat alone in her opulent rooms, waiting for a man with a sufficiently strong stomach to come forward and claim her. While most Londoners instantly dismissed such talk as errant nonsense, greed overcame the common sense of a good many and the story proved to be stubbornly persistent. By the spring of 1815, newspaper advertisements began to appear from impoverished gentlemen who earnestly wished to solicit a meeting with the pig-faced lady, while others offered their services as companions or employees in her household. Such symbols of public credulity particularly irked the editors of the Times, who finally attempted to quash the story once and for all in a fantastically sarcastic editorial published on 16th February 1815: "There is at present a report, in London, of a woman, with a strangely deformed face, resembling that of a pig, who is possessed of a large fortune, and we suppose wants all the comforts and conveniences incident toward her sex and station. We, ourselves, unwittingly put in an advertisement from a young woman, offering herself to be her companion; and yesterday morning, a fellow (with a calf's head, we suppose) transmitted to us another advertisement, attended by a one pound note, offering himself to be her husband. We have put his offer in the fire, and shall send his money to some charity, thinking it a pity that such a fool should have any. Our rural friends hardly know what idiots London contains". The editorial then went on to point out that similar stories had been reported in the past: "The story, however, is an old one. About 50 years ago, it is well recollected by several elderly people, there was exactly the same rumour. It was revived with but slight effect about 30 years since; and now comes forth again in its pristine vigour. On the original invention of the pig-faced woman, about the year 1764, a man offered himself to make her an ivory trough to feed out of; which can only be considered as a feeble type of the silver cradle actually presented in our day. Besides, there was but one actor in the first folly, and there have been twenty in the latter". In fact, rumours such as this had been spontaneously popping up across western Europe since the early 1600s. It seems likely that they were initially linked to exaggerated horror-stories about the malign effects of witchcraft which gradually evolved over time to become part of popular folklore. The social function of the tale also appears to have changed, becoming a humorous means by which to gauge the apparent depths to which one's acq.
