Description |
English: Lithographic caricature magazine of four pages on two leaves, in the form of a (monthly) newspaper; illustrations as follows. 1 December 1832
[6] William IV and Louis Philippe stand together with clenched fists extended towards the truculent Mynheer (right), while Belga (left) crouches behind their backs, and Leopold shelters under her petticoats, peeping out through a pocket-slit. Below: '6th There appears no doubt that Mynheer would have driven away the seducer, & brought back his erring wife to a sense of duty; but at this juncture enters first one fighting uncle & then an other, who dispute his maritial [sic] rights. We know not the denouement of the piece, but look for poetical justice'. See No. 17295, &c. (Van Stolk, No. 7111.) |

Notes |
Notes to No. 17312: Tory opposition to the policy of the Government over the Dutch crisis is stigmatized as pro-Dutch. Baron Chassé (1765-1849) was the Dutch general who commanded the citadel of Antwerp against the French from 29 Nov. to 23 Dec. 1832. J. C. J. van Speyk was a naval lieutenant who blew up his gun¬boat on 5 Feb. 1831, because, despite an armistice, the flag had been pulled down and the crew made prisoners by the Antwerp mob and some volunteers. He became a national hero, the subject of prints, monuments, &c. The Times, 21 Feb. 1831; Van Stolk, Nos. 6912-80. It is suggested that his sacrifice was ill-judged, based on Dutch courage; cf. Praed, An Epistle . . ., 30 Nov. 1832. Pol. Poems . . ., 1888, p. 208. The Times 'blows up' the Tories' foreign policy; see No. 17295, &c. Notes to No. 17314: Lord Henley opposed Hume at the Middlesex election; he was a very unpopular candidate as a Tory, a 'placeman' (Master in Chancery), and one of a family of pensioners. The Times, 22 Nov., &c. He retired from the contest on 12 Dec.; ibid. 15 Dec. The allusion to burial is presumably to an election speech of Henley's. Notes to No. 17318: On 13 Nov. a meeting was held at the London Tavern of 'merchants, shipowners, and others, anxious for the preservation of pacific relations between this country and others'. Thomas Baring said: 'But then we were told again that we must make war in order to prevent war. He confessed that he was not Irishman enough to understand that reasoning.' The Times, 14 Nov., reported the proceedings at some length, with a leading article violently attacking the meeting which it called 'a desperate failure'. It ended: 'If we had to express our opinion of the meeting in one word, we should say—if we could command our laughter—Bah!' On 15 Nov. Baring was attacked in The Times as pro-Dutch and with Dutch interests: 'he is a sort of Brummagem Dutchman, pleading the cause of Dutch stubbornness, rapacity, and aggression ...'. See No. 17395, &c.; for Brougham and The Times, No. 16837, &c.; for Durham's relations with it, No. 17005. Notes to No. 17319: On Tenterden's death (4 Nov.), Denman, the Attorney-General, was at once appointed C.J. of the King's Bench; the other two, opponents of Reform, being excluded on political grounds, though superior in professional status and ability. See Greville, Memoirs, 1938, ii. 329 f. For Elijah's mantle cf. No. 10992, by Gillray, on which this print may be based. Bound in a volume ("The Looking Glass, Vol. III") containing nos. 25 to 36 for 1832. Vols. I to VII (1830 to 1836) are kept at 298.d.12 to 18. |
