Description: On offer: an original (i.e. not a later reproduction) scarce antique print "Gentle Manners (General Robert Manners) , with Affections Mild, In Wit a Man, Simplicity a Child." On the reverse is printed "Pen-etration. N.B. This Title has no affinity to Pen, as connected with the Goose-Quill; nor has it any allusion to Penguin, a stupid creature between a Fish & a Fowl; - the word is simply derived from Pen, as the Instrument used to express the deep researches of the mind; see the St James's Street chitchat - respecting a Keen Pen; - a Witty Pen; - & a Pen, often Cut, but never mended."Pen-etration. A caricature of Robert Manners (1758-1832), grandson of the 2nd Duke of Rutland, gazetted Major-General 3 May 1796, in the 30th (Cambridgeshire) Foot. "Pen-etration" is a caricature of of John Penn (1760-1834), miscellaneous writer and grandson of the founder of Pennsylvania. DATE PRINTED: 1851 from plates first published in 1798 and 1799.SIZE: The printed area including titles of each is approximately 27 x 19 cm (10.75 x 7 inches) plus margins (medium). ARTIST/CARTOGRAPHER/ENGRAVER: Drawn and etched by James Gillray. James Gillray (13 August 1756 – 1 June 1815) was a British caricaturist and printmaker famous for his etched political and social satires, mainly published between 1792 and 1810. Many of his works are held at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Gillray has been called "the father of the political cartoon", with his works satirizing George III, Napoleon, prime ministers and generals. Regarded as being one of the two most influential cartoonists, the other being William Hogarth, Gillray's wit and humour, knowledge of life, fertility of resource, keen sense of the ludicrous, and beauty of execution, at once gave him the first place among caricaturists. In his caricatures Gillray was attacking the social follies of the time with scathing satire, and nothing escapes his notice. He is honourably distinguished in the history of caricature by the fact that his sketches are real works of art. PROVENANCE: First published in 1798 & 1799 by H Humphrey / St James's Street. In 1849/1851 Henry George Bohn put out an edition, from the original plates in a handsome elephant folio from where this example is taken, the coarser sketches-commonly known as the "Suppressed Plates"-being published in a separate volume.VERSO: There is another view printed on the reverse side.
