Common-Wealth, The Colossus 1766 Anonymous, British, 18th century British A caricature of William Pitt the Elder, Earl of Chatham, represented as a Colossus balanced on stilts that cross the Atlantic ocean. One of these is marked "Sedition," has hooks on the end and fishes for colonists near New York. The other, marked "Popularity," rests on the Royal Exchange. The figure is supported by crutches, one marked "Pension" and the other hovering over St. Stephen's Chapel-the debating chamber of the House of Commons where Pitt had spent most of his political career. When this print was made, he had just been made Earl of Chatham and left the Commons for the House of Lords. In the background Ireland is represented, with a small figure rising out of the city of Dublin, saying: "Ah by Jesus, we will be independent too". This work is a reissue of a print first published by T. Ewart in 1766.. Common-Wealth, The Colossus. Anonymous, British, 18th century. 1766. Etching. Thomas Ewart (British, acti

Oscar Wilde as Narcissus originally published ca. 1894 Thomas Nast Thomas Nast caricatured Oscar Wilde repeatedly during the author's 1882 American lecture tour but conceived this image a decade later in response to "The Disciple," a prose-poem published in the "The Fortnightly Review" in 1894. The speaker in that verse is the pool that captured the affections of the classical youth Narcissus. Nast here represents Wilde, the famous defender of Aestheticism stretched along a dock to gaze, Narcissus-like, at his reflection. The movement's emblematic sunflower held in his left hand is labeled "Notoriety" rather than "Art," while printed text nearby proposes avarice to be the driving force behind the author's exaggerated public personna. A dollar sign within the reflected blossom establishes the pool as a mirror of truth, a surface which transforms Wilde's lanky form into a greyhound. That image refers punningly to "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1891), Wilde's controversial novel devoted to
