EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Enemy to Parochial Peculators!, 1807" showcases a hand-coloured etching by the English School in the 19th century. Measuring at 20.7x17.4 cm, this artwork is housed in Chethams Library located in Manchester, UK. The image features a portrait of Thomas Battye, renowned as the author of the Red Basil Book and an ardent critic against taxing the poor in Manchester. The accompanying quote from Cardinal Wolsey adds depth to his character: "Had I but served myself with half the zeal I served the Town, I should not in mine age have been left naked to mine enemies!". This political cartoon-style artwork uses speech bubbles and caricature-like elements to convey its message effectively. It depicts Battye standing confidently with a top hat and tailcoat, symbolizing authority and influence. The artist's intention becomes clear as they aim to expose corruption and embezzlement within parochial peculators through this satirical portrayal. By highlighting Battye's fight against taxation on the impoverished population, it emphasizes his role as a champion for justice. Overall, this engraving serves as both propaganda and historical documentation of an important figure who fought against injustice during that era. Its vibrant colors and intricate details make it an intriguing piece worth exploring further.
