Davison (William) of Alnwick.

Alnwick, , c.1816. numbered 38 in the upper left corner from a series of forty two satires produced by William Davison (1781-1858), noted as a pioneering apothecary as well as a printer and publisher of Bondgate Street in Alnwick. It depicts an irate man, his right hand clenched in a fist at his chest, his left hand raising his wig above his bald head, kicking over a table which sends various items of crockery flying through the air, an upended teapot emptying over a cat and dog fighting on the floor before an open fire, the man’s wife looking on in consternation. Above the fireplace hangs a painting of an erupting volcano in a thunderstorm, with another painting hanging on the back wall showing a man standing over a prisoner in a dungeon.. 165 by 235mm (6½ by 9¼ inches).
