Title
The Jacobites Hopes, or Perkin Rideing in Triumph
Description
English: Broadside satirising support for James Edward Stuart, the Old Pretender, at the time of the impeachment of Henry Sacheverell in early 1710. An etching showing James Edward driving a carriage decorated with the French fleur-de-lis drawn by two donkeys ("Non Res[istance]" and "Pas[sive] Ob[edience]" referring to Henry Sacheverell's doctrines), two tigers ("Tyranny" and "Arb[itrary] Pow[er]" and two dragons ("Slav[er]y" and "Pop[er]y"); one of the donkey is ridden by Sacheverell, in Jesuit dress, blowing a trumpet from which hangs a banner bearing the monograms "ER/AR". The animals tramples on four fallen figures representing Property, Moderation, Toleration, and Liberty. Behind is a procession led by the Pope, followed by an armed friar, a cardinal carrying a flaming torch, a bishop with a gallows and a scourge, and a Jesuit with a pillory. Etched title and verses in three columns mentioning the threat of catholicism to Britain, Queen Anne and the Pretender, identified as Perkin Warbeck. (n.p; 1710)

Notes

The name "Perkin" in the title refers to Perkin Warbeck, an earlier pretender who claimed the throne as Richard, Duke of York, son of Edward IV.

Stephens dates the print to 1709 when Sacheverell gave his inflammatory sermon on 5 November, but the print was advertised by Pennock in the Evening Post for 3 - 6 February 1711: "Just publish'd The Effigies of the Three Oculists of Great Britain, viz. Dr. Sacheverel, Sir Will. Read and Roger Grant Esq; Price 2d; The Turn-Coats, Pr.2d. The Funeral of the Low Church, or the Whigs last Will and Testament, Pr. 2d.The Jacobite Hopes, or Perkin riding in Triumph, Pr. 2d. London's Happiness in 4 Loyal Members, Pr. 1d. Faults on both sides pr. 1d. All curiously engraved on copper, and Printed on fine Paper, with Heroic Poems to each explaining the Figures. All printed for Will. Pennock at the Picture shop in Pannier Alley in Pater-Noster-Row" (information from Malcolm Jones, October 2010)
