Satirical print. A scene in a picture gallery contained within an etched border. A man in academic gown and bands and wearing a wig stands in a pose adopted from the Venus de Medici. A boy to his left holds out a dead cat which he has apparently just taken from a basket containing arrows on the floor in front of him. A halberd leans against the wall at centre right, a small bonnet speared upon its spike (the spoils of a Cambridge Proctor). On the wall are three framed pictures with titles beneath, from left to right: 'The Gentleman \/ and Scholar \/ United', 'Dead Game', a still life of two books, the Bible and 'University Statutes', from which projects a pair of clerical bands inscribed \"6s 8d\". An open pamphlet with the books is inscribed: 'A Sermon preached at Wisbech assizes before'. Three prints pinned beneath each picture can all be identified as satires published by Sarah Sledge, from left to right: 'The Bear, the Louse and Religion a Fable', 'Venus turn'd Proctor' and 'The Justice in the Suds'. Etched on the plate in the lower margin, a poem in three verses begins at lower left and continues at lower right: 'O Venus Beauty of the Skies, \/ To whom a thousand Temples rise, \/ Gayly false in gentle Smiles,- \/ In Mathematicks he was greater \/ Than Tycho Brake, or Erra Pater: \/ For he, by Geometrick Scale, \/ Cou'd take the Size of Pots of Ale; \/ Resolve by Sines & Tangents, straight; \/ If Bread or Butter wanted weight; \/ He knew What's What, & that's as high \/ As Metaphysick Wit can fly; \/ All lov'd him well, who knew his Fame, \/ And sent him Cats, instead of Game.'. At the centre of the lower margin, the title is etched within a double-edged border above and below: 'Venus turn'd P--ct-r'. The price is etched at lower left: 'Price 1s = 6d'. The publisher's details are etched at lower right: 'London publish'd by Mrs Sledge Henrietta Street \/ Covent Garden'. More information about the context of the satire can be found with the impression held at the British Museum: 1868,0808.4490."}],"identifier":[{"accession_number":"P.14857-R","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"P.14857-R"},{"priref":"225466","type":"priref","value":"225466"},{"type":"Stephens\/George","value":"5189"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/225466","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/225466"}],"institutions":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"legal":{"credit_line":"unknown"},"lifecycle":{"acquisition":[{"agents":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-161926","uid":"adlib-agent-161926","uuid":"86919954-05dc-38f8-8246-d58fdb3b58cb"},"summary_title":"unknown"}]}],"creation":[{"date":[{"earliest":1773,"latest":1773,"precision":"circa","value":"1773"}],"maker":[{"@link":{"role":[{"value":"printmaker"}],"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149652","uid":"adlib-agent-149652","uuid":"0d4f90dc-b166-3d4b-b0db-25f4118b6e98"},"summary_title":"Unknown"},{"@link":{"role":[{"value":"publisher"}],"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-198023","uid":"adlib-agent-198023","uuid":"60f0e41c-b262-3d36-82e4-79740289cf56"},"summary_title":"Sledge, Sarah"}],"note":[{"value":"height 175mm (plate) x width 196mm (plate)"}],"periods":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-106400","uid":"adlib-term-106400","uuid":"3e80c102-1483-3c39-b2f4-67e333d653d8"},"summary_title":"18th Century"}]}]},"multimedia":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"media-218271","uid":"adlib-media-218271","uuid":"ec15ec1f-cac6-38a1-a5e4-08cda5fa8b5f"},"processed":{"large":{"format":"jpeg","location":"pdp\/pdp82\/large_P_14857_R_1_amt49_201908_dc2.jpg","location_is_relative":true,"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"height","units":"pixels","value":890},{"dimension":"width","units":"pixels","value":1024}]},"modified":1616284274763,"resizable":true,"type":"image"},"mid":{"format":"jpeg","location":"pdp\/pdp82\/mid_P_14857_R_1_amt49_201908_dc2.jpg","location_is_relative":true,"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"height","units":"pixels","value":435},{"dimension":"width","units":"pixels","value":500}]},"modified":1616284274763,"resizable":true,"type":"image"},"original":{"format":"jpeg","location":"pdp\/pdp82\/P_14857_R_1_amt49_201908_dc2.jpg","location_is_relative":true,"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"height","units":"pixels","value":891},{"dimension":"width","units":"pixels","value":1025}]},"modified":1616284274763,"resizable":true,"type":"image"},"preview":{"format":"jpeg","location":"pdp\/pdp82\/preview_P_14857_R_1_amt49_201908_dc2.jpg","location_is_relative":true,"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"height","units":"pixels","value":217},{"dimension":"width","units":"pixels","value":250}]},"modified":1616284274763,"resizable":true,"type":"image"}},"sort":"0","type":{"base":"media","type":"image"}}],"name":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-135555","uid":"adlib-term-135555","uuid":"0e6c1c63-550d-34c9-ac66-cd1c2831ef9b"},"summary_title":"satirical print"}}],"owners":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"school_or_style":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-9168","uid":"adlib-term-9168","uuid":"6b0c59e1-73cc-3b5c-8e54-56f42806ba6f"},"summary_title":"British"}],"summary":{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-135555","uid":"adlib-term-135555","uuid":"0e6c1c63-550d-34c9-ac66-cd1c2831ef9b"},"summary_title":"satirical print"}},"summary_title":"satirical print","techniques":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-99807","uid":"adlib-term-99807","uuid":"6a23afb4-3d15-3ece-a1f8-29cd185df9ca"},"summary_title":"etching"}}],"title":[{"value":"Venus turn'd Proctor"}],"type":{"base":"object","type":"OBJECT"}}
