@TimHitchcock @DrFrancisYoung But the myth must have started by 1755 when Hogarth showed a wounded rioter with his flag lettered "Give us our Eleven Days" (detail of The Election Entertainment @britishmuseum Cc,2.182)
@blueloutter This is Lord Amherst who led the 'military overreaction' to the Gordon Riots. Print published by Mary Darly, 18 June 1780. @britishmuseum says by her husband Matthew/Matthias, but he had died 6 months earlier. I'll correct next week.

@t_colgate @britishmuseum My contribution was tiny - the exhibition was the work of the late great Richard Godfrey. But look out for Tim Clayton's major new book on Gillray, due to appear next spring.
@t_colgate @MartinRowson @MelBrooks A fine updating of the attached @britishmuseum J,3.53 (from the collection of Sarah Banks who knew all those portrayed). I'm glad the cardboard bus has not been forgotten.
