EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases Sam House, known as the Patriotic Publican or Liberty Boy, who tragically passed away in 1785. The image depicts House in his iconic black waistcoat and linen shirt, holding a bowl and tobacco pipe. As an ex-cooper and ardent supporter of Whig politician Charles James Fox, House opened a renowned pub called Intrepid Fox on Wardour Street. The artist Robert Cooper skillfully captured House's eccentricity and charisma through this stipple engraving turned lithograph. This particular artwork is featured in Henry Wilson and James Caulfields Book of Wonderful Characters, Memoirs, and Anecdotes of Remarkable and Eccentric Persons in all ages and countries. House's unique persona made him a curious figure within society during the late 18th century. His dedication to free trade, business enterprises, and British culture resonated with many patrons who frequented his establishment. The print not only serves as a visual representation of House but also provides insight into the bustling bar scene that thrived during this era. Displayed against a backdrop of historical significance, this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into the vibrant streetscape of 18th-century London. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece by Cooper himself while also serving as an important artifact from British history.
