 Hello, I'm Dominic Wallace, Head of Development for the Society of Antiquaries. I've chosen this for my Christmas stockings, this is the one thing I'd like to have most of all, because it's a brilliant piece of satire by George Cruikshank. It's called the Antiquarian Society and why I love it so much, especially for Christmas, is Christmas in our family is always a time to share jokes and particularly satire is always a Christmas edition of the private eye going around the dining room table at Christmas. The other thing about Cruikshank is I studied Dickens at school and I remember more about the Dickens stories through Cruikshank's drawings than actually remembering the written words. He was a brilliant caricaturist and he was so good in fact that George IV paid him £100 not to do a caricature of him, well clearly the Society of Antiquaries couldn't afford £100 so they had to lump it. Well what I love so much about it is you have the President of the Society presiding over the August Fellowship and here he's saying behold gentlemen a most curious relic of antiquity no one's paying him the foggiest bit of attention and the antiquities holding is saying something so rude I can't repeat it because it's Christmas and on the table in front of them the antiquities which which they're about to study aren't quite antiquities at all we have a sarcophonist which is actually a pig trough and a Roman vase which is a commode and even these funerary irons here are quite clearly jars of pickles now this is precisely the sort of thing that would give the Wallace family a good laugh and it would have been passed around the Christmas table so I would choose the Cruikshank.
