Sauvage montant sur un arbre. (Nouvelle hollande.)
N. Maurin del. Lith:Kaeppelin et Cie. d'apres le Croquis de J. Arago.
[Paris, c.1839.]
Lithograph. Sheet: 145 x 225mm, (5¾ x 9").
A European artist-traveller, his portfolio under his arm, watches an aboriginal Australian climb a tree to cut down a branch with his axe. Plate to 'Souvenirs d'un aveugle (blind man)' by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago (1790 - 1855), who is probably the European figure depicted. A French writer, artist and explorer, Arago joined Louis de Freycinet on his 1817 voyage around the world aboard the ship Uranie, which inspired his witty 'Voyage autour du monde'. Although he lost his sight in 1837, he went on travelling and writing for the theatre.

[Anne de Montmorency] Annas de Montmorency Comes Stabuli Sub Ludov.o 12.o Francisco i.o
[1660]
Engraving with accompanying letterpress sheet, each 470 x 350mm (18½ x 13¾"), with very large margins. Slight foxing.
Anne de Montmorency (1493-1567), French soldier, statesman and diplomat. Montmorency spent most of his career serving under king Francis I, fighting in the Italian wars and then, as governor of Languedoc, defending Provence against the invasion of Charles V from northern Italy. He was also an important diplomat, working with Cardinal Wolsey to negotiate an alliance between Francis I and Henry VII in 1527, although he fell from favour after a settlement he brokered with Charles V failed. Montmorency recovered his previous status, however, under subsequent French monarchs. From 'Les Portraits des Hommes Illustres Francois qui sont Peints dans la Galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu' (1660). The book reproduces the portraits of great men hanging in Richelieu's 'Galerie des hommes illustres' by Simon Vouet and Philippe de Champaigne (although only four of the original paintings survive). The final 'illustrious figure' was Richelieu himself.

Tinted lithograph. Sheet: 205 x 280mm (8 x 11"). Trimmed, laid on album sheet.
Thayendanegea or Joseph Brant (1743-1807) was a Mohawk military and political leader, based in present-day New York, who was closely associated with Great Britain during and after the American Revolution. He met many of the most significant figures of the time, including George Washington and King George III. In 1775 he travelled to London to gain assurance that Mohawk support for the British cause would be rewarded by fair treatment in respect of land rights. When the treaty of 1783 and the formation of the United States of America failed to protect native lands, Brant negotiated territory along the Grand River on the north shore of Lake Erie for the Iroquois people (of whom the Mohawks were a part). From Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's "Naturhistorische Abbildungen der Saeugethiere".

Portrait of Gregorio Carafa (1615 - 1690), 62nd Prince and Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (Knights of Malta) 1680 until his death in 1690.

[Paris: Denys Thierry, 1683.]
Coloured engraving. 155 x 105mm (6¼ x 4¼"), set in letterpress.
Portrait of Gregorio Carafa (1615 - 1690), 62nd Prince and Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (Knights of Malta) 1680 until his death in 1690. The sea battle underneath the portrait probably represents the Third Battle of the Dardanelles, in which the Venetian fleet, aided by seven Maltese galleys commanded by Carafa, gave the Ottomans their worst naval defeat since the Battle of Lepanto. As Grand Master he ordered the strengthening of Fort St. Angelo. From Alain Manesson Mallet's 'Description de L'Univers'.

The City Light Horse Volunteers reviewed by Lord Harrington on Wimbledon Common.
[Printed & Sold by Edw.d Langley No 173 High Street, Borough and Champante & Whitrow Jewry Street, Aldgate.] [n.d., c.1807.]
Rare finely coloured copper engraving, top section of a writing sheet. Paper 140 x 370mm (5½ x 14½"). Mounted on album paper.
The header section of a broadsheet writing sheet. The title "Sword Exercise of of the Cavalry" refers to vignettes down the side, not present here. The Light Horse Volunteers, first formed by well-to-do London merchants in 1779 and disbanded in 1783, were re-established in May 1794 as the Light Horse Volunteers of the Cities of London and Westminster. Their chief role was to suppress civil disobedience. However, as rich men with expensive gear, their reputation as soldiers was not good: the Cato Street Conspiritors planned to raid their stables as part of their plot in 1820.

[1660]
Engraving with accompanying letterpress sheet, 17th century watermark; each 470 x 350mm (18½ x 13¾") Tear to engraving lower right. Small margins on left repaired. Good repair in centre.
Francis, Duke of Guise (1519-63), French soldier and politician. Husband of Anna d'Este and uncle of Mary, Queen of Scots, his military triumphs included defending Metz against Emperor Charles V in 1552 and capturing Calais from England in 1558. In religion Guise was strongly Catholic, which served him well during the reign of Francis II but after the king's death, the favour that regent Catherine de' Medici showed towards Protestants led Guise to become part of the 'triumvirate' defending the Catholic cause. The disputes between Protestants and Catholics eventually led not just to Guise's assassination by a Huguenot, but the French Wars of Religion (1562-98). From 'Les Portraits des Hommes Illustres Francois qui sont Peints dans la Galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu' (1660). The book reproduces the portraits of great men hanging in Richelieu's 'Galerie des hommes illustres' by Simon Vouet and Philippe de Champaigne (although only four of the original paintings survive). The final 'illustrious figure' was Richelieu himself.
