Best Mode of Going to Bartholomew Fair.
Designed and Etched by T. Lane.
Pub. by G. Hunt Corner of York St & Bridges St.
Fine coloured aquatint. Sheet 305 x 225mm (12 x 8¾"). Trimmed within plate, tear through title, laid on album paper.
A man smoking a pipe and carrying a cudgel, his body protected by a barrel with spikes, heavy boots protrunding from the bottom. Bartholomew Fair, held on the 24th August in Smithfield, was founded as a cloth fair in 1133. It expanded over the years to include sideshows, especially prize-fighters, musicians, wire-walkers, acrobats, puppets, freaks and wild animals, as illustrated in a famous view in the 'Microcosm of London'. However it also became increasing rowdy, with fights and muggings, as satirised here, and eventually the fair was suppressed in 1855.

Ten lithographs of 20? after drawings by Théodore Géricault (1791 - 1824) and published shortly after his death. Subjects include military and oriental costume studies, fighting bulls, the philosopher Helvetius presenting his son to Voltaire, and a fragment of Michelangelo's 'Last Judgment'. After Géricault's death at the age of 32, his works were auctioned in a sale which contained around 220 paintings and an estimated 1600-1800 drawings and watercolours. Géricault sold very little in his lifetime, and so he owned most of his work at the time of his death. The drawings reproduced here were probably purchased at the auction by Blaisot. While he had little financial success in his lifetime, Géricault's postuhumous influence was on the likes of Delacroix and Courbet was great.

[n.d. c.1820] London, Pubd. by Thos. Mc.Lean, 26, Haymarket.
Coloured etching. 349 x 254mm. 13¾" x 10".
Theodore Lane (1800-1828), was apprenticed to the miniature painter John Barrow, with whom he studied watercolour portraits and miniatures, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1819. His real talent, however, lay in his depiction of humorous subjects; a series of thirty-six subjects designed and etched by him, entitled The Life of an Actor, was published in 1825. Lane also etched a number of sets of satirical and comic prints of sporting and social life, and he became well-known for his caricatures of George IV and Queen Caroline. He turned to oil painting in 1825, and within two years was exhibiting work at the Royal Academy. Lane died at the young age of twenty-eight when he fell through a skylight.

After Jean Louis André Théodore Géricault (1791-1824). From the only edition of Rodwell and Martin's 'Various Subjects drawn from life on Stone', known as the 'English Series'. Despite its commercial failure at the time, Gericault's 'English Series' is now considered to have been of the greatest importance in the development of lithography as an art form during the first half of the nineteenth century. Due to the comparitively small number of impressions printed before the stones were effaced, exampes of Gericault's lithographs from this series are now exteremelty rare and have always been amongst the most sought after of his original printed works.

Lithograph, printed area 180 x 180mm (7 x 7"). Collector's stamp of [?]Paul and Véronique Sanchez verso (probably variant of L.3289).
Illustration of Lord Byron's poem 'The Bride of Abydos'. Specifically, the scene corresponds with Canto 2, verse X and the lines 'I said I was not what I seem'd;/ And now thou see'st my words were true'. Salim throws his cloak aside, revealing himself as a dashing pirate, and reveals to Zuleika that she is not his sister. From a set of six lithographs illustrating Byron, by Théodore Géricault (1791-1824) and Eugène Lami (1800-90), of which two were by Lami alone. Prior to 1822, Géricault had been able to live without much thought to the saleability of his works owing to a comfortable annuity he received following the death of his mother. However, the loss of part of his fortune in 1822 required him to produce work designed to appeal to dealers and collectors, with illustrations of exotic literature such as Byron falling into this category.

This print is from the only edition printed by Rodwell and Martin, issued as No. 6 in the series, 'Various Subjects drawn from life on Stone', known as the 'English Series', 1821. Despite their commercial failure in England at the time, Gericault's 'English Series' is now considered to have been of the greatest importance in the development of lithography as an art form during the first half of the nineteenth century. Due to the comparitively small number of impressions printed before the stones were effaced, exampes of Gericault's lithographs from this series are now exteremelty rare and have always been amongst the most sought after of his original printed works.
