Anne Boleyn (c.1500-1536) was second wife to Henry VIII, and mother to Elizabeth I.

Queen Caroline of Brunswick (1768-1821), the Queen consort of King George IV. In 1814, she first met Bartolomeo Bergami and employed him as a servant. Their relationship grew strong, friendly and intimate. It was widely rumoured that they were lovers and so the King, now with a reason, could forge ahead with the divorce. Instead of treating her like a Queen, the church, George and the court introduced a bill in Parliament, the Pains and Penalties Bill 1820, which stripped Caroline of the title of queen consort and dissolve her marriage.

[Landscape with large trees.]
Ric. Cooper del. 1802
Pen lithograph, rare; sheet 235 x 325mm (9¼ x 12¾"). Glued to backing sheet at corners; unidentified collector's stamp verso. Trimmed to image as usual.
One of the twelve pen lithographs from 'Specimens of Polyauthography', the first set of artist's lithographs ever published (by Philipp André in 1803). The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing artists to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography. Cooper (1740-1814) had studied in Paris with the famous engraver J.-P. Le Bas and earned the nickname 'the English Poussin' for his depictions of Rome and its surroundings. After succeeding Alexander Cozens as drawing master at Eton in 1768, in later life he became drawing master to Princess Charlotte (1796-1814).

Early lithograph by Richard Cooper (1740-1814). The son of another engraver, Cooper worked for a time in Italy, where he befriended Alexander Runciman and developed a style of landscape painting similar to that of Runciman (he became known as the 'English Poussin'). After marrying in Edinburgh in 1777, Cooper settled in London around 1787, where he dedicated himself to drawing (he became drawing master at Eton) and occasionally printmaking. This lithograph was included in the 1807 edition of the first portfolio of artists' lithographs, 'Specimens of Polyauthography'.

A scene within the interior of a watch-house. A watchman stands facing an elderly constable who sits frowning in his arm chair. He holds out a broken lantern and points to a thin, fashionably dressed, and apparently drunken man who stands beside him with closed eyes, holding a large stick in his left hand. Next to the constable is a clerk writing at a desk. The room is lit by a lantern slung from the roof. A map on the wall apparently represents the roads of the parish and the beats of the watchmen.
