The Statue in Leicester Square.
[Anon., c1872.]
Watercolour with attached woodcut from 'Punch, or the London Charivari', sheet 600 x 470mm (23½ x 18½"). On paper with Whatman 1820 watermark.
In around 1784 an equestian statue of George I, previously at Canons in Middlesex, was moved to Leicester Square. As the condition of the square deteriorated so did that of the statue. In 1866 practical jokers painted the horse with spots, placed a dunce's hat (from the nearby Alhambra Theatre) on the monarch's head, and lodged a broomstick in the crook of his arm. The statue was sold for £16 in 1872 and removed from the square.

[1660]
Engraving with accompanying letterpress sheet, 17th century watermark; each 470 x 350mm (18½ x 13¾"). Large margins on 3 sides. Remargined on left.
Henri IV (1553-1610), king of France from 1589 until his death. Baptised as a Catholic but raised as a Protestant, the conflict between the two faiths in 16th century France was the leitmotif of Henri's rule. He had already led Protestant forces against the royal army before succeeding his brother-in-law and distant cousin Henri III as king of France, and although he promulgated the Edict of Nantes in 1598 which effectively ended the French Wars of Religion, the underlying tensions remained. Despite his moderacy, Henri was viewed with suspicion by both Catholics and Protestants, and after surviving at least twelve assassination attempts, he was murdered by the fanatical Catholic François Ravaillac in 1610. 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 (and women) hanging in Richelieu's 'Galerie des hommes illustres' by Simon Vouet and Philippe de Champaigne (although only four of the original paintings survive).

Drawn on Stone by T. Allom Printed by C. Hullmandel
Arnold's Magazine of the Fine Arts [c.1833]
Rare lithograph, sheet 275 x 220mm (10¾ x 8½").
Francis Goodwin (1784-1835) was one of seventeen architects invited to submit designs for a new House of Commons in 1833. Goodwin's Perpendicular scheme, seen here, was much admired when he published it. They influenced entries for the new Houses of Parliament which were solicited after the disastrous fire of 1834 made a whole new Houses of Parliament building necessary. That competition, of course, was won by Charles Barry, whose designs resulted in one of London's most iconic buildings.

Etching, platemark 355 x 250mm (14 x 9¾").
Plate from the 'Recueil de cent estampes representant differentes nations du Levant' (1714-5). Commissioned by Marquis Charles de Ferriol, ambassador from the court of Versailles to the Sublime Porte (the central government of the Ottoman Empire) from 1699 to 1710, the work had a profound impact on aesthetic notions of Turkey in eighteenth-century Europe. Ferriol brought with him to Istanbul the eighteen-year-old Flemish painter Jean-Baptiste Vanmour, from whom he commissioned at least a hundred paintings of Turkish life (some of which are now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), which served as the basis for the engravings in the collection. The volume also included transcriptions of the music which accompanied the whirling dervishes. Engraved by French printmaker and publisher Gérard Scotin I (1643 - 1715), one of a family of engravers.

Mezzotint with engraving. Plate: 285 x 440mm (11¼ x 17¼"), with large margins. Light foxing. Slight rubbing on portrait.
Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (1757 - 1834). Enthusiastic about the news of the American Revolution, he left France to join George Washington's army. He quickly won the close friendship of Washington, was wounded at Brandywine, shared the hardships of Valley Forge, and obtained a divisional command. After a trip to France (1779-80), where he negotiated for French aid, he distinguished himself in the Yorktown campaign. Returning to France in 1782, Lafayette was made commander of the militia (later named the National Guard) the day after the fall of the Bastille (July, 1789). In 1824-25 he visited the United States, where he was given an hero's welcome. He became a popular symbol of the bond between France and the United States, and his direct descendants, the Chambrun family, are honorary U.S. citizens.

Blaise de Lasseran-Massencôme, seigneur de Montluc (c.1502-77), marshal of France. Montluc famously defended Siena in 1555 and held Guyenne for the king during the French Religious Wars. He is most famous, however, for his book of memoirs, the 'Commentaires de Messire Blaise de Montluc' (1592), which have been described as a 'soldier's bible'. 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.
For another portrait of Montluc see ref. 2093.
