H. Holbein pinxit [c.1650]
Engraving, platemark 150 x 90mm (6 x 3½"). Trimmed from large sheet; glued to backing sheet.
Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536), Dutch Renaissance humanist and a Catholic theologian. Erasmus prepared important new Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament, and also wrote The Praise of Folly, Handbook of a Christian Knight, On Civility in Children, Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style, Julius Exclusus, and many other works. Erasmus lived through the Reformation period and he consistently criticized some contemporary popular Christian beliefs. In relation to clerical abuses in the Church, Erasmus remained committed to reforming the Church from within. He also held to Catholic doctrines such as that of free will, which some Protestant Reformers rejected in favour of the doctrine of predestination. His middle road disappointed and even angered many Protestants, such as Martin Luther, as well as conservative Catholics. This is one of numerous engravings reproducing the likeness of Erasmus by Hans Holbein the younger.

Grand Celebration ob de Bobalition ob African Slabery. Life in Philadelphia No. 11
Drawn & Eng.d by J. Harris
T.C. Lewis & Co. 96 Cheapside London [c1850]
Etching and aquatint with hand-colouring, platemark 225 x 275mm (8¾ x 10¾"), with large margins. Borders dusty.
The 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population were first published by Edward William Clay in the United States in the 1820s. Shortly after the London publisher W. Harrison Isaacs published a set of copies mostly drawn by William Summers and engraved by Charles Hunt, augmenting them with new caricatures in the same vein but set in London. Isaacs' plates subsequently passed to Gabriel Shire Tregear, and then to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this impression. Hickman notes that Lewis's reissue of Tregear's set of 20 'Life in Philadelphia' prints is dated to 1860 by the Library Company of Philadelphia, but suggests 'it was probably earlier'. This is the only print in Tregear's/Lewis's set which was not engraved by Charles Hunt. It clearly relates to the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833.

The Holy Alliance Unmasked.

London Pub, Feb 1823, by J Dickinson 114 New Bond St.
Hand-coloured lithograph, printed area 250 x 290mm (11¾ x 9½"). Large tear on left going just into image; rare.
Satire, presumably on the 1822 Congress of Verona, in which representatives of the Quintuple Alliance (Russia, Austria, Prussia, France and the United Kingdom) debated, amongst other matters, the 'Spanish Question'. This concerned the proposed French intervention in Spain to restore Ferdinand VII to his throne and bring an end to the 'Trienio Liberal' of 1820-3, three years of liberal democracy following a popular uprising against the king. Those assembled are in favour of restoring the king with the exception of Wellington, on the right, who denounces this 'Unholy Alliance' and insists 'I will have no hand in it'.

HMS Impregnable, a navy ship launched in 1810, off the coast of Sardinia. The ship saw service in the Mediterranean from 1841-3.

A Black Ball. La Pastorelle. Life in Philadelphia No. 10
W. Summers Del. C. Hunt Sc.
T.C. Lewis & Co. 96 Cheapside London [c1850]
Etching and aquatint with hand-colouring, sheet 220 x 275mm (8½ x 10¾"). Trimmed. Very slight staining in middle.
The 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population were first published by Edward William Clay in the United States in the 1820s. Shortly after the London publisher W. Harrison Isaacs published a set of copies drawn by William Summers and engraved by Charles Hunt, augmenting them with new caricatures in the same vein but set in London. Isaacs' plates subsequently passed to Gabriel Shire Tregear, and then to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this impression. Hickman notes that Lewis's reissue of Tregear's set of 20 'Life in Philadelphia' prints is dated to 1860 by the Library Company of Philadelphia, but suggests 'it was probably earlier'.
