[Anon., c.1720]
Scarce engraving, sheet 330 x 230mm (13 x 9"). Trimmed inside platemark; slight creasing.
A prostitute (identifiable from the pockmarks on her face) sits with her foot in the stocks. A child stood nearby chides her for the shortcomings of her night rail (a loose garment worn by both). The verses below explain that it is this deception which has landed her in the stocks. The final line of the verses advises that 'Chalk and Chees are not the same', and both can be found on a plate on the far left. Rare early satire.

The Imperial Stables in Vienna, designed by Austrian architect Johann Bernard Fischer von Erlach and inspired by the Emperor Nero's 'Domus Aurea'. The building included stables for six hundred horses, room for two hundred state coaches, and an amphitheatre for public displays, and a horse pond.

After the stables became redundant in the twentieth century, the site was used for trade fairs before recently becoming 'MuseumsQuartier Wien', an arts centre including several museums, galleries and other cultural institutions. In the background are the Vienna districts of Laimgrube and St. Ulrich Plate from Fischer's 'Entwurf einer historischen Architektur' ('Outline of Historical Architecture', first published 1721) , the first comparative architecture of all periods and nations.

Fischers V:E:
Cum Privil: Sacr: Caesar Majest. [Leipzig, 1725]
Engraving with very large margins, platemark 300 x 430mm (11¾ x 17"). Text in French and German; foxing to top of image.
The Imperial Stables in Vienna, designed by Austrian architect Johann Bernard Fischer von Erlach and inspired by the Emperor Nero's 'Domus Aurea'. The building included stables for six hundred horses, room for two hundred state coaches, and an amphitheatre for public displays, and a horse pond. The stables were severely damaged during the French Occupation of Vienna in the Napoleonic Wars, after which they were renovated and expanded. After the stables became redundant in the twentieth century, the site was used for trade fairs before recently becoming 'MuseumsQuartier Wien', an arts centre including several museums, galleries and other cultural institutions. In the background are the Vienna districts of Laimgrube and St. Ulrich Plate from Fischer's 'Entwurf einer historischen Architektur' ('Outline of Historical Architecture', first published 1721) , the first comparative architecture of all periods and nations.

Isaac Watts D.D.
[Anon, pub. W. Richardson 1803]
Mixed-method, sheet 145 x 100mm (5¾ x 4"). Trimmed inside platemark; laid on backing sheet.
Isaac Watts (1674-1748), Independent minister and writer. Watt's most lasting impact was as a poet (in which capacity his abilities were recognized by Samuel Johnson) and hymn-writer. The success of Watts' hymns and psalms was partly due to the Methodists, as John Wesley included many of them (with modifications) in his first hymnbook, in 1737. Watts' 'Divine Songs' were imitated and parodied by, amongst others, William Blake (''Songs of Innocence', 1789) and Lewis Carroll ('Alice in Wonderland', 1865).
