A Barouche with Ackermann's Patent Moveable Axles.
Drawn by C. Blunt. Engraved by S. Mita[missing].
Published Jany. 1 1820 at R. Ackermann's, 101 Strand, London.
Hand coloured engraving, sheet 145 x 240mm. 5¾ x 9½". Sheet trimmed.
A barouche was a four-wheeled, shallow carriage with two double seats inside, arranged vis-à-vis, so that the sitters on the front seat faced those on the back seat. It had a soft collapsible half-hood folding like a bellows over the back seat and a high outside box seat in front for the driver. It was used principally for leisure driving in the summer. Numbered 'Plate 3, Vol. IX' upper right, for Rudolph Ackermann's 'Repository of Arts' periodical, published from 1809-1829. The formal title of the publication was "Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashions, and Politics", and it discussed and illustrated day to day life, and influenced English taste in fashion, architecture and literature. Ackermann's ingenuity and enterprise were not directed to fine art matters alone. His father had been a coach-builder and harness-maker in Germany and his early years in London were engaged in making designs for many of the principal coach-builders. The preparation of Lord Nelson's funeral car (1805) was entrusted to his skill. Between 1818 and 1820 he was occupied with a patent for movable carriage axles.

Pubd. According to Act March 17 1771 [additional text scratched out].
Etching, 180 x 210mm (7 x 8¼"). Trimmed to platemark; glued to backing sheet; slight staining.
French coaching print with verses below translating as: 'Barbaric English! who with the same blade/ cut off the head of their king and the tails from their horses/ but the genteel French let their king's heads remain/ and also, as you see, the tails of their beasts' (!) Attributed to Henry Bunbury, possibly one of his earliest works. Bunbury was an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).

[A pair of scenes of Russian carriages after Alexander Orlowsky.]
[Sleigh] Redman Lithog. Maiden Lane, Cov.t Gard.n.
[n.d., 1820-3.]
Pair of lithographs with hand colour, fine condition with superb colour; 440 x 540mm (17¼ x 21¼"). Framed. Unexamined out of frame.
A pair of early British lithographs, with two Russian scenes: a four-wheeled carriage drawn by two horses, carrying a driver and passenger with a monocle through a town; and a two-horse sleigh with an officer and driver, racing through a village. After Alexander Osipovich Orlovsky (Warsaw 1777 - St. Petersburg 1832), a talented battle scene painter, portrait painter and caricaturist whose range of medium included watercolours, oils, engravings and pastels. He travelled extensively and was a volunteer in the partisan group led by Thadeusz Kosciuszko in the Polish liberation movement and uprising of 1794. He moved to Russia in 1802 where he settled in St. Petersburg and was a court artist for the Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, for whom he executed drawings of uniforms and military parades. During his period in St. Petersburg he created numerous genre scenes and also society portraits. Most of his paintings and drawings from this time, however, were scenes of army life and battles, as well as romantic subjects featuring brigands and shipwrecks. David J. Redman was a former employee of Georg Johann Vollweiler, who sold the secret of lithography to Colonel John Brown in 1807. Redman's plan of Bantry Bay of 1808 is the earliest known lithographic map. 'British Map Engravers – A Supplement' gives his address as Maiden Lane from 1820 to 1823.
