View of Blenheim House in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. Following his victory at the Battle of Blenheim (known on the Continent as the Second Battle of Höchstädt) during the war of the Spanish Succession in 1704, the commander John Churchill, first duke of Marlborough was given land and £240,000 to build a palace as a gift from Queen Anne and the nation. Work on Blenheim Palace began the following year, to designs by Sir John Vanbrugh, although it was not completed until 1733, eleven years after Marlborough's death. He was commemorated by the 'Column of Victory' seen in the middle-ground of this print, which shows Marlborough dressed as a Roman general.

Herongate, Essex.
Frank Brangwyn [signed in pencil].
Etching, platemark 180 x 240mm (7 x 9½") very large margins.
The Boar's Head in Herongate, Essex, now a Grade II listed country pub. Etched by Frank William Brangwyn (Bruges, 1867 - London, 1956), one of the most influential etchers of the early twentieth century. Brangwyn had already established his reputation as a major painter and watercolourist at the time of his first etching in 1900. He was then quickly drawn more and more to the many possibilities of this artistic medium and by 1926 had completed 331 original etchings. Most of Brangwyn's art concentrated upon figure studies, architectural and marine subjects. He traveled extensively and many of his most famous etchings are of continental views, particularly scenes from Normandy, Belgium and Italy.

Chapé & Lefevre lith 99 Guildford St. Russell Sq.e
Lithograph and tintstone, very scarce; sheet 150 x 190mm (6 x 7½").
The explosion at Seaford, Sussex in 1850, which was organised in order to blast away a huge mass of chalk cliff to create a large rock groyne and prevent pebbles from being transported from the Seaford Beach towards Beachy Head. As shown here, the event attracted vast crowds (including Charles Dickens, who wrote about it for 'Household Words'). The explosion took place successfully, but the chalk was blasted into very small fragments which, rather than retaining shingle at Seaford beach, merely accelerated the eastwards flow of sediment it was intended to prevent.
