Battaglia Navale trà Inglesi et Olandesi seguita alli XI, e iz di Settembre L'Anno 1666 nel Mare Brittanico.
[Etched by Gerard Bouttats?]
[Vienna, c.1672.]
Etching, scarce. 305 x 415mm (12 x 16¼"). Small margins, slightly foxed. Tear and splits in binding folds with old repairs, chips in margins.
A sea battle during the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-7), fought over mercentile supremacy. As no notable sea battle was fought in September the battle is likely to be the 'St James' Day Battle', fought 4-5th August off North Foreland and Orfordness. The Flemish engraver Gerard Bouttats, who worked in Antwerp, Cologne and Vienna, illustrated Galeazzo Gualdo Priorato's histories, including an Italian-text map of the Dutch attack on Medway in 1667.
NMM PAF4512, unidentified.

The Chinese Junk Keyring. Length 160 feet, breadth 33 feet, depth of hold 16 feet, burthen about 800 Tons.
London J.T. Wood Holywell St. Strand
[c.1850]
Zinc engraving, sheet 115 x 150mm (4½ x 6"). Foxing at edges.
The Chinese junk, Keying, which sailed from China to England and the United States (via the Cape of Good Hope) between 1846 and 1848. Probably published to coincide with its arrival in British waters in 1848. The ship subsequently sailed on to the US; even though the ship’s captain Charles Alfred Kellett (b.1812) did not plan to stop in New York City, he found himself off-course and eventually anchored in Battery Park, a resort for racing, sports, ice-skating and fashion. The ship remained for nine days in New York and over 7000 people a day paid 25 cents each to board the boat to examine its cabins and observe the crew. The American publishers Currier & Ives made a similar print to this one to commemorate the arrival of the ship in New York.
For another image of the same vessel see ref. 41651.
