The Cheshunt monorail was the world's third monorail and the first to carry passengers, with horses pulling carriages along the mile-long track. Robinson also invented corrugated iron, designed and executed the Eastern Dock in London, and was instrumental in the founding of the Institution of Civil Engineeers.

Pub. July 1834, by Ackermann & Co. 96, Strand.
Very scarce lithograph, sheet 185 x 215mm. 7¼ x 8½". Sheet trimmed.
Two European travellers visiting the tomb of Richard Lemon Lander (1804 - 1834), who explored the course of the Niger river, West Africa. The son of a Truro innkeeper, Lander's explorations began as an assistant to the Scottish explorer Hugh Clapperton, on an expedition to Western Africa in 1825. After Clapperton's death near Sokoto, Lander proceeded southeast to Kano and then returned to the coast through the country of the Yoruba people. He returned to Western Africa in 1830, accompanied by his brother John. They landed at Badagri and followed the lower Niger River from Bussa to the sea. After exploring about 160 kilometres of the Niger River upstream, they returned to explore the Benue River and Niger Delta before travelling back to England. On a trading expedition up the Niger in 1832, Lander was wounded by tribesmen attacking his canoe, and he died soon thereafter. Probably from ‘A Journal of the Niger Expedition...by Macgregor Laird and D. N. R. Oldfield,’ London, 1834, 2 vols. Laird and Oldfield are likely the two men here depicted. Not in Abbey Travel. From: Charborough House, residence to the Erle-Drax family.

Richard Oastler, 12 Coffee Gallery, Fleet Prison Dec. 9 1840
Madeley lith. 5 Wellington St. Strand
Lithograph, rare, sheet 230 x 150mm (9 x 6"). Trimmed. Bit messy.
Richard Oastler (1789 - 1861), factory reformer. Oastler was famously 'awakened' in 1830 to the cruelties routinely practiced in English textile mills, and throughout the 1830s was an infuential advocate of factory reform, his oratorical skills earned him the sobriquet 'The factory king'. His paternalistic view of society meant that Oastler, the quintessential Tory radical, abhorred the idea of strikes, trade unions and universal suffrage. Eventually, in 1838, Thomas Thornhill, the squire of Fixby who employed Oastler as a steward on his estate, turned against Oastler, dismissing him and initiating legal proceedings against him. Unable to repay debts to Thornhill which he had accumulated, Oastler was committed to the Fleet prison for three and a half years (the date on this print is the date his sentence began). As this portrait suggests, Oastler kept busy in prison editing a weekly newspaper, and continued to edit a magazine after his release, but these had little influence. It was not as a writer but as a presence and speaker that Oastler was most influential.

The scene of the first attempt on Queen Victoria's life, showing the pregnant monarch and her husband travelling on Constitution Hill in a phæton, the Wellington Arch in the background, and Edward Oxford with his pistol raised. After firing two shots he was seized by onlookers. He was charged with treason, but, as no bullets could be found at the scene, it could not be proved his pistols had more than powder in them. He was found 'not guilty by reason of insanity' and sent to Bethlem asylum, where he was a model prisoner for nearly quarter of a century. In 1864 he was transferred to Broadmoor, still a model prisoner, and in 1867 it was decided to release him on the proviso he left the country and never returned. He left for Australia, where he changed his name to John Freeman, married, served as a churchwarden in Melbourne and published a book called Lights and Shadows of Melbourne Life in 1888. He died in 1900.
