[Map of Rotherhithe and Limehouse, from John Rocque's ‘Plan of the cities of London and Westminster, and borough of Southwark’.]
Published by John Pine & John Tinney in October 1746 according to Act of Parliament.
Engraved map. 695 x 505mm (27¼ x 19¾"). Small margins.
The most detailed map of Rotherhithe and Limehouse up to that time, showing the locations of the small docks made obsolete by the building of the East and West India docks half a century later. This plate was on the eastern edge of an iconic 24 sheet map, with a scale of 26 inches to a mile, surveyed by John Rocque (1736 - 1762) between 1735 and 1746. The map's eleborate engraved border runs down the right of this sheet.

Prince William offering his sword to the Dean, at the Altar, the Knights Standing under their Banners.
J. Highmore del: J. Pine Sculpt.
[n.d., c.1770.]
Etching and engraving, 445 x 610mm. 17¾ x 24". Vertical centrefold as issued. Small chips and tears into image from extremities.
Ceremony of installation of knights of the Order of the Bath inside Westminster Abbey. A young Prince William, Duke of Cumberland (1721 – 1765), a younger son of George II, kneels before the altar. The knights stand in plumed hats in rows at either side under their banners, a huge crowd of spectators beyond the altar. The Most Honourable Order of the Bath is an order of chivalry founded by George I on 18 May 1725. The name derives from the medieval ceremony for creating a knight, which involved bathing (as a symbol of purification) as one of its elements. Recipients of the Order are now usually senior military officers or senior civil servants. The Order of the Bath is the fourth-most senior of the British Orders of Chivalry, after The Most Noble Order of the Garter, The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, and The Most Illustrious Order of St Patrick. Numbered 'III' upper left, this is a plate to 'The procession and ceremonies observed at the time of the Installation of the Knights Companion of the Order of the Bath', London; J. Pine, first published 1730. John Pine (1690 - 1756), engraver, publisher, print and mapseller, was Bluemantle pursuivant at the College of Arms and engraver to the king's signet and stamp office. Very scarce.
