[James Nayler] James Naylor the Quaker.
[Francis Place.]
[n.d., c.1750.]
Rare & scarce mezzotint. Sheet 215 x 165mm (8½ x 6½"). Ttimmed to plate, laid on album paper.
Having been a quarter-master in the Parliamentarian army, Nayler became a Quaker in 1651, joining the Valiant Sixty, a group of early Quaker preachers and missionaries. Nayler [1618-60] was one of the more radical members, and in 1656 he and his friends staged a demonstration entering Bristol on a donkey, re-enacting Christ's entering Jerusalem. Nayler was arrested and convicted of blasphemy; branded on the forehead with the letter B and his tongue bored through, he went to prison for two years. On his release he repented of his actions, but continued his Quaker life until he died a day after being mugged. Despite the blasphemy he remained an influential figure to the Quaker movement.

The Bridge from Mountaine to Mountaine in the Province of Xensi Called the flying Bridg 400 Cub: long 500 high.
[Francis Place?]
[London: John Ogilby, 1669.]
Etching, 17th century watermark. 215 x 305mm (8½ x 12"), with very large margins. Time stained.
Although the 'flying bridge' at Shensi described by Athanasius Kircher, a Jesuit priest, is believed to have been a bamboo suspension bridge, this view shows a conventional stone bridge over a a waterfall. An etching probably by Francis Place, who worked with Wenceslaus Hollar on John Ogilby's 'An Embassy from the East-India Company of the United Provinces', the first English edition of Johan Nieuhof's account of the embassy. However this state, with lettering lower right, was included in Ogilby's edition of Arnoldus Montanus's 'Asia'.
