The Volunteer_1803. [&] The Volunteer_1860.
Painted by J. Absolon_ G. McCulloch lith. Day & Son, Lithrs to the Queen.
London Published Nov.r 1.st 1860 by Lloyd Brothers & Co. 96 Gracechurch Street.
Pair of scarce lithographs with fine handcolour. Sheet: 350 x 430mm (13¾ x 17"); large margins.
The first scene shows a member of the British Volunteer Corps helping a young woman over a stile. Following the breakdown of the Truce of Amiens, Britain declared war on Napoleon in 1803 and a huge volunteer force the like of which had not been seen before was created to protect Britain from invasion. The second scene shows a young volunteer officer from 1860 holding the hand of a young lady. Following the Crimean War it became apparent that Britiain did not have enough forces to defend itself should its defences be threatened; and with fears that Britain might be caught up in the war between the French and the Prusssian Empire the new Volunteer Force was formed emulating that of 1804. The pair serves to both encourage young men to sign up to the Volunteer force and to perhaps also encourage young women to persuade their men to sign up.

Lucas Vorsterman I (1595-1675), engraver and art dealer whose early career was closely intertwined with that of Rubens (who trained Vorsterman and was a godparent to his eldest son). Their relationship soured however, to the extent that Vorsterman made an attempt on Rubens' life. After returning to Antwerp from several years in England, Vorsterman worked extensively for van Dyck, who was godfather to Vorsterman's daughter and who painted the portrait from which this engraving is taken (the painting is now in the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon). Etched by Vorsterman's son, who studied with his father, for the 'Iconographia' series of portraits after van Dyck.

London Publish'd Feb.y 14. 1788 by W. Palmer, No.163 Strand.
Stipple printed in red, proof before title. Plate 336 x 406mm. 13¼ x 16".
Vortigern was the Saxon King of Britain in 5 AD. He forged an alliance with brothers, Hengist and Horsa, who were given lands in Lincolshire in return for help in suppressing the Picts. The alliance was further enforced when King Vortigern fell in love with Renwein (or Rowena), the beautiful daughter of Hengist who agreed to their marriage in exchange for the whole of Kent. The scene captured here is clearly the banquet scene depicting the meeting of Vortigern and Rowena. The helmeted brooding figure of Hengist is seen seated on the left. Sometime later, in an attempt to bring all of Britain under Saxon control Vortigern arranged a meeting with Hengist, then King of the Jutes. However, Hengist armed his men who then massacred some 500 Saxon noblemen in an attack which became known as ‘the night of the long knives'
