[George Alsop] This but the shade of him adorn'd in White...
W. Sherwin fecit.
[London: R. Reynolds, 1669.]
Rare engraving. Sheet 110 x 80mm (4¼ x 3¼"). Trimmed to image, notch in bottom edge.
Portrait of George Alsop, the frontispiece of his ''An Orthodox Plea for the Sanctuary of God, Common Service, and White Robe of the House''. This was a polemic in support of church worship. While he does not mention any nonconformist sects by name, he condemns 'wretches' who claim to have 'a quickening spirit within them that informs them of all things', apparently a reference to the Quaker 'inner light'. Alsop was ordained deacon by Henry King, Bishop of Chichester c.1666, then priest in 1669.

Mezzotint. 190 x 135mm (7½ x 5¼"), with margins, with slight 17th century watermark.
'Princess of Conti' was a noble title held by the wife of the Prince of Conti. Although this portrait is often said to be Marie Anne de Bourbon (1678-1718), Duchess of Vendôme, it is more likely to be her successor as princess, Marie Thérèse de Bourbon (1666-1732), who received the title on her marriage in 1688.

Tinted lithograph. Trimmed in oval, 225 x 190mm (8¾ x 7½"). Trimmed from larger sheet, slight spotting.
Beaumont Read (1833-1910), an American singer said to be the greatest male alto singer to appear on the Australian stage. Having been a member of ''Hague's Georgia Slave Troupe'' (when it included white performers), he came to Australia via South Africa in 1874. After a failed attempt to run a photographic business in Melbourne he became a huge star with ''Hiscocks' Federal Minstrals'' in the 1880s. Read retired in 1903 and moved to Adelaide where he taught singing. This portrait is probably from the cover of sheet music.

George Wilson (1766-1839), known as the 'Blackheath Pedestrian' for his attempt to walk a thousand miles around the heath in 20 days for a prize of £100. He failed because the authorities charged him with disturbing the peace because of the crowds that followed him. Although he was acquitted his arrest made the feat impossible, so he lost the prize, but a collection at the London Stock Exchange matched the £100 within two hours.
