H.B. [Henry Butler] pinxit 1838.
[London: Ackermann & Co., 1841.]
Two lithographs on one sheet, one hand coloured. Sheet 330 x 220mm (13 x 8¾"). Top left corner rebuilt, outside image.
Two scenes from Captain Henry Butler's "South African Sketches". Above is a coloured and more detailed centre scene of three Europeans trapping a leopard [?] in a rocky outcrop; below is a native rider about to throw a spear at a quagga (a now extinct zebra subspecies). Butler, a graduate of Trinity College Dublin, was posted to South Africa with the 27th or Inniskilling Regiment of Foot. In 1837 and 1838 he travelled to the hunting grounds of the Bontebok Flats (between the Klipplaats and Windvogel Rivers in Eastern Cape Province, about eighty miles north of King William's Town). He returned to England in 1839 and in 1841, the year of publication, he transferred to the 59th Regiment, promoted to Captain. His book appears to have been a vanity publication, accounting for its rarity, containing only the lithographed title, 15 plates and 15 pages of text. His only other publication was an article in the New Monthly Magazine.

''A Deep Dream of Peace''. (Leigh Hunt.)
Frank Paton. [signed in pencil].
[London: E.C. Leggatt, c.1880.]
Etching, signed by the artist. 200 x 265mm (8 x 10½").
A pair of terrier puppies asleep on a carpet with a ripped-up map of South Africa. The scene is surrounded by satirical vignettes of soldiers in South Africa, returning from war and indulging in sports, including polo, shooting, hunting, racing and coaching. A Victoria Cross is also illustrated. Frank Paton (1856-1909) was a successful artist during his lifetime and could even count Queen Victoria as an admirer of his work. He is perhaps most widely known for his series of etched Christmas cards published annually by Edward Ernest Leggatt from 1880 until Paton's death in 1909. They were intended to be a cut above the average Christmas card and sold for half a guinea each. A number of the prints would be sent from the printers to be signed in pencil by Paton. Between 1880-85 the cards did not have a specific title
