[Repton's design for a dining room for the Royal Pavilion.]

Aquatint, printed in sepia. 185 x 260mm (7¼ x 10¼"), set in letterpress, watermarked 'Turkey Mill 1824'?, very large margins. Scuff mark on right of plate.
Humphry Repton's design for a dining room at the Royal Pavilion, Brighton which, despite having the same Mughal influences, was never implemented. Despite being primarily a landscape designer, Repton (1752-1818) was hired to remodel the Pavilion by the Prince Regent in 1805. The Prince's money problems caused the project to be shelved, but John Nash made use of Repton's proposals when he finally redeveloped the building from 1814.

Second Edition with Improvements.
London. Printed for John Cary, Engraver, Map & Printseller, Strand. 1st Jan.y 1791. [&] London: Printed for John Cary, No. 181 Strand, 1802 [-3].
Two works in one; 8vo (180 x 120mm, 7 x 4¾"), original full diced calf travelling case with empty pockets front and back. 'Companion': engr. title, pp. (iv)+(6)+(2)(ads); index map, 42 maps printed back to back, 1 folding map. 'Itinerary': engr. title & dedication; pp. (iv)+(1)(ad)+868+(2)(ads). All maps with original hand colour. With the bookplate of Henry Pakenham-Mahon of Strokeston Park. Binding with tear to flap, some wear and fading. Folding map of Yorkshire with tear on fold; two folding maps of 'Itinerary' both trimmed to allow opening of segments, one segment loose, with tears on folds.
An unusual travelling edition of two works by John Cary. The 'Traveller's Companion' has a map of England and Wales, 41 counties and maps of North & South Wales. The 'Itinerary' has two road maps of England & Wales, with extensive indexes of the roads. The adverts list some of Cary's maps, with one page dedicated to his globes. The empty pockets in the covers would most likely contain larger folding maps not called for in either the 'Companion' or 'Itinerary'. Henry Pakenham-Mahon (1851-1922) was an amateur photographer: in 2012, a collection of 324 of his glass plates was uncovered at Strokestown Park including several explicit images of live models. Strokestown (in County Roscommon, Ireland) is now home to the National Irish Famine Museum. Henry's grandfather was Denis Mahon, whose responce to a rent strike by his tenants at Strokestown was to evict them and force them to sail to Quebec in 1847, filling four ships. When news came back to Ireland that nearly half the passengers had died on route (primarily from cholera) Mahon was ambushed and shot dead, to general celebration.

Garden plan from Henry Hulsbergh's "Vitruvius Brittanicus" series. Goodwood House, West Sussex. The 1st Duke of Richmond, a natural son of Charles II, first rented and then, in 1697, bought the house and park so that he could hunt in the neighbouring village of Charlton, where one of the earliest and most fashionable hunts in the country was based. The 2nd Duke enlarged and modified the existing house using the architect Roger Morris, who was also responsible for the charming banqueting house, Carné's Seat, situated in a commanding position on the hill overlooking Goodwood and its park. The 2nd Duke was very interested in trees, planting up not only High Wood, but also other areas around the house. Some of these trees still survive, including the cork oak trees and cedars of Lebanon.

A scene from the aftermath of the Bristol Riots of 1831, after the House of Lords rejected the second Reform Bill, which aimed to get rid of some of the rotten boroughs and give Britain's fast growing industrial towns such as Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford and Leeds greater representation in the House of Commons. The rioters numbered about 500 or 600 young men and continued for three days, during which the palace of Robert Gray the Bishop of Bristol, the Mansion House, and private homes and property were looted and destroyed, along with demolition of much of the gaol. About 100 people involved were tried in January 1832 and four men were hanged despite a petition of 10,000 Bristolian signatures, which was given to King William IV. See also reference 15397.
