A rider standing in his stirrups holding two sabres. The print was described by the Sporting Magazine in January 1806: ''The subject of this beautiful Engraving is Mr. John Goldham, Field-Adjutant of the London Cavalry, going through the six divisions of the Austrian Broad-sword Exercise with a sabre in each hand, when riding at the rate of thirty miles an hour; which he performed for a bet of 200 guineas, before several military characters of the first eminence; and, to the great astonishment of the beholders, he made the cuts with admirable effect and precision, and won the bet with great ease. As a proof of his superior horsemanship, he went through one of the divisions while going over a five-barred gate, to the wonder and terror of all present. It is here but justice to notice, that, at the request of several noblemen and military officers who were present, a large painting has been taken by Dean Wolstenholme, who has succeeded in the manner of action and likeness of both man and horse so happily, that the best judges pronounce it - a picture of great merit''.

The Hammersmith Ghost. 4
Pub.d by R.S. Kirby, London Houe Yard & I. Scott, 447 Strand, Feb. 1 1804.
Engraving, sheet 220 x 140mm (8½ x 5½"). Trimmed to plate at bottom.
In 1803 the 'Hammersmith Ghost', apparently the spirit of a man who had committed suicide by cutting his own throat, was terrorising the area and one of his victims, a woman taking a shortcut through a graveyard, died of shock. In the ensuing furore a dust-covered bricklayer was shot dead by a customs officer (who was sentenced to death but was reprieved), before the real 'ghost' was captured. It was a man trying to frighten people in retaliation for someone having scared his children by telling them ghost stories.

[Thomas Earl of Arundel.] Illustris.us & Excellent.muss D.nus Dominus Thomas Howard, Comes Arundeliae & Surriae [...]
Ant. van Dyck Eques pinxit W Hollar fecit 1646.
Etching, sheet 260 x 195mm (10¼ x 7¾"). Trimmed to platemark and laid on album paper. Faint foxing along the lower margin. Damage to bottom right corner of image affecting the title area.
Thomas Howard, fourteenth earl of Arundel, fourth earl of Surrey, and first earl of Norfolk (1585-1646), art collector and politician. This print was first made for the 'Iconographiae', a collection of prints after van Dyck portraits, which was published in the Netherlands from 1630 onwards. Arundel almost certainly played a pivotal role in bringing van Dyck to England. British Museum cataloguing for the print claims that it is based on van Dyck's 'Madagascar portrait' of Arundel and his wife (Arundel Castle, West Sussex) which showed the earl sat next to a globe, pointing to Madagascar. The Arundels had devised a scheme to colonize the island and obtained a royal licence to move there, although the plan came to nothing, perhaps because of the earl of Arundel's deteriorating health. Despite obvious differences between the Madagascar portrait and this print, there is a strong resemblance. Etched by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England after meeting the earl of Arundel in Cologne in 1636. Hollar subsequently followed him to England, took up lodgings in Arundel House, married one of Lady Arundel's servants, and made prints of numerous works in the Arundel collection. This plate was etched in 1646 in Antwerp, where Hollar moved for several years, following the Arundels there. He also etched a portrait of Lady Arundel adapted from the Madagascar portrait, and a straightforward copy of the double portrait.
