Arlington House.
['IS' monogram in image upper right.]
[British, n.d., originally c.1680.]
Etching, image 70 x 180mm. 2¾ x 7". Laid on a scrap sheet.
View of Arlington House in Green Park, Westminster. Originally called Goring House, Arlington House was the residence of Henry Bennet, Earl of Arlington, a minister under Charles II. On the demolition of the house, in 1703, the site was purchased by John Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, who built on it a mansion of red brick which was eventually to become Buckingham Palace. Possibly this is a copy of a 17th century print.

[The Tomb of Edmund Waller, St Mary and All Saints Church, Beaconsfield.] To Harry Edmund Waller Esq. of Farmington in Gloucestershire, the Lineal Descendant of the Poet... E.& R. King.
From a Sketch by J. Smith. S. Straker, Litho., George Yard, London.
Published by E. & R. King, Beaconsfield, and E. King, Wycombe [n.d., c.1845].
Sepia-tinted lithograph, rare, image 270 x 250mm. 10½ x 9¾". One tear into image at right. Tatty margins folded.
Edmund Waller (1606-1687) was a poet and wit of wavering political allegiance. He died at Hall Barn, the house he had designed and owned in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.

He was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to a fine of £10,000 and exile in 1644; was pardoned by Cromwell's influence; praised Cromwell in verse, but later rejoiced in his death.

Hand-coloured aquatint with etching; wide margins, image 210 x 300mm. 8¼" x 11¾".
From 1783 to 1826, Carlton House, in St James's between Pall Mall and The Mall, served as the palatial London residence of the Prince of Wales. There, as Prince and later Prince Regent, George IV lived and entertained lavishly. The Prince decorated Carlton House sparing no expense. 'How sick one shall be, after this chaste palace, of Mr Adam's gingerbread and snippets of embroidery.' Thus wrote Horace Walpole to Lady Ossory in 1785 describing a visit. Carlton House was demolished in 1825 and replaced with two grand white stuccoed terraces of expensive houses known as Carlton House Terrace. The proceeds of the leases were put towards the cost of Buckingham Palace. From 'A Picturesque Tour Through the Cities of London and Westminster, illustrated With the most interesting Views, accurately delineated And executed in Aquatinta by Thomas Malton', 1792 - 1801. Thomas Malton (1748 - 1804) was an architectural watercolourist and teacher of Thomas Girtin and Joseph Mallord William Turner; also an aquatinter, notably after his own designs of London views.

An equestrian portrait of Charles I in armour, battle scene behind, an impression from the famous 'headless horseman' plate. The king has a distinct 'halo' from obvious re-engraving. Although the picture is attributed to van Dyck, the original oil (one copy now in Buckingham Palace, the other in Petworth House) depicted Charles I. The earliest known impression of this plate shows Cromwell, although even that example had been re-engraved. The next state is also Cromwell, followed by one headless, two of Louis XIV, a Cromwell, a Charles I and finally Cromwell again.

An equestrian portrait of Charles I in armour, battle scene behind, an impression from the famous 'headless horseman' plate. The king has a distinct 'halo' from obvious re-engraving. Although the original oil (attributed to van Dyck, with one copy now in Buckingham Palace, the other in Petworth House) depicted Charles I, the earliest known impression of this plate shows Cromwell, although even that example had been re-engraved. The next state is also Cromwell, followed by one headless, two of Louis XIV, a Cromwell, a Charles I and finally Cromwell again.

He later served as Secretary of State for War and the Colonies from 1801-4, as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in 1805 and 1812, Postmaster General 1806-7 and as President of the Board of Control from 1812 until his death in 1816. Because he gave Governor King instructions to found a settlement at Port Dalrymple, North Tasmania, the town was given the name Hobart. The plate was originally engraved by Joseph Grozer, but was reworked by Dunkarton when Hobart became earl.

He fought for the royalists in the civil wars and fled with the queen to France in 1644. Some years later, he was captured by some Barbary pirates and spent twenty-five years as a slave in North Africa before being ransomed back to England to live the rest of his life in poverty.

The Houses of Parliament and Lambeth Palace are lower left, St George's Circus and Bethlehem Hospital (now the Imperial War Museum) lower right. Other landmarks in the key are Buckingham Palace, Regents Park, St Paul's, Monument and London Bridge. We have assigned the date of 1865 because of the Hungerford Railway Bridge of John Hawkshaw which opened in 1864 and a cursory depiction of Joseph Bazalgette's Victoria Embankent, started 1865 and not finished until 1870. Little is known about the artist, Charles François de Riffardeau, Duc de Rivière (1848-1920). He produced a volume 'Vues de Londres dessinées d'après nature et lithographiées' in 1862 (not including this prospect). His father (with the same name) was French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, during which time he helped purchase the Venus de Milo for the Louvre.

Satire on the cost of John Nash's reconstruction of Buckingham House (now Palace) with perhaps the only contemporary printed likeness of the architect. Nash stands between the two wings of the house, confronted by John Bull who scrutinises a scroll on which the word 'Commission' is many times repeated. By this time more than double the original estimate had already been spent and an alteration to the wings had cost £50,000 (both issues alluded to in the speech between Nash and John Bull). Nash admitted that he had profited by exchanging his salary for a percentage commission on expenditure (hence the scroll). During 1829 a thousand men were toiling to finish the Palace by the King's birthday (August 12) in 1830, making the publication of this print particularly timely.

Very fine engraving. 495 x 361mm (19½ x 14¼"), large margins. Faint crease outside image.
Three-quarter length portrait of George Nugent-Temple-Grenville (1753-1813), 1st Marquess of Buckingham. As Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under Pitt, he was denounced by Grattan for extravagance and was censured by the Irish Houses of Parliament for refusing to transmit to England an address calling upon the Prince of Wales to assume the regency. He maintained his position by bribery for a time but resigned his office in September 1789. The engraver, John Keyes Sherwin (1751-1790), was a painter and engraver who succeeded Woollett as engraver to the king in 1785. Despite an income of more that £12,000 a year he died in penury in 1790 because, as the Encyclopedia Britannia describes him, he was "shiftless, indolent, and without method" and a reckless gambler. However the Encyclopedia also states that his portraits of Buckingham and Pitt (both after Gainsborough) "occupy a high place among the productions of the English school of line-engravers".

[London] Printed by W. Griffin, Printer to the Royal Academy [also Davies, Dodsley, Wilson, Nicoll, Walter and Elmsley]. 1772.
Engraved illustrated titlepage to the first (4to) edition, with large margins, rare. 230 x 170mm, 9 x 6¾".
According to Colvin, the book was “primarily an attack on the bare style of landscape gardening associated with Capability Brown, and the oriental dress was merely a literary camouflage. To Chamber’s embarrassment his supposed championship of the Chinese garden as a model for imitation was taken seriously by the public, obliging him in 1773 to publish a second edition with an “Explanatory Discourse.’ Scottish architect Sir William Chambers (1723-1796) was responsible for many of Kew Gardens' temples, Carlton House, the north and south wings of Buckingham Palace, Richmond Palace, Sir Joshua Reynolds house, internal decorations of St James's Palace, Somerset House and many others. He was appointed tutor in architecture to the future George III. The classical design in an oval after Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727 - 1785) shows a spirit with butterfly wings decorating a statue with flower garlands; on the right, a woman seated on a chair, and on the left, three naked putti, one drawing.

This print appeared in the first published portfolio of drawings made by artists specifically for multiplication by lithography. Entitled 'Specimens of Polyautography', the collection was brought out by Philippe André in London in 1803 and consisted solely of pen lithographs. Contributors included Thomas Stothard R.A. and Richard Corbould. Six parts of six prints were planned but in the event only two parts appeared. The portfolio was re-issued in 1806 by G J Vollweiler, with additions. William Henry Pyne (1769-1843) was an English writer, painter and illustrator, who first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1790. He specialized in picturesque settings including groups of people rendered in pen, ink and watercolour. Pyne was one of the founders of Royal Watercolour Society in 1804.
