Coloured lithograph, sheet 380 x 280mm. Light foxing to margins, some spotting to image.
Illustrations to Jullien's Bal Masque quadrille, by Alfred Henry Forrester, best known under the name of Alfred Crowquill (1804 - 1872). Louis Antoine Jullien (1812 -1860) conducted a series of winter season promenade concerts at the Covent Garden Theatre, which were highly successful; and on March 4th, 1844, the first bal-masqué given in England in the 19th century took place at Covent Garden under his auspices. In 1822 Forrester wrote for the Hive and in 1823 for the Mirror. He next applied himself to the study of drawing and modelling, as well as to wood and steel engraving. He was also the writer of burlesques, drew pantomimic extravaganzas for the pictorial papers, and exhibited pen-and-ink sketches in the miniature room of the Royal Academy in 1845 and 1846. For a time he contributed sketches to ‘Punch,' where his work will be found in vols. ii. iii. and iv., and then went over to the ‘Illustrated London News' as a member of the literary and pictorial staff. As a writer and illustrator of his own writings he was very popular; upwards of twenty works came from his pen, many of them being children's books. For some years the London pantomimes were indebted to him for designs, devices, and effects. In 1851 he modelled a statuette of the Duke of Wellington, which he produced a fortnight before the duke's death and presented to Queen Victoria and the allied sovereigns. At the time when he originally started as an artist there was not much competition, and he consequently found constant work. His works have enjoyed a considerable amount of popularity.

The Royal Military College began in 1800 as a school for staff officers which later became the Staff College, Camberley. A Junior Department was formed in 1802, to train gentlemen cadets as officers of the Line. A new college was built at Sandhurst, into which the cadets moved in 1812. After 1860, the RMC succeeded the East India Company's Military Seminary as the establishment where most officers of the Indian Army were trained. Following the abolition of the purchase system in 1870, attendance at Sandhurst became to usual route to a commission. The College was enlarged in 1912, when New College was built.

[Thirty etchings by William Delamotte]
Book, 4to (340 x 250mm, 13½ x 9¾). Green morocco, with gilt border decoration and gilt stamped banded spine inscribed 'Etchings by Delamotte'. Gilt stamped cover inscribed 'Royal Military College / Presented for Attention to, and Progress In, Landscape Drawing' with royal coat of arms on front and back cover. Ms. inside cover identifying Gentleman Cadet Thomas H. Lovett as recipient, November 1834. Etchings printed c.1834 (first published 1816-7).
Two sets of topographical etchings in the vicinity of Sandhurst, Berkshire (of twenty and ten plates respectively) by William Delamotte (1775-1863), landscape artist. From 1812 Delamotte was a drawing master at the Royal Military College in Sandhurst. He was still teaching there in 1834, when this volume was presented to a cadet for his achievements in landscape drawing, so it is likely that Delamotte was personally involved with the production and presentation of the volume. Influenced by Girtin's watercolour style, Delamotte was one of a group of landscape artists also including Constable and Turner, who took to making oil sketches in the open. Previously Delamotte had spent four years living in Oxford, also as a drawing master, and several of Delamotte's earlier prints show views in and around Oxford.
