[11 Topographical drawings and watercolours of North America, China and England]
[mostly unsigned by various hands but two signed 'Theodore Walter July 1868' and S.S. Walter Aug.t 1874']
11 drawings and watercolours, dimensions of each between 130 x 180mm (5 x 7") and 170 x 285mm (6¾ x 11¼"). Mostly glued to album sheets; some staining, wrinkling etc.
Interesting collection of late 19th century topographical and martime subjects including the Great Falls of the Passaic River (Paterson, New Jersey), a view of the Hudson river from Newburgh, the South Battery on Governor's Island in New York, Turnabout Island (Kiushan Tao) east of China, gold digging near Yantai in China, and Torre Abbey Sands near Torquay in England, along with ships including one sailing from New York to England. Signatures on some of the works suggest they may all have been by members of the Walter family.

[Christoph Friedrich von Ammon]
F. Bartolozzi R.A. fecit
London Published as the Act directs Nov.12 1791
Stipple printed in brown, sheet 180 x 130mm (5 x 7"). Trimmed to platemark. Rare.
Christoph Friedrich von Ammon (1877-1850), German theological writer and preacher. Engraved by Francesco Bartlozzi (1725-1815), Florentine engraver elected a founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768 (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This portrait was published after Bartolozzi had left England for the continent.

[Three banditti on horseback menacing a crouching figure.]
[Anon., c.1810.]
Pen lithograph, scarce; sheet 270 x 340mm (10½ x 13½"). Staining and mould to edges.
Dramatic early pen lithograph. The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing them to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography.

[The Mineral Water lunch of Count Cagliostro] Le Dejeune avec les Eau Minerale du Comte Cagliastro
[anon., c.1790]
Etching with large margins, platemark 140 x 180mm (5½ x 7"). Folds, rust spot lower right.
Satire on the infamous Count Alessandro di Cagliostro (1743-95), adventurer, freemason, charlatan, radical politician and occultist. Cagliostro sits at ease while numerous figures around him sleep or vomit. Cagliostro's life is shrouded in mystery but involved forging and swindling of various kinds (and alleged involvement in the 'Affair of the Diamond Necklace' in which Marie Antoinette was thought to have defrauded the crown jewellers of the cost of an expensive necklace). He travelled around Europe, including time spent in London, and died in prison in Rome after he had been sentenced to life for being a Freemason. The error-strewn French and style of this print suggests it may have been made in Italy. Since his death, Cagliostro has been of tremendous cultural interest. He has been the subject of literary works by Goethe and Tolstoy amongst others.

[Anon., c.1807]
Pen lithograph, sheet 215 x 305mm (8½ x 12"). Creasing, trimmed.
Early pen lithograph. The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing them to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography.
Ex: collection of the late H. C. Lennox-Boyd.

The Prophecy! or, Bonaparte Killed at Last by his Own Troops! A True Story, just brought from Paris [...] This Story is founded on a Dream of Bonaparte [...] The Dream is here given in Verse. [...]
[1803] Printed for J. Hatchard, 190, Piccadilly. 1d. each; 6d. per dozen; or, 3s. 6d. per 100. [Brettell, Printer]
Letterpress, sheet 425 x 315mm (16¼ x 12½"). Creasing on left.
Broadside published at the time when fears of an invasion of the British Isles by Napoleon were at their height. This ballad prophesises Napoleon's death in the wake of an unsuccessful invasion of Britain. As in other broadsides of the period, Napoleon's alleged killing of his own injured soldiers at Jaffa is invoked as evidence of his treachery. In the aftermath, the new rule of France is imagined: 'no more Consuls, Frenchmen shout,/ But King Louis make your Head. / With Moreau, Minister of State,/ Not made Ambition's Fool,/ But choosing a much safer Fate,/ Than over France to rule'. Victor Moreau was forced into exile in the United States by his opposition to Napoleon. The final verses defend Britain's monarchy (with a reference to the revolutionary, Thomas Paine) and the high taxes during the war as a temporary measure necessary to combat Napoleon. Published by John Hatchard (1768-1849), who founded the Piccadilly bookseller still thriving over two hundred years on.
For a contemporary portrait of Moreau, see ref. 28221.

Garden Island.
Woodthorpe sc.
Published March 5 1803 by M. Jones Paternoster Row.
Hand-coloured stipple, sheet 125 x 210mm (4¾ x 8¼"). Cut to plate at bottom.
Garden Island, an inner-city locality of Sydney since joined to the mainland, and used for government and naval purposes since the first days of British settlement. From 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples. As Tim McCormick shows, the views and text in the book were plagiarised from various sources. This engraving does not relate to any other known views but uit and the other views of the book 'are of interest because they illustrate how the already complex process of converting an original field drawing to a published book illustration can be still further extended by an illicit traffic in images'.

Town & Cove of Sydney.
Woodthorpe sc.
Published by M. Jones Paternoster Row March 18. 1803
Hand-coloured stipple, sheet 125 x 210mm (4¾ x 8¼"). Slight staining to edges. Cut to plate at bottom.
Early view of Sydney, from 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples. As Tim McCormick shows, the views and text in the book were plagiarised from various sources. This engraving does not relate to any other known views. McCormick states of this view that it appears to show the Clock Tower (completed 1797) and a view across Bennelong Point and the Cove.
