A Collection of all the Characters Simple and Compound with their Modifications Which appear in the Inscription on a Stone found among the Ruins of Ancient Babylon sent, in the yeat 1801, as a present to Sir Hugh Inglis Bar.t by Harford Jones Esq.r then the Honorable the East India Company's Resident at Bagdad; and now deposited in the Company's Library in Leadenhall Street, London.
Collected, Etched and Published June the 1st 1807 by Tho:s Fisher.
Etching, extremely rare. Sheet 405 x 320mm, 16 x 12½". Mounting tape at top edge.
A collection of Babylonian cuniform letters, one of the earliest known forms of written expression. Originally developed Sumer as pictographs, the script evolved, making the letters easier to scratch on clay tablets. In use for 35 centuries it became obsolete in Roman times, so the ability to read them disappeared also. The script was finally diciphered in 1857. The original stone was given by Sir Harford Jones-Brydges (1764-1847) to the chairman of the East India Company in 1801, Sir Hugh Inglis (1744-1820)

[Three warriors in mountains.]
[B. M. Fischer, c.1810.]
Pen lithograph, sheet 320 x 215mm (12½ x 8½"). 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.

Pub'd Jan.y 1, 1798, by J.W. Edy, No.2, Romney Row, Westminster.
Scarce aquatint, printed in colours and hand finished. Visible area 540 x 720mm (21¼ x 28¼"). Mount pasted over edges, laid on board, some toning.
A large aquatint view showing Durham Abbey rising above the trees on the banks of the River Wear. The rare view was aquatinted by John William Edy after George Bulteel Fisher (1764-1834) who, having studied under Paul Sandby at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich, continued to paint during his military career. As a young lieutenant he served as aide to Prince Edward Augustus (father of Queen Victoria), visiting Canada with him and publishing a rare series 'Six Views in North America' (also engraved by Edy) in 1795-6. The following year Fisher and Edy published six views of Gibraltar. The British Museum have both these sets but we have been unable to trace another example of this print of Durham.
