The Battle of the Gwanga, Cape of Good Hope_June 8.th 1846. In which the Royal Artillery,_ the 7.th Dragoon Guards, and the Cape Mounted Rifles, under the Command of Major General H.y Somerset, C.B. defeated a large body of Kaffirs, leaving between 5 and 600 dead on the field. __The number of Kaffirs in the field was estimated at 9000. To His Excellency the Governor Lieut. Gen.l Sir Peregrine Maitland, K.C.B. this Place is respectfully Inscribed by his obliged & obed.t Servant, Rudolph Ackermann, 191, Regent St.t

London: Published Sept.r 1.st 1852, by Rudolph Ackerman, at His Eclipse Sporting and Military Gallery, 191, Regent Street.
Coloured aquatint with large margins, laid on board. Plate 534 x 685mm. 21 x 27".
Associated with the seventh of the nine Cape Frontier Wars (1846-1847), known as the 'war of the axe'. Like the six previous wars, it was between the Xhosa people and European settlers. The Xhosa forces were far greater than those of the imperial British troops, and by this time they had replaced their traditional weapons with modern firearms. It was their new use of guns that made the Xhosa considerably more effective in fighting the British. On 28 May, a force of 8,000 Xhosa attacked the last remaining British garrison, at Fort Peddie, but fell back after a long shootout with British and Fengu troops. The Xhosa army then marched on Grahamstown itself, but was held up when a sizeable army of Ndlambe Xhosa were defeated on 7 June 1846 by General Somerset on the Gwangu, a few miles from Fort Peddie. One of a set of five colour plates by Harris after Martins - 'Kaffir Wars'.

Grand Celebration ob de Bobalition ob African Slabery. Life in Philadelphia No. 11
Drawn & Eng.d by J. Harris
T.C. Lewis & Co. 96 Cheapside London [c1850]
Borders dusty.
The 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population were first published by Edward William Clay in the United States in the 1820s. Shortly after the London publisher W. Harrison Isaacs published a set of copies mostly drawn by William Summers and engraved by Charles Hunt, augmenting them with new caricatures in the same vein but set in London. Isaacs' plates subsequently passed to Gabriel Shire Tregear, and then to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this impression. Hickman notes that Lewis's reissue of Tregear's set of 20 'Life in Philadelphia' prints is dated to 1860 by the Library Company of Philadelphia, but suggests 'it was probably earlier'. This is the only print in Tregear's/Lewis's set which was not engraved by Charles Hunt. It clearly relates to the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833.

An amateur etching of SS Great Britain, surrounded by vignette details. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, she was the largest passenger ship in the world when she was completed in 1845, but here she is shown being used as a warehouse, quarantine ship and coal hulk in the Falkland Islands. Scuttled in 1937, she was brought back to England in 1970 and restored. Dr. Leonard Harrison Matthews (1901-86) drew this sketch when he was a zoologist with the 'Discovery Investigations' (1924-9) in the Falklands and South Georgia, studying the biology of whales and southern elephant seals. In 1931 he published a paper, 'South Georgia, the Empire's Sub-Antarctic Outpost'; over fifty years later his last publication was 'Mammals in the British Isles' (1982).

Royal Horse Guards_Blue. R. Ackermann's Chobham Scenes. Plate 11.
Hy. Martens delt. ['HM' monogram in image.] J. Harris, sculpt.
London, Published Jany. 1-1854, by Rudolph Ackermann, at his Eclipse Sporting & Military Gallery, 191, Regent St.
The Royal Horse Guards (RHG) was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, part of the Household Cavalry. Founded August 1650 in Newcastle Upon Tyne by Sir Arthur Haselrig on the orders of Oliver Cromwell as the Regiment of Cuirassiers, the regiment became the Earl of Oxford's Regiment during the reign of King Charles II. As the regiment's uniform was blue in colour at the time, it was nicknamed "the Oxford Blues", from which was derived the nickname the "Blues." In 1750 the regiment became the Royal Horse Guards Blue and eventually, in 1877, the Royal Horse Guards (The Blues). The RHG was amalgamated with the Royal Dragoons (1st Dragoons) to form the Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons) in 1969.

Portrait of Makataimeshekiakiak or Black (Sparrow) Hawk (1767-1838), whose Sauk tribesmen fought for the British in the War of 1812, earning themselves the nickname the 'British Band'. In 1832 the British Band crossed the Mississippi into Illinois, attempting to resettle land ceded in 1804 to the United States in a disputed treaty. It was the US that started hostilities, when poorly-trained militia opened fire on a delegation from the Sauk, after which the tribe attacked forts and settlements before being defeated at the Battles of Wisconsin Heights & Bad Axe. Most of the Sauk were killed, but Black Hawk was captured and imprisoned. The 'Black Hawk War' is best known for Abraham Lincoln's brief military experience and as the impetus for the 'Indian Removal' policy.
