The Transport ''Denton Grange'' on the rocks at Las Palmas. March 1900.
AHT. 1900. [Astley Herbert Terry.]
Signed watercolour. Sheet: 175 x 250mm (7 x 9¾''). Mounted on board.
"Denton Grange" ran aground before Christmas 1899. A watercolour by Lieutenant Astley Herbert Terry (1866 - after 1937). The son of Major General Astley Fellows Terry, the artist served with both the Army Service Corps and the 60th Rifles. His posting to Sierra Leone coincides with the Second Boer War, so his duties would have been to provide for the troops en route to South Africa. He was promoted to major at the time of his departure, which was probably to the Cape: a 'Major Terry' of the 60th Rifles is recorded as participating in the war. In the 1911 census Terry was recorded as living in Kensington. In 1937 Colonel Astley Herbert Terry was installed as Commander of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, which is the last reference to him we can trace.

Elizabeth Canning convicted of Perjury. May ye 7th 1754. Price 3 pence.
[n.d. c.1754.]
Engraving. Sheet 175 x 120mm (6¾ x 4¾"). Trimmed. Vertical crease.
Elizabeth Canning (1734-73), an 18-year-old London maidservant, claimed to have been kidnapped on New Year's Day and held for a month in a brothel in Enfield. She accused `Mother Wells', the madam of the establishment, of trying to force her to become a prostitute. A hideous gypsy crone staying in the house, Mary Squires, cut off the girl's stays (worth 10 shillings), and Elizabeth was imprisoned in an attic with only a few crusts of bread and a jug of water to live on. On January 29th she escaped through a window and walked all the way back to her mother's house in the City. Squires and Wells were apprehended, and tried at the Old Bailey; the former was condemned to be hanged, and the latter was burned in the hand and imprisoned. However opinion turned against Canning and new evidence led her to be charged with perjury and transported for seven years.

Etching, sheet 190 x 150mm (7½ x 6"). Trimmed on platemark; good impression on laid paper.
Elizabeth Canning (1734-1773) in the witness box, portrayed here by Thomas Worlidge, the 'English Rembrandt'. Canning was a London scullerymaid whose alleged kidnapping caused a sensation in 1753. She disappeared for a month before returning to her mother's home. Susannah Wells and Mary Squires, Canning's alleged captors, were tried and found guilty. However, Crisp Gascoyne, trial judge and Lord Mayor of London, was unhappy with the verdict and began his own investigation which led to information proving Squires and her family to be innocent. Several of the prosecution witnesses recanted their earlier testimonies and Canning was tried and found guilty of perjury. She was sentenced to one month's imprisonment and seven years of transportation. First state before the number '70' added on the right side.

TW [Thomas Worlidge] 1754.
Etching. Plate: 190 x 150mm (7½ x 6''). Damage in top left corner.
Elizabeth Canning (1734-1773) in the witness box, portrayed here by Thomas Worlidge, the 'English Rembrandt'. Canning was a London scullerymaid whose alleged kidnapping caused a sensation in 1753. She disappeared for a month before returning to her mother's home. Susannah Wells and Mary Squires, Canning's alleged captors, were tried and found guilty. However, Crisp Gascoyne, trial judge and Lord Mayor of London, was unhappy with the verdict and began his own investigation which led to information proving Squires and her family to be innocent. Several of the prosecution witnesses recanted their earlier testimonies and Canning was tried and found guilty of perjury. She was sentenced to one month's imprisonment and seven years of transportation.

The Canterbury Pilgrims.
Painted by Thomas Stothard Esq.r R.A. Etched by Lewis Schiavonetti, V.A. and Finished by James Heath A.R.A. Historical Engraver to His Majesty, and to H.R.H. the Prince Regent, &c.
London: Published for the Proprietors by R. Cribb, N.º 288 Holborn, October 1, 1817.
Etching, state before key. 360 x 995mm (14¼ x 39¼"). Some restoration.
A procession of the pilgrims immortalised by Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales', on horseback, led by a piper, based on the painting on oak by Thomas Stothard (1806-7, now in the Tate Gallery, N01163). Robert Cromek commissioned the painting, putting it on show at a shilling per visitor. He also asked Italian stipple engraver Luigi Schiavonetti (1765-1810) to make a plate, but Schiavonetti only completed the outline etching. As a tribute to the engraver, Cromek published the incomplete print in 1810. The incomplete plate was then given to Francis Engleheart to complete, but Cromek’s death in 1812 stalled the project. Cromek’s widow, Elizabeth, gave the plate to Niccolo Schiavonetti, Louis's younger brother, but he too died. The plate was finally completed by James Heath and was published for Elizabeth, on 1st October 1817. A later state, with a full key identifying each pilgrim, was printed by W.H. Worthington, also for Elizabeth. The print also caused a rift between Stothard and his friend William Blake: Blake claimed that Cromek had commissioned a painting of the Canterbury Pilgrims from him first, but Cromek had not liked the design and so took the commission to Stothard. Blake accused Cromek and, through him, Stothard, of copying his long, frieze-like composition
