The Victorian College for the Deaf was opened in 1860 and is Victoria's oldest deaf school. It was opening by the Deaf Englishman, Frederick J Rose, and was relocated to the building seen here on St Kilda Road in 1866, which was built by William Ireland. The deaf sign language used and taught by Frederick J Rose was primarily that of a London dialect of British Sign Language, which heavily influenced the development o Australian's own sign language, Auslan, and by 1891, the so-called "combined method" (manual and oral) was introduced. In 1913, the State Government took over complete responsibility of the education programs of the Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution.

The Victorian College for the Deaf was opened in 1860 and is Victoria's oldest deaf school. It was opening by the Deaf Englishman, Frederick J Rose, and was relocated to the building seen here on St Kilda Road in 1866, which was built by William Ireland. The deaf sign language used and taught by Frederick J Rose was primarily that of a London dialect of British Sign Language, which heavily influenced the development o Australian's own sign language, Auslan, and by 1891, the so-called "combined method" (manual and oral) was introduced. In 1913, the State Government took over complete responsibility of the education programs of the Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution.

Silas Deane Esq.r Commissioner from Congress in France.
B.B.E.
Pub.d May 15th 1783 by R. Wilkinson No. 58 Cornhill London.
Stipple and etching pt printed in colour, platemark 140 x 105mm (5½ x 4"). Thread margins on 3 sides.
Silas Deane (1737-89), revolutionary politician and diplomat in America. Born in Connecticut, Deane graduated from Yale in 1758 and rose rapidly in Connecticut politics. He was an active member of congress and in 1776-8 was in France to solicit arms and supplies and seek support for an independent United States, a mission which had mixed results. He was regarded with suspicion by Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee, and on a return trip to Europe in 1780, by which time Deane was disillusioned with the American cause, he called for the Americans to abandon the French and reach a reconciliation with Great Britian. From this point on most Americans regarded Deane as a traitor, and he never returned to the country, living in Ghent and London before dying on a ship en route to Canada in 1789. Mixed-media print after Pierre Eugène Du Simitière (1737-84), American painter of Swiss birth. Based in Philadelphia from 1770-84, Du Simitière arranged for 14 of his profile portraits to be sent to Paris for engraving in 1779, although pirated copies and the failure of many sets to return to him made the project unsuccessful.

Dear Albert, arter all there's nothing like the Valtz! I vonders if the Kiveen feels the same delightful sensations when she's Valtzing with her Albert, as I dos?
JLM [in image]
London, Pub.d by J L Marks Long Lane Smithfield. [n.d. c.1840]
Very rare finely hand-coloured lithograph, sheet 285 x 225mm (11¼ x 8¾"). Folds. Tears. What looks like make up, obscurring part of the lady's face.
Satire print from the Victorian era that parodies a plump, aristocratic German woman dancing with a grin-faced black man dressed shabbily; the man appears to be her servant. With the caption "Dear Albert, artist all, there's nothing like the Valtz!," the woman parodies her pretenses of comparing herself to Queen Victoria, whose husband was Prince Albert. I wonder if the Kiveen experiences the same delightful feelings as I do when she's kissing Albert. Although slavery had been outlawed across the British Empire by the time this print was probably created (after 1833) the way Albert is portrayed—his big smile, wide eyes, and innocent manner—is evocative of the racial stereotypes prevalent at the time.

London Published by T. M.cLean, 26, Haymarket. Aug.t 11 1829.
Lithograph, sheet 275 x 380mm (10¾ x 15") Tipped into album sheet.
George IV (1762-1830) and Lady Conyngham (1769-1861) weep unrestrainedly over the dead giraffe. The former, in back view, seated on a stool facing the corpse, places a hand on the shoulder of the latter, who sits on the floor with her face buried in a handkerchief. The animal lies on its back, its legs swathed in bandages and raised, the neck extended along the ground with the head on a cushion. Lord Eldon (1751-1838), seated with legs dangling and toes turned in, plays the bagpipe (tune, "Highland Laddie"), beside a large pill-box and a prescription signed 'Abe[rne]thy'. Behind, curtains mark the creature’s stall (at Sandpit Gate, Windsor Park), where two Nubians give way to grief. The giraffe was a diplomatic gift from Muhammad Ali, Viceroy of Egypt (1769–1849) to George IV in the summer of 1827. He sent a second giraffe to France’s Charles X and a third to the Austrian emperor, each traveling with two Egyptian milk cows, two keepers, several African animals, and a translator. George kept his in the private menagerie at Sandpit Gate in Windsor Park and he allegedly visited it every day with Lady Conyngham. Interestingly this print was published two months before the creature’s demise.
