![[The Decameron] Sigismunda.](jpegs/36639.jpg)
[The Decameron] Sigismunda. The original Picture in Oil by the late Mr. W.m Hogarth, and the Drawing from which this Print is made of the same size are both in the Collection of Mr. Sam.l Ireland, of Norfolk Street, who purchased them of Mrs. Hogarth in 1781. The Drawing was made by Mr. Edw.d Edwards, Associate of the Royal Academy & finsihed in April 1764 under the inspection of Mr. Hogarth, from whose pencil it received its last finishing touches about six months before his death. From this Drawing Mr. Basire the Engravr, began a Print but the death of Mr. Hogarth prevented its being finished.
Hogarth Pinx.t. Dunkarton Sculp.t.
London, Published Feb 1st 1793, by T.B. Freeman & Co. Strand, & Sold by Dickenson, New Bond Street, & Walker, Cornhill.
Mezzotint. 395 x 375mm (15½ x 14¾"), with wide margins.
An illustration of a dramatic scene from Giovanni Boccaccio's celebrated medieval novel, 'The Decameron'. The heroine, Sigismunda, holds a goblet sent to her by her father, Prince Tancred. Inside, is the heart of her dead husband, Giuscardo, one of Tancred's servants. He has murdered him, enraged by their unsuitable secret marriage. This was Hogarth's most deliberate attempt to prove that modern English painters could handle heroic themes as convincingly as the revered Italian old masters. But the picture received such harsh criticism that he almost completely abandoned painting for the last years of his life. For an open letter proof impression, see item ref: 36640.

A Decent Story.
[Drawn and etched by James Gillray.]
Pub.d Nov.r 9th 1795, by H. Humphrey No 37, New Bond Street.
Coloured etching. Sheet 220 x 295mm (8¾ x 11½"). Trimmed to plate, tear in top edge.
Five people sit around a table drinking port, a raconteur holding forth. Hannah Humphrey (second right, with distinctive chin) and a parson listen with smiles, although an officer is more interested in the woman at the other end of the table. Although the British Museum describes this print as being 'From a sketch by an amateur', it is likely to be by Gillray, who lived with Hannah Humphrey for many years. This and 'Two-penny Whist' (1796) are intimate scenes of their domestic arrangements: both prints are visible in the Humprey shop window in Gillray's 'Very Slippy-Weather' (1808), alongside Gillray's more famous prints, suggesting a sentimental importance.

Tiberius Decianus T-C.
Esme de Boulonois fecit.
[n.d. c.1682.]
Engraving. Plate 185 x 133mm. 7¼ x 5¼".
Published in Isaac Bullart's 'Académie des Sciences et des Arts'. Tiberio Decianus (1509-1582) was an Italian jurist in the tradition of Renaissance humanism. Born in Udine, he studied liberal arts and then law in Padua. He practiced law in Udine and soon became a member of the city council; however in 1544 he moved his practice to Venice and three years later began to teach law at Padua.

Born in Udine, he studied liberal arts and then law in Padua. He practiced law in Udine and soon became a member of the city council; however in 1544 he moved his practice to Venice and three years later began to teach law at Padua. His most pioneering work was in criminal law, and his posthumous publication of 'Tractatus criminalis', was the first to discuss general principles of criminal law.

From the Original taken on board H.M.S. St. Jean D'Acre by O.W. Brierly, Esq. T.G. Dutton, Lith. Day & Son. Lith.rs to the Queen.
London, Published Sep.r 20 1854, by Ackermann & Co. 96 Strand, by Appointment, to H.M. the Queen, H.R.H. Prince Albert, H.R.H. The Duchess of Kent, &c.&c.&c.
Lithograph. 419 x 903mm.16½ 35½".
Admiral Sir Charles John Napier (1786-1860) was a Scottish naval officer whose sixty years in the Royal Navy included service in the Napoleonic Wars, Syrian War and the Crimean War. At the outbreak of the Crimean War, Napier received command of the largest fleet with the Royal Navy had assembled since the Napoleonic Wars, and it was sent to act in the Baltic Sea. It was in 1854, aboard HMS Duke of Wellington that Napied hoisted his flag, joined by Rear-Admirals Armar Lowry Corry, Henry Ducie and James Hanway Plumridge. Despite the lack of men and particularly experienced seamen, Napier, augmented by the French fleet sent by Napoleon III, managed to overawe the Russian Baltic fleet, so much so that they did not leave their moorings.
