Eleven engravings [of 30?]. Each 220 x 165mm, 8¾ x 10½". Edges folded over.
Engravings by van Schley, Picart and Tanjé after Charles Antoine Coypel. Coypel was commissioned to create designs for a set of tapestries relating the story of Don Quixote in 1720, with a contract for engraving them following in 1721. The engravings were very profitable, and this smaller set was published later, probably to illustrate an edition of Cervantes' picaresque novel.

The Don-Key Turn'd Mayor Or an Ass in the Chair.
[Anon., 1830.]
Lithograph, sheet 360 x 255mm. 14¼ x 10".
An ass with the head of Sir John Key (1794 – 1858), Lord Mayor of London, sits erect in an arm-chair, hind legs on a stool, forelegs extended towards a horse prancing towards him over a table. The horse represents Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter (1775 – 1851), a former Lord Mayor, and it looks at Key with startled eye and open mouth. The King and Duke of Wellington’s visit to Guildhall for the Lord Mayor’s Day dinner on 9th November was abandoned on Key’s advice; he feared riots and the Duke’s assassination. He and his colleagues were widely lampooned as a result. BM Satires: 16307. See ref: 31964

Doctor Adam Donald, Prophet of Bethelnie. Born Anno 1703. ob: Anno 1780. Engraved for The Bee.
J: W,,s [John Williams] ad viv: delint. 1772.
[n.d., 1791]
Rare copper engraving. 145 x 90mm (5¾ x 3½").
Quack doctor Adam Donald (1703-80). Born in Aberdeenshire with disabilities that prevented him from a life of manual labour, his mannerisms, charm, and apparent skills led to his calling as a spiritualist. Donald was called to consult on all matters related to health by the local citizens. A habit of lurking through churchyards ‘speaking’ with the dead fuelled his supernatural legitimacy, while owning several books in other languages (of which he could not speak) contributed to his scholarly image among the townspeople. Prescribing remedies ranging from milk baths to singing on chimneys, he could do no harm. If a death occurred it was the patient’s mistake for not following the ‘Prophet’s’ orders, never Donald’s. While Donald’s wife kept his secret during their marriage, his daughter exposed him as a quack and fraud following his death in 1780.

Ginevra Donati. She was an only child-her name Ginevra-The joy, the pride of an indulgent Father; And in her fifteenth year became a bride, Marrying and only son, Francesco Doria...Within that chest had she concealed herself, Fluttering with joy, the happiest of the happy, When a spring-look that lay in ambush there, Fastened her down for ever. Vide Roger's "Italy".
