Sr. Francis Drake.
Goldar sculpt.
[London: J. Harrison] Publish'd as the Act directs Augt. 9, 1786.
Copper engraving, 285 x 190mm. 11¼ x 7½". Large chip to right margin.
Oval portrait of Sir Francis Drake (1540 - 1596), Admiral and circumnavigator. The most famous of all English seafarers, Drake earned his fame and fortune through his skilful seamanship and outstandingly successful piracy. His circumnavigation of the globe from 1577-81 involved a number of very profitable raids on Spanish ships and ports. Drake's increasingly frequent and serious attacks during the 1580s were an important factor contributing to Philips II's decision to launch the Armada against England in 1588. Drake served as vice-admiral of the English fleet which defeated the Armada. For the English translation of Rapin de Thoyras's 'History of England', John Harrison 1784-89.

Publié par Daziaro à Paris. [n.d. c.1860.]
Coloured lithograph with added gum arabic. 439 x 298mm (17¼ x 11¾"). Mint.
A rare foreign image of the game of cricket showing a batsman about to be hit by a cricket ball, by "Draner" Jules Renard (1833-1926). When Renard-Draner was settling in Paris in the mid-19th century, the armies and navies of the world, besides engaging in occasional short wars, were engaging themselves - and most vaingloriously and conspicuously indeed - in the art of display: reviews, parades, the exchange of visits by various branches and units, a mounting elaboration and variety in the design of uniforms and the social standing and activities of those of officer rank. All of these things caught and amused the eye and mind of Draner, and this was what he most happily and most successfully set out to caricature for the diversion and pleasure of all. The chief result of his observation and his artistry was the series of 136 full-colour lithographic plates of high quality published by the firm of Daziaro in Paris and handsomely printed by the renowned establishment of Lemercier. The series was entitled "Types Militaires: Galerie militaire de toutes les nations" Soldiers and sailors of all countries and all ranks are shown with strong humorous emphasis on ludicrous situations and national characteristics, but, it must be emphasised, always with the strictest accuracy in the depiction of uniforms and accoutrements down to the most minor details of button, braid, fringe or feather.

[Antwerp: Plantin, 1640.]
Engraving, 105 x 135mm (4¼ x 5¼"), set in text.
A young boy with a bow and quiver of arrows carries a native American wearing feathered headdress. Published in Jean Bollandus's 'Af-beeldinghe van d'eerste eeuwe der societeyt Jesu', a history of the Jesuits which contained emblems by Abraham van Diepenbeek (1596-1675), a follower of Rubens. In 1537 Francis Xavier had a recurring dream in which he that he was carrying an Indian on his back as penance. This led him to leave Rome in 1541 and undertake missionary work in India, Goa, Japan, and China, for which he was eventually made a saint. Despite this work being in Asia the 'Indian' is often portrayed as an American.
