[From 'Les Pomoteurs De L'Entente Cordiale. Album Comprenant Cinquante portraits Dessines Specialement par Noel Dorville] Edward VII, born November 9, 1841, was the eldest son of Queen Victoria. He took the family name of his father, Prince Consort Albert, hence the change in lineage, although he was still Hanoverian on his mother's side. He married Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863, who bore him three sons and three daughters. Edward died on May 6, 1910, after a series of heart attacks.

Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and the future Edward VII (1841 - 1910), King from 22 January 1901 until his death on 6 May 1910. The third Paris World's Fair, called the Exposition Universelle, was held from May 1 though to November 10, 1878. It celebrated the recovery of France after the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. This exposition was on a far larger scale than any previously held anywhere in the world. It covered over 66 acres (267,000 m²); the main building in the Champ de Mars occupying 54 acres (219,000 m²). The United Kingdom, British India, Canada, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Cape Colony and other British crown colonies occupied nearly one-third of the space set aside for nations outside France. The UK display was under the control of a royal commission, the Prince of Wales here represented as president, no doubt one of a series of portraits of emissaries from different nations commissioned for the exposition. By Charles Waltner (1846 - 1925), a leading French reproductive etcher who had prints published under the auspices of the Printsellers' Association, London.

Portrait of Jonathan Edwards (1703 - 1758), American revivalist preacher, philosopher, and Congregationalist theologian. Edwards is widely regarded as one of America's most important and original philosophical theologians. Edwards' theological work is broad in scope but rooted in the paedobaptist (baptism of infants) Puritan heritage as exemplified in the Westminster and Savoy Confessions of Faith. Recent studies have emphasized how thoroughly Edwards grounded his life's work on conceptions of beauty, harmony, and ethical aptness, and how central the Age of Enlightenment was to his mindset. Edwards played a critical role in shaping the First Great Awakening and oversaw some of the first revivals in 1733-35 at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. His work gave rise to a doctrine known as New England theology. Edwards delivered the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", a classic of early American literature, during another revival in 1741, following George Whitefield's tour of the Thirteen Colonies. Edwards is well known for his many books, such as The End for Which God Created the World and The Life of David Brainerd, which inspired thousands of missionaries throughout the 19th century, and Religious Affections which many Calvinist Evangelicals still read today. Edwards died from a smallpox inoculation shortly after beginning the presidency at the College of New Jersey in Princeton.

Mezzotint with small margins, platemark 360 x 260mm (14¼ x 10¼"). Paper tone; good impression; collector's stamp of Bernard Houthakker verso. Slightly foxed.
Character study after a painting from the 1770s by Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792). When the painting was auctioned in 1796 it was identified as Edwin, the hero from 'The Minstrel', a poem published in 1771 by Reynolds' friend James Beattie. The poem describes the childhood of Edwin, a shepherd boy brought up in solitary, mountainous country, and his response to nature. William Wordsworth was among the many who admired the work. This impression formerly in the collection of Bernard Houthakker, 1884-1963), Amsterdam-based dealer and publisher. A particular focus of Houthakker's buying was the work of Charles Howard Hodges (1764-1837), a British portrait painter and engraver who moved to the Netherlands in 1792. Reynolds' painting was recently sold by Christie's (3 December 2013). Ex Collection of the Late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd; Hamilton p.147 (only state); L.1272.

Francis Henry Egerton. Earl of Bridgewater.
Gerard pinxt. =h= Grevedon. 1825.
Lithograph. 541 x 356mm. Uncut sheet..
Francis Henry Egerton, 8th Earl of Bridgewater (1756-1829), was a noted British eccentric, and supporter of natural theology. Egerton was known for giving dinner parties for dogs, where the dogs were dressed in the finest fashions of the day, down to fancy miniature shoes. Each day Egerton wore a new pair of shoes and he arranged the worn shoes into rows, so that he could measure the passing time. An animal lover, Egerton kept partridges and pigeons with clipped wings in his garden, allowing him to shoot them despite failing eyesight. Egerton never married, and upon his death, his title became extinct. He bequeathed to the British Museum the valuable Egerton Manuscripts, consisting of 67 manuscripts dealing with the literature of France and Italy.
