[Basle, Heinrich Petri, c.1550.]
Woodcut. Sheet 282 x 375mm (11 x 14¾"). Margin bottom left restored, tape stains in edges. Evidence of cracks in the woodblock.
Munster's famous upside-down map of Europe, although omitting most of Scandinavia, Scotland and half of Ireland. Despite the strange orientation (a German convention to align maps with the solar compass) it is the first map of the continent not based on Ptolemy. The map was first used in Munster's edition of Ptolemy's 'Geographia' in 1540 and also appeared in his 'Cosmographia'; the cracks in the woodblock first appeared in 1545. A new, similar block was used from 1571-2 until 1578, when a new map, copied from Ortelius, was introduced.

Satire on the jockeying for position of the European powers in the late 1730s, and in particular on the unwillingness of Walpole's government to go to war; this is the second of four "Heats" in the Race. A race-course on the sea-shore with a variety of animals and riders representing different countries: first comes France in the form of a fox ridden by Cardinal Fleury with a serpent for a belt indicating wisdom; he is pursued by Theodore of Corsica in full armour having remounted since the first Heat and now threatening Fleury with a sword and pistol; next comes Don Geraldino (Sir Thomas Fitzgerald, Spanish envoy to London) riding a bucking wolf, no longer led by France. The Turkish elephant has dropped its spectacles and overtaken the Russian bear; the pasha stands on the its back holding a flag with three tails; four Russian flags are stuck into the animal's hindquarters and it has a wooden leg replacing one lost in the war (allusions to the terrible losses sustained by Turkey in the course of victorious battles against Russia); the Russian bear's forepaw is carried in a sling. These wolf, elephant and bear are all branded with the fleur-de-lis. Austria follows in the form of a jockey riding an eagle, its clipped wings repaired with a fleur-de-lis and its heavy orb lying on the ground. A monkey is perched on the distance post as before, but no longer holds the fleur-de-lis. Next comes a Dutchman mounted on a boar its progress hampered by a fleur-de-lis chained to its leg. The race approaches the grandstand from which hangs the prize, now a laurel wreath; the flag is now the Union flag, lettered "Made in France of true English Wool"; a raven, bird of ill-omen perches on the cross-bar.

Portrait of William Evans, a City official caught up in a confrontation concerning Parliamentary Privilege. In 1839 John Joseph Stockdale (publisher and some-time blackmailer famed for being told 'Publish and be damned' by the Duke of Wellington) brought a libel case against Hansard, the printer of House of Commons business records, over a book Stockdale published, 'On Diseases of the Generative System', being branded obscene. Stockdale won, on the grounds that the House of Commons enjoyed no privilege as to publications under its authority circulated beyond Members of Parliament. The Queen's Bench court sent sheriffs William Evans and John Wheelton to Parliament to claim the damages but were imprisoned for Contempt of Parliament. However the situation was diffused by the 'Parliamentary Papers Act 1840' which made Parliamentary Privilege absolute and invalidated Stockdale's case.

Publish'd 10th June 1774.
Etching. Sheet 240 x 180mm (9½ x 7"). Trimmed inside platemark; glued to backing sheet.
Caricature of a man stood with his hands in his pockets and a whip under his arm. Etched after Henry Bunbury, an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton). BM Satire 4720; see Timothy Clayton, 'The English Print, 1688-1802', p.245.

"Chamomile flowers are recommended as a tonic in dropsical complaints for their diuretic and tonic properties, and are also combined with diaphoretics and other stimulants with advantage. Chamomile flowers are also extensively used by themselves, or combined with an equal quantity of crushed poppy-heads, as a poultice and fomentation for external swelling, inflammatory pain or congested neuralgia, and will relieve where other remedies have failed, proving invaluable for reducing swellings of the face caused through abscesses." [An egyptian recipe]. The chamomile or camomile medicine is to be added to hot water. Camomile is a common name for several daisy-like plants. These plants are best known for their ability to be made into a tea which is commonly used to help with sleep and is often served with either honey or lemon. Provenance: from a scrap album compiled c.1840 - 1880 by Alfred Towgood of Riverside, a paper mill owner at St. Neots, Huntingdon. He was also a Lieutenant in the Duke of Manchester's Light Horse.
