U. Wernaers. 29. [etched in the plate.] [Pencil signature:] Urbain Wernaers. VI.
[1929.]
Etching. Plate 159 x 121mm. 6¼ x 4¾"
Urbain Wernaers (1888-1981), Dutch painter, etcher and lithographer of urban views and landscapes. George Goury (1877-1959) was one of the masters of prehistoric France. While very young he became a member of the Archaeological Society of Lorraine and was elected assistant librarian in 1897 and then as librarian in 1900. He participated in several excavations in Lorraine and beyond, which puts him in contact with many French and foreign researchers. He was an avid book collector whose collection of 'ex libris' was most important, not only from the 19th Century ex libris but also those he commissioned himself from some of the most fashionable artists of the early 1900's.

Painted by W.m Strutt. Etched by A.W. Strutt.
London, Published Nov.r 1st 1887 by I.P. Mendoza, St James's Gallery, King St, St James's _ Copyright registered.
Etching. 525 x 345mm (20¾ x 13½"), with very large margins.
One Jack Russell terrier puppy wins the race up three steps. William Strutt (1825-1915), son of William Thomas Strutt, travelled to Australia and tried his hand in the Ballarat gold fields. Failing to make his fortune he returned to painting. He travelled to New Zealand 1855-6, and recorded the preparations of the Burke and Wills exploration expedition in 1860-61. He left Australia in 1862, not wanting to bring his children up in such a godless society. Back in England he turned his sketches into full paintings: in 2015 his ''View of Mt Egmont from New Plymouth, with Maori driving off settlers' cattle'' was purchased by the Museum of New Zealand for NZ$1.5 million, becoming the only significant oil painting from the 1850s or 1860s in their collection. The engraver of this plate, Alfred William Strutt, was his son, born in Taranaki, New Zealand in 1856.

A broadside illustrating 205 coats of arms in a panel, plus the larger arms of the City of London and of John Barber, Lord Mayor of London 1732-3. The sheet celebrates the defeat of the 1733 Excise Bill, in which Robert Walpole's Whig government attempted to impose excise taxes on a variety of goods (including wine and tobacco) and give excise officers the right to search private dwellings to look for contraband. Despite being at his most powerful, Robert Walpole realised the bill was not going to pass and withdrew it. His reprisals against the rebels in his party led to a number of defections to the opposition.

Seven lithographic broadsides with letterpress, some numbered, , sheets c.550 x 435mm. Extremities tatty, with some tears into image, foxing.
Satirical takes on the issues surrounding the 1868 general election for the City of Exeter, Devon. They are presented in the form of scenes from famous Shakespeare plays adapted to incorporate political figures and campaigning issues of the day. All are from a locally-published 'Shakspere Illustrated' series. The Liberals John Coleridge and Edgar Alfred Bowring were returned for Exeter that year, as part of the general success of the Liberal Party led by William Gladstone, which increased its large majority over Benjamin Disraeli's Conservatives. The 1868 general election was the first after passage of the Reform Act of 1867, which enfranchised many male householders, thus greatly increasing the size of the electorate. It was the first election held in the United Kingdom in which more than a million votes were cast; nearly triple the number of votes were cast compared to the previous election. The Illustrated London News for its November 28th 1868 edition carried 'The General Election: The Nomination at Exeter, For the City'. Some sheets from this series missing.

Engraving, sheet 145 x 140mm (5¾ x 5½"). Trimmed inside platemark; slight staining.
Satire on connoisseurs. Tailpiece to an exhibition held by the 'Society of Artists' at Spring Gardens, Charing Cross, in 1761. This exhibition was organised as artists, including Hogarth, withdrew from exhibiting at a space lent by the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce on the Strand. Hogarth designed the frontispiece and tailpiece for the catalogue, which together predict increased royal patronage of the arts and the end patronage from connoisseurs. Royal patronage is represented as a plentiful reservoir in the frontispiece, while in this tailpiece a connoisseur dressed as a monkey, holding a magnifying glass, waters three withered and sapless sticks (all labelled with their dates of death, centuries ago) to show the poverty of patronage from connoisseurs. The labelling of the dead trees as 'exoticks' only emphasises the disillusionment of those connoisseurs.
