The City of Panama [titled in pencil lower right].
JPennell [signed in pencil.]
[Philadelphia and London: J.B. Lippincott Co., 1912.]
Large lithograph from an edition limited to 50, scarce, sheet 655 x 525mm. 25¾ x 20¾". Foxing; laid on card.
View down onto the buildings of the old town of Panama City, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Panama, the southernmost country of Central America. It is located at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. The view is from the Tivoli Hotel, Ancon, the veranda to the right. Captioned in reverse in plate. From ‘Joseph Pennell's pictures of the Panama Canal', the artist's most famous lithographic series. In January of 1912, Pennell went to the Isthmus of Panama to draw the work on the canal for Century Magazine and London Illustrated News. There were 28 large lithographs in the series, issued in an edition of 50. Joseph Pennell (1857 - 1926) was a painter, illustrator and etcher, born in Pennsylvania, USA, the son of Philadelphia Quaker parents. He was a pupil in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts between 1878-80, and his unusual ability in etching was early recognized by his instructor, James L. Claghorn.

[Panama] Marche des Indiens lors qu'ils vont rendre visite à quelcum, ou qu'ils vont à un Festin. P.220,
[after Lionel Wafer.]
[Amsterdam: Paul Marret, 1711.]
Engraving. 150 x 285mm (6 x 11¼"). Original binding folds.
Portraits of the Cuna king Lacenta, his wife and children, with his bodyguard, after Lionel Wafer (1640-1705), published in part of a French edition of Dampier's account of his voyages to Australia. Wafer, a Welsh ship's surgeon who served on buccaneer and privateer ships, was injured by a gunpowder blast while with Dampier near Cartagena in 1680. Left with the Cuna Indians on the Darien Isthmus to recover, he integrated with the tribe so much that when his crewmates returned they did not recognise him. In 1695 he published 'A New Voyage and Description of the Isthmus of America', which contained much about Cuna culture and the natural history of Panama. His glowing account influenced the infamous 1698 Darien Scheme that nearly bankrupted Scotland: the 'Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies' hired him as an advisor and quoted his account in their promotional literature.

St. Vetus's Dance or the Panegyrist and the Patron or a Sley Push for Power. Who aspires, must down as low" As high as soar'd; obnoxious first or last", To basest things.
Veni Vidi fec.t [Charles Williams.]
Pub.d Feb.y 1813 by S.W. Fores No.50 Piccadilly corner of Sackville St.
Hand-coloured etching; paper watermarked. 248 x 387m38m (9¾ x 15¼"). Cut, crease; some spotting.
Satire combining two subjects: the letters of Vetus (later revealed as Edward Sterling) to 'The Times' in 1812 praising Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington in terms of hero-worship, and the controversy over the India Charter Bill. Vetus, on stilts, heads a procession trying to force its way into the Treasury. On the donkey sits Lord Wellesley in oriental dress, much be-jewelled, and carrying on his head a model of the India House. He has a shield inscribed in large letters 'Aut Cæsar aut Nullus'; on this is depicted a realistic hand about to grasp a small crown resting on clouds. His ass has one (superfluous) wooden leg, its own leg being bent back at the knee, and it tramples on two papers inscribed 'Fr[ee] Trade' and 'Free Port[s]'. Behind Wellesley is a second ass, with a thick sheaf of newspapers, 'The Times', bound to its back in place of a saddle and labelled 'Qui Veut'. Beside it walks Canning, who puts out a protesting arm.He is identified by a paper which he holds, inscribed 'To the Electors of Liverpool'. Vetus is dressed like the zanies who accompanied quack doctors for purposes of advertisement. He wears a conical hat in which a pen labelled 'Venial' [? Venal] is thrust. In his sash is a sheaf of papers inscribed 'Vetus Letters'. A gridiron (or 'save-all') decorates the front of his tunic and he wears wide trousers; he blows a trumpet. The other trumpet, held in his left hand and directed from his posterior towards Wellesley. He is followed by a subordinate trumpeter, plainly dressed, who blows through a small trumpet, he holds out a sheaf of 'Vetus's Letters'. Seven other well-dressed men follow Wellesley and Vetus; three of them hold out documents inscribed respectively 'Liverpool', 'Glasgow', and 'H[ull] Petition', showing that they represent the out-ports which were agitating for a share in the trade with India. John Bull stands on the pavement in front of the Treasury door, holding out a spear with which he prods Vetus on the papers in his sash; to the spear shaft is attached a banner inscribed 'Free Trade' in large letters. Castlereagh peeps through the partly open door; other faces are indicated behind him.

[Two sheets from Robert Barker's panorama, 'London from the Roof of the Albion Mills']
[Engraved by Frederick Birnie and Henry Aston Barker after Robert Barker, 1792-3]
Etching and aquatint with hand-colouring, sheet approx 465 x 1100mm (18¼ x 43¼"). Some staining.
Two of the six sheets comprising Henry Barker's famous true panorama from Albion Mills, Southwark, looking across East and South East London, with the mill's chimneys in the foreground. Having already produced a panorama of Edinburgh, in 1790-91 Barker sent his son Henry Aston to draw the view from the Albion Mills on the south side of Blackfriars Bridge, which he enlarged and painted on the dome of 'The Panorama', the world's first building built specifically to display panoramas. Situated on the north side of Leicester Square, the building is now a French Catholic Church, 'Notre Dame de France', in Leicester Place. The painting was exhibited the following year and was praised by Sir Joshua Reynolds. This printed souvenir was published on six sheets 1792-3. Already the mill had burned down, an event recorded in the 'Microcosm of London' as 'Fire in London'.

A group of men and women stand conversing amongst tall marble pillars, inside a richly decorated hall. In the background are more open rooms and several figures, with statues set within niches along the walls. A slightly satirical take on fashionable 18th century London society. The Pantheon was a place of public entertainment on the south side of Oxford Street, designed by James Wyatt. It opened in 1772, when the main rotunda was one of the largest rooms in England. Originally built as a set of winter assembly rooms, it was later briefly converted into a theatre. Before being demolished in 1937, it was a bazaar and a wine merchant's show room for over a hundred years. After Michel Vincent Brandoin (1733 - 1790), known as Charles Brandoin, a Swiss painter, watercolourist, draughtsman, and caricaturist working in London.

Despite finding no trace of La Pérouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists (and sketches by the expedition's artist Jean Piron) which were published in this book.

Published by Septimus Prowett, 62 Paternoster Row. 1825.
Rare proof mezzotint. 255 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"), with large margins.
Satan on the Burning Lake; a fantastic image depicting Satan, with a helmet and spear, supporting himself on his shield, rolling on the fiery waves of a burning lake flowing among the rocks in a dark cavern, looking towards Beelzebub who flounders beside him. Fully lettered proof impression. From a series of prints illustrating John Milton's (1608-1674) 'Paradise Lost', first published in 1667, consisting of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. The poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man, the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Begun by early 1824, this series of engravings was the result of a comission from a little known American publisher Septimus Prowett, who approached Martin to produce mezzotint illustrations to accompany an issue of Milton's text. Prowett's publication was released in four different proof forms; this print is from the 'Imperial Folio Edition' but not bound up at publication time.
