[Christopher Pinchbeck the younger] Pinchee, or the Bauble Macaroni.
Pubd accorg to Act Dec.r 29th 1772, by MDarly 39 Strand.
Etching. 170 x 125mm (6¾ x 5").
Christopher Pinchbeck the younger (1709/10 - 1783), clockmaker and inventor, son of the clockmaker of the same name, holding in his right hand a conical vessel. This must be one of his inventions, perhaps his celebrated candlesnuffers. He is described in his patents as ‘toyman and mechanician'. As an anti-Wilkite he was mocked in 'The London Evening Post' in November 1772, which forecast the possible election as President of the Royal Society of ‘no less a person than the noted Pinchbeck, buckle and knickknack maker to the King'. Trades interest. From 'Caricatures, Macaronies & Characters, published by MDarly', in an album of caricatures published by Mary Darly dated January 1776. It seems that her husband Matthew made the plates. Numbered 'V5' upper left and '24' upper right.

Christopher Pinchbeck (1670?-1732), maker of clocks and automata, here shown holding an open pocket watch. He also invented 'pinchbeck', an alloy of copper and zinc that resembled gold, which created a new market for costume jewelry. Among his clients was Louis XIV, for whom he made a music clock. In 1717 he advertised a clock at one thousand guineas (appoximately £140,000 today). From 1721 until his death his address was 'at the sign of ‘The Astronomico-Musical Clock' in Fleet Street.

The two men stepped outside into Pipe's Ground and fought a duel, in which Chetwynd was wounded and Walpole was saved only by his opponent's sword striking a button. The duel was stopped by a passing clerk before any serious injury might have occured. They were arrested by Speaker Onslow. In the print the person perhaps representing Onslow is identified by Stephens as Lord Hardwicke. The print was advertised in the London Daily Post, 14 March 1743.

Louis Pique [signature facsimile]. Sketched At Dover Oct: 1849.
Cowell's Anastatic Press, Ipswich [n.d., c.1850].
Anastatic print, sheet 285 x 227mm. Tipped into album page. Light soiling/spotting to extremities.
Apparently an 'interpreter & hotel commissioner'. The anastatic printing process, which was discovered in the early 1840s or just before, created a good deal of interest in that decade, being promoted and extolled by Michael Faraday, Edgar Allen Poe and (Sir) Walter Siemens. It was a cheap method of producing facsimiles of text or drawings, the only requirement of which was that the material to be copied should have been produced by a medium, usually ink, with an oily content. S.H. Cowell of Ipswich was the principal commercial exponent of anastatic printing, for which he held a licence.

[Chart of Port Piraeus, and the Bay of Phalerum, &c.]
Drawn by A. Arrowsmith.
[London: Elizabeth Stuart, 1794.]
Engraved map by T. Foot, with large margins. 325 x 495mm, 12¾ x 19½".
Map of Piraeus (the port of Athens) with Phaleron Bay (or Faliro) the original port, superceded by the construction of Piraeus, published in the 'Antiquities of Athens and Other Monuments of Greece' by James 'Athenian' Stuart & Nicholas Revett. Stuart (1713–88) and Revett (1720–1804) joined Gavin Hamillton and Matthew Brettingham on a Grand Tour of Italy, the Balkans & Greece between 1748-55. On their return they started work on the 'Antiquities', which was the first accurate survey of the surviving classical buildings of Athens, with the first volume published in 1762, the second 1789, third 1794, fourth 1816 and fifth 1830 (nearly 80 years after the first). The work was incredibly influential, fueling the Greek revivalist style in 18th-century English architecture. The attention to detail was such that it attracted the attention of Hogarth, who satirised the work with his 'Five Orders of Periwig'. This map was published in Volume 4; the general map of Attica in the same volume was signed by Arrowsmith.

Etching. 175 x 290mm, 7 x 11½". Repaired tears and creases on this extremely rare print.
Published in the first English edition of Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin's important work, 'The Bucaniers of America', first published in Amsterdam in 1678. A pirate himself, he could write about characters like Henry Morgan from first-hand experience, as he was in Morgan's band at the time of this attack on Panama on January. 28, 1671. 1,500 pirates took the city, but missed a treasure ship. Exquemelin returned to Amsterdam soon after, published this book and joined the Dutch Surgeons' Guild. However the wanderlust had not left him: in 1697 his name was on the muster-roll as a surgeon on a pirate ship in the pay of the French during their attack on Cartagena.

Engraving. 145 x 80mm (5¾ x 3¼"). Trimmed into printed borders.
Portrait of a pirate from Exquemelin's 'History of the Bucaniers of America'. The text describes the pirate as a cruel man who was born in Groningen, the Netherlands, who plied his trade in Brazil and Jamaica.
