[Lord George Brydges Rodney].
Sir Joshua Reynolds pinxt. P.W. Tomkins pupil of F. Bartolozzi sculpt.
Publish'd according to Act of Parlt. April 26th 1781 by I. Walker Strand.
Stipple engraving printed in sanguine, with very large margins. 125 x 175mm. 5 x 7". Light paper discolouration.
George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney [1719 - 1792] became a national hero when in 1780 he defeated a Spanish fleet off Cape St. Vincent, thus relieving Gibraltar. His crowning victory was at the Battle of the Saintes off Dominica, when on 12 April with thirty-five sail of the line he defeated the Comte de Grasse, who had thirty-three sail. The French inferiority in numbers was more than counterbalanced by the greater size and superior sailing qualities of their ships, yet five were taken and one sunk, after eleven hours' fighting. This important battle saved Jamaica and ruined French naval prestige.
See Hamilton: p.61 "Others, small, by Robinson, Scrivem &c., when Lord Rodney.

Joseph Rogers (Guzeppi Ruggier) was a Maltese seaman who was instrumental in saving many lives when the 'Royal Charter' was shipwrecked on the coast of Anglesey and unreachable due to atrocious conditons. Rogers offered to swim from the vessel to shore with rope, and succeeded in reaching the rocks. A lifeline was set up to save as many of the passengers and crew, but the force of the storm crashed down on the ship and only thirty-nine lives were saved out of the possible four hundred that were recorded.

Hand-coloured engraving, sheet 80 x 55mm (3¼ x 2¼"). Trimmed within plate.
From, 'Dames de France.' Armand Gustave Houbigant (1789–1862) designed a new series of playing cards around 1816, drawing on realistic portrayals of historical figures to free players from what he saw as the dull, standardized “portraits” then in use. The court cards depict members of the dynasties of Charlemagne, Saint Louis, Francis I, and Henry IV. Houbigant’s designs appeared in multiple editions of differing quality, including a special issue produced to mark the marriage of the Duke of Berry in 1820, 'Histoire de France,' published in Paris by V. Dambrin. These cards subsequently inspired numerous imitations and helped establish a new genre of playing cards based on historical costume. A playing card, ace or jack of spades, Roland (c.736-78) (Hroudland) stands in armour holding his shiled and legendary sword Durendal (Durandal) with a dog by his side.

Rolling Carts and Waggons. [On coach Wagon: "James Sharp Leadenhall Street London Common Stage"]. To ascertain the Advantages of these Waggons, a few Journies have been made into Warwickshire and Staffordshire; about thirty Journies to Bedford; and, on the 3d of November last, they began going from Whittlebury Forest to Northampton, about fourteen Miles, and continued without Intermission every Day, till the latter end of March following, with such heavy Loads of Timber, that some People supposed the Road would have been destroyed by such constant Carriage in wet Weather...They are both cheaper and much lighter than common Nine-inch Broad Wheels; they are more durable, and are sure to produce a smooth Road. Great Variety of Rolling Carriages, and also Garden and Land Rollers of a new Construction, are ready for Inspection. N.B. Rolling Carts and Waggons of all Kinds, according to Act of Parliament, are built by James Sharp, of Leadenhall-Street, London.
[n.d. c.1773.]
Woodcut and letterpress. 202 x 210mm (8 x 8¼"). Laid on card, trimmed at top, creasing.
Letterpress handbill with a woodcut showing a large covered wagon on wide rollers rather than wheels, being pulled by a team of eight horses. The handbill extols the virtues of rolling wagons, namely that they can be used to transport heavy loads without damaging the road surface, particularly in wet conditions. It concludes by naming James Sharp of Leadenhall Street, London, as a supplier of rolling carts and wagons. James Sharp of Leadenhall Street, London, was an inventor but also a transport enthusiast. His "rolling carts and waggons" which he built in London were carried on broad rollers not conventional wheels. The obvious benefit was that they operated with advantage on muddy and poorly metalled roads, particularly of course in the winter. His advertisement catalogues the advantages, reports on road tests actually carried out, and happily names a carrier, Mr William James and Sons "Proprietors of the Bath and Bristol waggons" who had been successfully using a Sharp waggon on the Bristol road. Moreover, Sharp flags up the statutory benefits given to this form of transport by recent Acts of Parliament (heavier loads allowed, one year's toll-free travel and no limit on number of horses up front).

[by Cyril Barraud.]
[Printed by] W.F. Sedgewick Ltd. Xmas 1934.
Etching, presented as a printed christmas card. Etching 175 x 120mm (7 x 4¾") on front of a folded sheet watermarked 1934. Rare.
A christmas card with a printed greeting from A.F. Sidgreaves, managing director of Rolls Royce Ltd. It depicts an airshow with a flypast of biplanes in three ranks of three, most likely the Hawker Hart, a prominent British light bomber between the wars, powered by a Rolls-Royde engine. A Rolls Royce car is parked prominently among the spectators. Cyril Barraud (1877-1965), son of Herbert Rose Barraud and nephew of Francis Barraud. Having trained at the Brighton School of Art he emigrated to Winnepeg in 1913. He was commissioned as a lieutenant with the 43rd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in 1915 but transferred to the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Canada a few months later. He was wounded in the leg fighting in France in 1917, but returned to active service. Barraud was one of the first Canadian artists hired by Lord Beaverbrook for the War Records Office to sketch Canadian battle zones around Ypres and Vimy Ridge-Arras sectors. Later he was seconded to the Canadian War Memorials Fund. After demobilisation he remained in England, painting and etching landscapes, some of which were used for the LNER carriage prints, and taking commissions for christmas cards like this.
