Iean Sadeler. Tres excellent engraveur, natif de Brusselles….il mourut de la chaude fiebre l'an 1600.
Coenr. Waumans sculp. Io. Meyssens exc.
[n.d. c.1694].
Engraving. 160 x 110mm. Foxing and staining, outside plate only.
Jan (or Johan) Sadeler [1550 - 1600], draughtsman, engraver and publisher, and brother of Raphael. He began work as a steel-chiseller or damascener but moved to Antwerp, where he was admitted to the Guild of St Luke in 1572 as a copperplate engraver. It was probably in Antwerp also that he met Marten de Vos, with whom he and his brothers collaborated for many years.

From the 'True Effigies Of the most Eminent Painters, and other Famous Artists That have Flourished in Europe' published in 1694 in Antwerp.

A Pegged-Down Fishing Match.
Painted by W. Dendy Sadler, Photogravure, Goupil & Co.i
London. April 1885. Published by I.P. Mendoza, St. James's Gallery, King Street, St. James's. New York, Fishel, Adler & Schwartz. Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1885 by Fishel, Adler & Schwartz in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
A rare photogravure, platemark 650 x 870mm (25½ x 34¼"). Outside of frame 960 x 1180mm (37¾ x 46½"). Some spotting towards top; unexamined out of original frame.
Fishing scene, inspired by the idea of a London Angling Society outing to the River Lea, the Sussex Ouse or the Thames, and the fishing of a friendly competition amongst the members. Sadler's painting of 1884 (now in the Beaverbrook Gallery in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada) has been described as his greatest angling scene, which 'shows contemporary fishing in a thoroughly naturalistic and unsentimental way'.

[Collection of four ink mss. sailing directions, three ink sketches and a pencil sketch, from the collection of Sir Graham Hamond.]
[Various dates, 1815-1854.]
8 sheets, various hands, largest 325 x 200mm (12¾ x 8"). Some staining.
The sailing directions relate to the work of Trinity House (the institution in charge of Britain's lighthouses) on navigational buoys. One sheet, bearing their address as sender and dated 28th August 1815, describes two buoys near Selsey Bill; the same text was published by Trinity House on 23rd May 1818 and recorded in Norie's 'New and complete sailing directions for the east coast of England'. The ink sketches (in the same hand) detail parts of a wooden ship. The pencil sketch, signed '[**] Hammond Dec. 30 /54', depicts two ships under sail with a town in the background. From the collection of Sir Graham Hamond (1779-1862), a Royal Naval officer who appears in Mather Brown's painting of the Battle of the Glorious First of June (1794), at which he served as a young midshipman. He continued to serve throughout the Napoleonic wars, including the Battle of Copenhagen and the siege of French-held Malta. He died less than a month after being promoted to full admiral.

A disgruntled sailor who stands opposite him asks: "Why then you Lubber, dont you come on this side?" A second Quaker stands behind the first, hands clasped, looking down.

Finely hand coloured etching. Sheet 270 x 380mm (10½ x 15"), on Whatman paper.
The artist wearing a floral dressing gown/artists smock, a self-portrait of Woodward, sits at a writing desk painting a miniature of the sailor that sits on a stool opposite arms akimbo. He says: "Come my Hearty - mind what you are at - make good use of your Eyes - you know the terms on which I set sail - ten golden quids if you come to Anchor in ten minutes - but a minute beyond time, and you have but five you know, so heave a head do you hear - and lay in plenty of the true-blue about the jacket, - and Harkee Young-one - don't forget the beauty spot on the lar-board side of my Cheek - Poll calls it her hearts delight, - well this same painting is a fine knack to be sure - but I am rather puzzled about one thing - If you can get my hulk, head, and stern into that there little bit of ivory - d------n me, but I think you would be able to tow a seventy-four through one of the cock boat Arches of London Bridge."

![To Captanis [sic] Robert and George C. Gambier, and Captain Robert Elliott, R.N., this View of the Sailors Asylum](jpegs/10674.jpg)
To Captanis [sic] Robert and George C. Gambier, and Captain Robert Elliott, R.N., this View of the Sailors Asylum In Dock Street, Wellclose Square, Is respectfully inscribed By their obedient Servant The Publisher.
London: Published as the Act directs, by W.K. Wakefield, Wellclose Square, & 1, Warwick Square, Paternoster Row, April 10th 1829.
Lithograph, sheet 275 x 380mm. 10¾ x 15".
In 1827 a group of philanthropists founded the Destitute Sailors' Asylum. This is a very rare view inside the converted warehouse in Dock Street they used, north of the London Docks in London's East End. At first, the Asylum provided shelter and food for shipwrecked and destitute seamen, but it soon became clear that many other seamen needed help. A committee was set up and funds were raised to build a Sailors' Home in nearby Well Street. This opened in 1835.
