Mary Squires the Gypsy, who was Condemned for Stripping Eliza. Canning, at Endfield Wash; and has since obtain'd his Majesty's most Gracious Pardon.
Drawn from the Life, by the Honourable R_d E_d and Etch'd by Tho.s Worlidge, Painter in the Little Piazza, Covent Garden.
[Etched c.1754, but on wove paper watermarked 1812.]
Etching. 205 x 160mm (8 x 6½") very large margins.
An 18-year-old London maidservant called Elizabeth Canning claimed to have been kidnapped on New Year's Day and held for a month, in a brothel in Enfield. She accused `Mother Wells', the madam of the establishment, of trying to force her to become a prostitute. A hideous gypsy crone staying in the house, Mary Squires, cut off the girl's stays (worth 10 shillings), and Elizabeth was imprisoned in an attic with only a few crusts of bread and a jug of water to live on. On January 29th she escaped through a window and walked all the way back to her mother's house in the City. Squires and Wells were apprehended, and tried at the Old Bailey; the former was condemned to be hanged, and the latter was burned in the hand and imprisoned. However opinion turned against Canning and new evidence led her to be charged with perjury and transported for seven years.

Launch of the Great Britain, at Bristol. On the 19th of July 1843, in the presence of H.R.H. Prince Albert.
Drawn by H. Sims.
Engd. & Pubd. by J. Harris [c.1850].
Rare steel engraving, perhaps an illustration trimmed from a writing paper, sheet 110 x 175mm. 4¼ x 7".
The SS ‘Great Britain’ was the first screw-propelled vessel to cross the Atlantic, as well as being the first iron-built ship to do so. She sailed from Liverpool to New York in 1845, taking 14 days 21 hours to make the crossing. She was completed in Bristol in 1843 for the Great Western Steamship Company to the plans of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Accommodation was provided for about 360 passengers. The Great Britain was employed in the Australian trade from 1852, and then had her engines removed and was converted into a sailing vessel in 1882. Her seagoing life ended in the Falkland Islands in 1886. In 1970 she was brought back to the dock in which she was built, for preservation.

[Nathaniel St André] Major G*****n & Lady Landing at Southampton in Cripples Walk. 4
[by William Austin]
Pubd as ye Act Directs May 1st 1773.
Etching, J. Whatman watermark. 270 x 400mm (10½ x 15¾"), with large margins.
An elderly man with a gouty leg walks on crutches, followed by his tall wife with a witch-like face with hooked nose and protruding bearded chin. Among the other figures that walk along the sea front is a man marked 'The Rabbit Doctor St A-', with a rabbit under his arm. This is a caricature of Nathaniel St André (c.1680-1776), a Swiss surgeon who was appointed as surgeon and anatomist to the royal household by George I in 1723. However, in 1726 he supported the claim of Mary Toft that she had given birth to fourteen rabbits, even publishing an account. When she admitted the deception St André lost his Royal salary. Later one of his patients died and he married his widow the same day. The pair moved to Southampton in 1750. From a set of twelve prints by William Austin (1721/33-1820), drawing-master and engraver. Austin taught caricature to amateurs and this series, which mocked several well-known personages (as did its dedicatee, the actor Samuel Foote) contains some of the most lively English caricatures of the period between Hogarth and the late Georgian satire of Gillray and Rowlandson.

Aquatint, 510 x 665mm. 20 x 26¼". Slight mount burn.
The Royal Burgh of St Andrews, from the "Views in Scotland" series. The town is shown from the south-east, with the tower of Holy Trinity on the left, St Rule's Tower and the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral, with the coast on the right. Although it cannot be proved it is believed that 'I. Clark" is the Scottish painter John Heaviside Clark, famed as 'Waterloo Clark' for his early sketches of the Battle. He was also skilled in aquatinting, and certainly none of this series has a named engraver. Uncoloured examples of this series are rare, suggesting this is an early impression, possibly a proof.

St. Bride's Avenue. The Improvement in Fleet Street, Proposed To Be Erected By Voluntary Subscription, 1825. The Committee [a list of members' names follows in three columns below]. The Public are respectfully informed that the Work is commenced and will be completed with all convenient speed. Early Contributions are requested in support of an Improvement so conducive to the general Embellishment of the Metropolis.
John B. Papworth, Archt. Thos. Kearnan, Sculpt.
Published by R. Ackermann, 101, Strand, Jany. 28th. 1825.
Engraving, outline proof with open letters, 505 x 330mm.
View of St Brides Avenue as seen from Fleet street, with figures and adjacent shop fronts, including the premises of Pitman and Ashfield to the left. John Buonarroti Papworth (1775 - 1847), architect and designer, was a thorough master of drawing perspective and classic ornament. Many of his architectural designs were exhibited at the Royal Academy yearly from 1794 to 1799. For the premises of Rudolf Ackermann, the publisher of this engraving, to whose ‘Repository of Arts and Essays' from 1809 to 1823 he was a frequent contributor of prose and verse and of drawings, he designed a hall or reception-room, intended as a lounge for customers. In 1826 he worked on the extensive building, No. 96 Strand, at the corner of Beaufort Buildings, now occupied by Rimmel the perfumer. His most important architectural work in London is here represented - St. Bride's Avenue, Fleet Street. This provided a clear view and a good access for the magnificent steeple of St. Bride's Church, previously screened from Fleet Street by a row of houses. This vision of how the new street might look is intended to encourage subscriptions for the project. The details of where subscriptions were received are provided to the left and right of the caption below the image.
Guildhall Library Record: 1693. Also two coloured impressions.

[n.d., c.1817]
Etching on blue paper. Plate 342 x 197mm. 13½ x 7¾". Scarce, laid on album sheet.
Copy of Hogarth's satire on William Kent's altarpiece at St Clement Danes; a group of five angels playing musical instruments; the dove of the Holy Ghost above, surrounded by seven heads of putti. William Kent's altarpiece was much criticised for Roman Catholic overtones, and was said to include a depiction of Princess Maria Clementina Sobieska, wife of the Old Pretender; in 1725 the Bishop of London ordered it to be removed. Like Hogarth's original print of 1725 it is printed on blue paper but is distinguished by more uniform text below the image (including a modern 's' at the end of the final 'Wings') and other small differences.
