Engraving with later hand colouring. 260 x 400mm
The Beauties of Stow were engraved by George Bickham [1706?-1771] from drawings by the Frenchman Jean-Baptiste-Claude Chatelain [1710-1771]. Stowe was one of the most famous gardens in England, boasting designs by some of the most celebrated English gardeners. Charles Bridgeman, Richard Kent, and Capability Brown all had a hand in designing the garden. The 1753 edition of Bickham’s prints were reissued in several editions throughout the second half of the eighteenth century, so it is difficult to identify the precise date.

Etching, 360 x 510mm (14¼ x 20"). Tatty extremities, with closed tears, one into upper left of plate. One rust spot to centre of image.
A pleasure cruise or ferryboat on the lake at Stowe House, Buckinghamshire, with three smaller rowing boats surrounding. A fountain in the background, the park with the house in the distance on the left shore. Stowe was begun by Sir Richard Temple in 1676, his family having risen from sheep farmers under Elizabeth I. Over the next century, Viscount Cobham and then Earl Temple (Cobham's Grenville nephew) rebuilt it into the great classical show house and landscape which still amazes visitors today. Numerous famous architects worked at Stowe House and Gardens. Among them were Sir John Vanbrugh, William Kent, James Gibbs, Robert Adam, Thomas Pitt and Sir John Soane, making Stowe one of the most important houses and estates in the country. The house is now part of Stowe School, founded in 1923.

Etching, sheet 240 x 270mm (9½ x 10½"). Trimmed, losing title above image; tipped into album sheet.
The trial of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford (1593-1641), lord lieutenant of Ireland. In the deteriorating political climate leading up to the English Civil War, Strafford was recalled to London by Charles I (whose great supporter he was) in 1640, but was accused of high treason and imprisoned in the Tower of London shortly after. Strafford was tried in March 1641 (the detailed trial scene here labels the prominent figures present) and demonstrated his great skill as an orator by refuting most of the charges against him (mostly relating to his conduct in Ireland). When these failed, the Commons passed a bill of attainder (an act of legislation declaring Strafford guilty and punishable by death). Charles I, who had previously sworn to protect Strafford, both appeared in person to ask for him not to be condemned to death, and sent soldiers to the Tower in an unsuccessful attempt to free him. Eventually Charles assented to the bill of attainder and Strafford was beheaded at Tower Hill (he was spared the traditional punishment for treason, of being hung, drawn and quartered). The death of Strafford, rather than resolving the tension between parliament and the monarchy, merely aggravated it, as the king could not forgive those who had forced him to abandon one of his most trusted aides. Etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77). Born in Bohemia, Hollar spent around 32 of his 52 years as a professional artist working in England. An outstanding draughtsman and topographical etcher, Hollar's enormously varied work has done much to inform the way that seventeenth century London is visualised.

Engraving 600 x 450mm, 23½ x 17¾". Splits in folds.
South west view of St Mary le Strand as proposed by the architect James Gibbs, which was not as completed. It shows a statue of Queen Anne above the portico which was abandoned on her death in 1714. St Mary-le-Strand was James Gibbs' first public building, the first of the fifty new churches built in London under the 'Commission for Building Fifty New Churches', at a cost of some £16,000. Building started in February 1715, but work was halted because of the Jacobite rebellion. Gibbs, a secret Catholic and widely believed to have Jacobite sympathies, was dismissed as Surveyor to the Commissioners for building New Churches in August 1715 but was allowed to complete the church without pay. The steeple was completed in September 1717, although the church was not consecrated for use until 1 January 1723. Gibbs complained about how the commissioners changed his plans, including the addition of the steeple, which meant Gibbs was 'obliged to spread [the church] from south to north, which makes the plan oblong, which should otherwise have been square'.

Strand on the Green. [in pencil] 'One of the quaintest and least spoilt places on the Thames is Strand-on-the-Green, below Kew Bridge on the Middlesex bank. The view from the interesting old houses is charming on account of the pretty eyot in the middle of the river. The inhabitants are chiefly watermen, but artists and writers have also lived in the very quaint houses. Zoffany, the painted, died at Strand-on-the-Green in 1810, and Joe Miller, the wit, lived there. The Maltster's building on the left-and important feature from an artistic point of view-was recently pulled down'.
