A view of 10th Hussars in drill order on the plains near to Kirkee in Mahaarashtra, India. Following the Battle of Kirkee in 1817, in which the British East India Company defeated the Marathas, the British set up a cantonment at Kirkee in which the 10th Hussars were stationed between 1846 and 1855. The sweeping plains of India provided the perfect environment for the cavalry to practice their drill manoeuvers on a large scale, something which was not possible in England.

The Return from a Course on Lambourn Downs near Ashdown Park, a Hunting Seat of the Right Honourable Fulwar Lord Craven.
J. Seymour Pinx.t. Walker Sculp.t.
London Printed for Rob.t Sayer, at the Golden Buck near Serjeants Inn Fleet Street. [n.d., c.1750.]
Very scarce engraving. Framed. Printed area: 440 x 320mm (17¼ x 12¼"). Frame size: 455 x 570mm (17¾ x 22½"). Unexamined out of frame.
A scene depicting Lord Fulwar Craven, on horse back, in profile to the right, dressed in hunting costume with a view of Ashdown House in the background. The house was built by William Earl Craven (supposedly for Elizabeth of Bohemia, sister of Charles I, but she died before construction was started). It was gifted by the family to the National Trust in 1956 and is now tenanted by Pete Townsend of 'The Who', who has undertaken a substantial renovation. Another attendant to the hunt is also on a horse, behind to the left. A huntsman with a dead hare is standing before him, with two greyhounds and a smaller horse. Fulwar Craven, 4th Baron Craven, was an English nobleman and sportsman who was educated at Rugby School and Magdalen College, Oxford. He was famously fond of racing and hunting, hunting on his Berkshire estates at Hamstead Marshall and Ashdown Park, keeping his own stud of racehorses and founding a racecourse at Lambourn. He and his brother William founded the Craven Hunt.

Attica from an Actual Survey by Mr. Stuart.
Drawn by A. Arrowsmith. J. Walker Sculp.t.
Publish'd as the Act directs by Elizabeth Stuart Feb: 12th 1794.
Engraved map. 660 x 620mm, 26 x 24½". Folded as issued, Two tears repaired.
Map of the peninsula of Attica, the region dominated by Athens in classical times. It was drawn by Aaron Arrowsmith, one of the leading English cartographers of the period, based on the survey made by James 'Athenian' Stuart and published in the 'Antiquities of Athens and Other Monuments of Greece' by 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'.

Sir Humphry Davy, 1st Baronet, FRS. Natural philosopher.(17 December 1778 - 29 May 1829), often incorrectly spelled Humphrey, was an esteemed Cornish chemist and physicist. He was born in Penzance, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Sir Humphry revelled in his status, as his lectures gathered many spectators. Davy became well known due to his experiments with the physiological action of some gases, including laughing gas (nitrous oxide) - to which he was addicted, once stating that its properties bestowed all of the benefits of alcohol but was devoid of its flaws. Davy later damaged his eyesight in a laboratory accident with nitrogen trichloride. In 1801 he was nominated professor at the Royal Institution of Great Britain and Fellow of the Royal Society, over which he would later preside.

[Sir Balthazar Gerbier and his Family From the Original Picture, painted by Sir Ant: van Dyck, in the Collection of her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales...]
A. van Dyck pinx.t. W.m Walker Sculpsit.
J. Boydell exc.t. 1766 [Published according to Act of Parliament, Feb 1st 1766 by J. Boydell Engraver, in Cheapside, London.]
Engraving, scratch letter proof before title. 475 x 605mm (18¾ x 23¾"), with large margins.
Sir Balthasar Gerbier (1592-1663/67), art agent, miniature painter, and architect, with his wife Debora Kip and their eight children (it is suggested that the girl in the centre is either a servant or a dwarf). While Gerbier's creative efforts have been disparaged (Pepys said one of his books was 'not worth a turd'), in recent years attention has turned towards Gerbier's work as keeper of the picture collection of George Villiers, marquess of Buckingham. Frederick, Prince of Wales, bought the original oil as a Van Dyck in 1749; however the Royal Collection now ascribes it to Sir Peter Paul Rubens and his studio (probably Jacob Jordaens). Gerbier and Rubens first met in the 1720s while conducting diplomatic business (it is claimed they were using Buckingham's collecting as a cover for conducting treaties between Britain and Spain). As Gerbier's family grew the painting was extended: in c.1629-30 it only featured Debora, three children and a baby; c. 1631-4 more canvas was stitched on, on which Gerbier and the two central figures were added; finally c. 1638-41 the three children on the right were apended. The timespan of the additions make most of the children look the same age. The original painting was sketched by Edward Edwards to prepare this engraving, which was published in 'The Most Capital Paintings in England', a five-volume set that was a critical and financial success for the publisher John Boydell.

Incidents in the Indian War. _ No.1. Treachery and Fidelity.
Watts Phillips del_ E. Walker, lith. Day & Son, Lithrs. to The Queen.
London, Published by Ackermann & Co. 106 Strand [n.d., 1857].
Sepia-tinted lithograph heightened in white, rare, sheet 380 x 260mm. 15 x 10¼". A little soiled.
Dramatic illustration of an "Extract from a private letter" printed below, which reports how a faithful guard-dog protected a British child from a would-be Indian assassin during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The rebellion began in the town of Meerut when a group of sepoys, native soldiers employed by the British East India Company's army, mutinied because of perceived race-based injustices and inequities. The uprising was soon converted into a wider civilian insurrection against the Company. From a populist series, 'Incidents in the Indian War'. Watts Phillips (1825 - 1874) was an illustrator and dramatist, and pupil of George Cruikshank.
