The Tea Tax Tempest, or the Anglo-American Revolution.
[Carl Gottlieb Guttenberg.]
[n.d., c.1778.]
Etching, scarce scratched letter proof. Platemark: 405 x 485mm (16 x 19"), with large margins. Light foxing in margins. Small spot of repaired damage in lower right title area.
Famous American Revolution satire, in which a figure of Time uses a magic lantern to project an allegorical representation of revolution in America, showing the consequences of the Stamp Act and the tax on tea, watched by an audience personifying the four continents. In the title area, two medallions depicting Holland and Switzerland as precursors of the American struggle in their own experiences of oppression. One (left) is inscribed "Auto da fe" and "Holland. 1560". It represents a man tied to the stake, while a monk, holding up a crucifix, holds a torch to the pile. On the right. is "Wilhelm Tell, Switzerland. 1296". Legendary Swiss patriot William Tell aims with a cross-bow at the apple on his son's head, while Austrian bailiff Gessler on horseback points at the child. Between the medallions is part of an oak-tree. The medallion representing Holland is supported (left) by the Dutch lion holding in his paw a sheaf of seven arrows representing the United Provinces. Hercules with his club (right) supports the medallion of Switzerland. An adaptation, in reverse, of 'The Oracle' by John Dixon. Engraved and published in Nuremberg by Carl Gottlieb Guttenberg (1743 - 1790).

[Allegory of the French Empire dedicated to Anne of Austria.]
J. Heyden excudibat.
[n.d., c.1625.]
Rare engraving. 320 x 425mm (12½ x 16¾"). With the ink collector's stamp of Alfred Morrisson). Narrow margins. Crease in centre, slightly visable from front.
An allegorical plate of the French Empire dedicated to Anne of Austria (1601-60, wife of Louis XIII and mother of Louis XIV) by the author Martin Meurisse. Centred around a portrait of the queen are figures of the Virtues, Europa astride the bull and others sitting on tiers, with notes in Latin and French. The two coats of arms are the Royal Crest and the emblem of the Franciscans. Underneath, the French text dedication explains the meaning of the plate. The author was Bishop Martin Meurisse (1584-1644), a Franciscan philosopher and theologian who published theses on Logic, Physics, Metaphysics and Ethics between 1613 and 1618, each illustrated with prints such as these. Alfred Morrisson (1821-1897), described by Lugt as 'one of the most relentless collectors of his time', formed his print collection between 1860 and 1878; the Print Room of the British Museum acquired 455 rare prints from the collection before the rest was dispersed by Sothebys between 1917-19.
