A black cat lounging on a carpet before an open fire. Frederick Henry Townsend was an illustrator for the Illustrated London News before becoming the first art editor of Punch magazine.

London Pub.d April 1791 by W. Holland N° 50 Oxford St.t In Holland's Exhibition Rooms may be seen the largest Collection of Caricatures in Europe Admit.ce One Shil.g.
Coloured etching, 18th century watermark; Sheet 280 x 420mm (11 x 16½"). Trimmed to image on three sides, into plate at bottom. Vertical crease on left.
King Frederick William of Prussia uses his foot to push forward a blindfolded Pitt, who sets fire to two cities marked Cronstadt and 'Rerel'. The resulting smoke covers Russian Riga, Poland, Germany and Austria. To Frederick's left is Henry Fox, Baron Holland, as a fat burgher, saying "What a blessed Alliance". In the far left is a citizen reading newspaper headlines about the loss of Baltic trade and new taxes on Malt and Porter. To the right is a boat with four men: the helmsman says, "I would rather be a Baltic trader"; oarsmen say, "Do not mind it, it will bring other wars" and "No prize money"; a man looking through a telescope says, "No Galeons - Storms, Sholas & Rocks." A man standing on the shore shouts to the boat "nothing good to be got by it". The satire suggests that Frederick was more interested in acquiring Danzig (Gdansk) while suggesting to Pitt that the Russian occupation of Oczakoff (renamed Odessa by Catherine II) was of more importance, so Britain would help fulfil his ambition.

A picturesque view of the Causey Arch, a single-arched bridge built for a horse-drawn railway for transporting coal from Tanfield Coal works to the River Tyne. Built 1725-6 by stonemason Ralph Wood, it was the longest single-span bridge in the country with an arch span of 31 metres (102 ft), a record it held until 1756. Over 900 horse-drawn wagons crossed each day. In the 19th century, the wooden track was replaced with metal rails, and horses were replaced by stationary steam winding engines. The line closed in 1962 but the arch was restored in the 1980s for public use. Engraved by J.C. Stadler after a watercolour by the Newcastle artist Joseph Atkinson.

Fine engraving, platemark 230 x 295mm (9 x 11½"). Very large margins.
'The Plea', from 'Laurette' by Jean François Marmontel (1723-99). Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg executed a drawing (now in the National Gallery of Ireland) which was engraved by Byrne, Bartolozzi and Middiman in 1776 as 'Lauretta'. This print was presumably a copy of the British print, with some additional landscape filled in to fit the rectangular plate (the British print is an oval composition). This print is also reversed from the British print, which would also suggest that it was copied directly and then reversed when printed from the plate onto the paper.

[Cavalry officer and horse.]
[Anon., c.1818]
Pen lithograph, Slade 1818 watermark; sheet 195 x 245mm (7¾ x 9½"). Trimmed.
Early pen lithograph. The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing them to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography.
