G. Faithorne fec. [1656]
Two rare engravings, combined area 380 x 155mm (15 x 6"). Both trimmed and pasted to album sheet; glue stains to edges.
Portrait of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658), lord protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland, with a battle taking place behind him, after a painting by Robert Walker. With allegorical tree glorifying Cromwell below. Both were published as illustrations to Louis de Gand's 'Parallelum Olivae' (1656). Two engravings by William Faithorne (c.1620-91), printmaker who was apprenticed to the printseller William Peake, with whom he served in the royalist army during the civil war. At the Restoration Faithorne was appointed engraver in copper to the king, doubtless as reward for his devotion to the Stuart cause. The finest native British engraver born before the eighteenth century, Faithorne was highly esteemed by Pepys (who recorded many visits to his shop) while enthusiasts such as Horace Walpole ensured his posthumous reputation, which led to fine proofs of his work fetching extraordinary prices in the late Georgian period.

[published by Clement de Jonghe, c.1653-8.]
Etching. Sheet 250 x 200mm (9¾ x 8"). Trimmed to plate, mounted on album paper. Some staining & damage; repaired tears.
An anti-Commonwealth portrait of Oliver Cromwell, still giving his military rank rather than 'Lord Protector', his rank post 1653. Among the allegorical figures in the borders are several references to his desire to be made king. This print originated as a portrait of Dirk Rafaelsz. Camphuysen (1586-1627), painter, poet and cleric by Cornelis Visscher after Caspar Casteleyn. The portrait was subsequently changed to that of Cromwell, the text changed, and new vignettes added in the top corners. The three female personifications are substantially the same as for the Camphuysen state, but they have been subtly changed to yield different meanings in the new context.

London, Printed 1659.
Pamphlet, pp.6, uncut, bound into a card folder, very scarce. Some creasing.
'Sir. The World dos not so much bewaile the fall of your late Highness, as wonder you could fall so easily from it, and not crush any thing but your Highness'. A philosophic look at the fall from power of Richard Cromwell, Lord Protector for just nine months after the death of his father, Oliver Cromwell. Lacking the support of the New Model Army he found his position untenable and allowed himself to be bought off. The author suggests the reins of power would pass to Richard's brother Henry, but the office of Lord Protector was abolished. A year later the monarchy was restored. One copy of this pamphlet is dated 'June 13th', which would date the pamphlet to around three weeks after his protectorate formally came to an end.

[Cross Readings]
[Anon, c.1830]
Lithograph with hand-colouring, sheet 205 x 280mm (8 x 11"). Trimmed to border and glued to backing sheet.
'Cross Readings' were a curious Victorian print genre depicting a palimpsest of notices pasted against fences so they could be read downwards as complete sentences. These prints both anticipated Surrealist techniques and recorded the interests and events of the period. This print includes references to ballooning, steam transport, entertainment, punishment and trade. An example sentence is 'Mr. G. Robins will / on Monday next at twelve o'clock precisely Swallow / 8 fine male elephants three Kangaroos and an enormous Bengal Tigress / Without Reserve The Proprietor retiring from Swallow Street.' Australian interest.

Le Jeu de la Cross.
Gravelot inv. Bachelet sculps.
[n.d., c.1740.]
Engraving. Framed, sight size 95 x 260mm (3¾ x 10¼"). Paper toned, unexamined out of frame.
Children playing cricket, a reversed version of Gravelot's 1739 engraving, which is believed to be the first representation of cricket to be published. In 1748 a version of this print was used by George Bickham as the heading to a page in “The British Monarchy,” a two-volume work on the counties of England. In this, it was used as the heading to the section on Shropshire. The original showed a right-handed batsman, but Bickham’s printers reversed the engraving so that the batsman appears left-handed. They also added the arms of Shrewsbury at the top of the picture and excluded one figure at the side. The rococo border was extended to the top of the picture and has flowers added. The number 3 in the top right corner would suggest that this is one in a series of prints. “La Crosse” was used in French to define cricket for many years, starting with Cotgrave’s French/English Dictionary of 1611

R. Crosse, Esq.r. Painter in Enamel to His Majesty.
Painted by Himself. Engraved by R. Thew [published 1 September 1792].
Stipple, sheet 165 x 120mm (6½ x 4¾"). Trimmed inside platemark.
Richard Crosse (1742-1810), miniature painter who while not now ranked among the pre-eminent miniaturists of the 18th century, was probably appointed painter in enamel to George III circa 1789. Crosse's ledger in the National Art Library reveals that during his most productive years he painted around 100 miniatures per year. He appears to have given up his London practice in 1798 and to have retired to Somerset. This engraving reproduces Crosse's self-portrait of circa 1780 (Victoria & Albert Museum).
