Alfred Crowquill's Sketches From Jullien's Bal Masque. What Not One Kiss. Why We Both Belong To The Sea.
Alfred Crowquill, delt. et lith. M & N. Hanhart, Impt.
Published by E. Sidebetham, 38, Burlington Arcade [n.d., c.1850].
Coloured lithograph, sheet 384 x 281mm. Light foxing to margins.
Illustrations to Jullien's Bal Masque quadrille, by Alfred Henry Forrester, best known under the name of Alfred Crowquill (1804 - 1872). Louis Antoine Jullien (1812 -1860) conducted a series of winter season promenade concerts at the Covent Garden Theatre, which were highly successful; and on March 4th, 1844, the first bal-masqué given in England in the 19th century took place at Covent Garden under his auspices. In 1822 Forrester wrote for the Hive and in 1823 for the Mirror. He next applied himself to the study of drawing and modelling, as well as to wood and steel engraving. He was also the writer of burlesques, drew pantomimic extravaganzas for the pictorial papers, and exhibited pen-and-ink sketches in the miniature room of the Royal Academy in 1845 and 1846. For a time he contributed sketches to ‘Punch,' where his work will be found in vols. ii. iii. and iv., and then went over to the ‘Illustrated London News' as a member of the literary and pictorial staff. As a writer and illustrator of his own writings he was very popular; upwards of twenty works came from his pen, many of them being children's books. For some years the London pantomimes were indebted to him for designs, devices, and effects. In 1851 he modelled a statuette of the Duke of Wellington, which he produced a fortnight before the duke's death and presented to Queen Victoria and the allied sovereigns. At the time when he originally started as an artist there was not much competition, and he consequently found constant work. His works have enjoyed a considerable amount of popularity.

Mezzotint on india laid paper, a rare signed engraver's proof, 520 x 390mm (20½ x 15¼"). Crease to image lower right; some loss of india surface below image.
Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour (1848 - 1930), Prime Minister and philosopher. Balfour first made his mark as a philosopher, publishing A Defence of Philosophic Doubt in 1879. He entered politics in 1874 through the patronage of his uncle, Lord Salisbury. He succeeded Salisbury as prime minister in 1902 but was unable to keep together a party divided by issues of Free Trade and Protectionism. He resigned in December 1905. During the First World War, he worked as First Lord of the Admiralty and, from 1916 to 1919, as Foreign Secretary. The Balfour Declaration of November 1917 gave British support to 'the establishment in Palestine of a home for the Jewish people'. Balfour continued in politics until the age of eighty: he had served for twenty-seven years as a member of the cabinet. The oil painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836 - 1912), exhibited 1891, is on display in the Dining Room at Bodelwyddan Castle n Denbighshire, North Wales.

FCG.
Rare colour-printed wood-engraving. Sheet 320 x 210mm (12½ x 8¼").
A satire on the fall of the Liberator Building Society due to massive fraud, with the main perpetrator, Jabez Spencer Balfour (M.P. for Burnley), being flogged with a cat o' nine tails. Two of his conspirators, solicitor H.G. Wright and contractor J.W. Hobbs, watch from prison cells. Balfour (1843-1916) built up the largest building society in the country, with mostly non-conformist investors. However he was lending society funds to property companies to buy properties owned by him. When the swindle was discovered his businesses collapsed owing over £7 million (about £500 million today). However at the time of this satire he was not in custody, but in hiding in Argentina with his mistress. However in just over a year he was tracked down by Inspector Frank Froest of Scotland Yard, kidnapped, brought back to England and sentenced to 14 years hard labour, most of which he served in Portland Prison. 'The Truth' was a newspaper

Etching with hand-colouring, platemark approx 490 x 355mm (19¼ x 13¾"). Central fold as issued; uncut sheet.
View from the harbour in Balasore, which 'offers nothing but the sea to the view'. The letterpress published with the print explains how the sea is 'frequented by different sorts of vessels', including 'large ships from Bombay, Surate, and other parts of the western coasts', schooners from the Ganges From the third volume of Balthazar Solvyns' 'Les Hindoûs'. Solvyns (1760-1824), a Flemish artist who lived in Calcutta from 1791 to 1803, etched a collection of 250 plates documenting various aspects of Calcutta life. The set was first published in Calcutta, where it proved a financial failure, and Solvyns produced another set which he published in Paris after returning to Europe, although again the venture was unsuccessful, probably in part due to its publication at the height of the Napoleonic Wars. Solvyns later returned to Antwerp, where William I appointed him Captain of the Port.
