The Reverend Joseph Hallett Batten (died October 11, 1837) was principal of the East India Company College. John Linnel was an English painter who made a good living as a fashionable portraitist, but preferred to paint landscapes. He gave up portraiture in the 1840's and moved to Redhill to devote his career to his landscapes. These paintings were highly desired and caused Linnel to amass a great deal of wealth. However, he was not favored among his colleagues and was denied membership to the Royal Academy.

The Capture Of Atlanta, Georgia, Sep.t 2.D 1864. By the Union Army, under Major Gen.l Sherman. On the 30.th August, the Union Army, by the masterly strategy of Gen.l Sherman, made a rapid flank movement, cutting the Rail Road south of the City, attacking the rebels at Jonesboro, and capturing their guns and defences there. Hood, the rebel commander, finding himself completely outgeneraled, set fire to his stores, blew up his magazines, and "skedaddled." Gen.Slocum with the 20th Corps occupied the place and thus in the thrilling words of Sherman, "Atlanta is ours and fairly won.!!

Founded by Nathaniel Currier (1813 –88), the company designed and sold inexpensive, hand painted lithographic works based on news events, views of popular culture and Americana.

An army of bears storm a hill defended by frogs with cannon, bayoneting and shooting some as others hop into a pond to escape.

The BM has two examples, one matching this state, and another with a different title ('Im Belles Ferro Ceciderunt Igne Robusti') and joke signatures, from the Lennox-Boyd collection, as this example. The collector's stamp, a blind-stamped Napoleonic Bee, is that of William J. Latta of Philadelphia, a collector of Napolionic prints, who began his collection c.1880, sold it Anderson Galleries, New York, in four sales 1913-4. Lugt (L.2825) says of the collection that it ''was reputed to be the most beautiful of its kind in the world. The portraits were remarkable for the beauty of the prints and the rarity of the states; the series of caricatures was particularly comprehensive''.

Associated with the seventh of the nine Cape Frontier Wars (1846-1847), known as the 'war of the axe'. Like the six previous wars, it was between the Xhosa people and European settlers. The Xhosa forces were far greater than those of the imperial British troops, and by this time they had replaced their traditional weapons with modern firearms. It was their new use of guns that made the Xhosa considerably more effective in fighting the British. On 28 May, a force of 8,000 Xhosa attacked the last remaining British garrison, at Fort Peddie, but fell back after a long shootout with British and Fengu troops. The Xhosa army then marched on Grahamstown itself, but was held up when a sizeable army of Ndlambe Xhosa were defeated on 7 June 1846 by General Somerset on the Gwangu, a few miles from Fort Peddie.

Plan of Malplaquet, the bloodiest battle of the eighteenth century, fought during the war of the Spanish Succession (1701-14). The Allies, under Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy, beat the French, but, having 21,000 dead to the French army's 11,000, it was a pyrrhic victory. The losses prompted the English Tory party to begin agitating for a withdrawal from the war.

The Battle of Prague, fought on the 6th of May 1757 between the Prussian Army, commanded by ye King & Marshall Schwerin, & the Austrian Army, commanded by Marshal Brown. The King of Prussia entered Bohemia, and was joined by Marshal Schwerin on the 5th of May 1757, when his Armyu consisted of 80,000 Men, with which he attacked & defeated the whole combined Austrian Force, amounting to 100,000 Men, commanded bu Marshall Brown, This memorable Battle was fought near Prague, on the 6th of May. The Austrians were posted in a Campo almost inaccessible. The Prussians had Morasses to pass, Precipices to climb, and Batteries to face: but the Presence of the King animated his Troops, who attacked the Austrian Camp; and after a very long and obstinate Engagement, and many signal Examples of Valour, obtained a most glorious & Decisive Victory. The Austrians abandoned the Field of Battle, leaving behind them 240 Canon, all their Baggage, and Tents, They had 20,000 Men killed and wounded; and 10,000 taken Prisoners. The Prussians lost only 4000 Men but Marshal Schwerin fell amoung the Slain. The left Wing of the Austrian Army fled into Prague, where Marshal Brown died of his Wounds; and the Rest of the Austrians retired towards Moravia. His Prussian Majesty immediatley invested and besieged Prague, which was soon relieved by Marshal Daun. Reference.

The Prussian Cavalry soon entirely routed that of the Enemy whose Infantry was then attacked and defeated by that of the Purssians. The Battle lasted about an Hour and half, and the combined Army fled on all sides before five, The Fugitives were favoured by the Night, which gave them an Opportunity of retiring towards Freyburg, and afterwards over the Unstrut to Erfert, where they were pursued till the 9th The combined Army had 3000 Men killed on the Field of Battle, and upwards of 6000 were taken Prisoners, amoung whom were 8 French generals and 250 Officers of Different Ranks: they also lost 63 Cannon, 15 Standards, 7 Paiof Colours, and 300 Baggage Waggons.

The Battle of Rossbach (November 5, 1757) took place during the Seven Years' War (1756 - 1763) near the village of Rossbach, then in Prussian Saxony. Frederick the Great defeated the allied armies of France and the Holy Roman/Austrian Empire. This battle is considered one of his greatest masterpieces due to his element of complete surprise and destroying an enemy army with negligible casualties.

A follow on from the riot that began at temple bar; numerous merchants, bankers, and others, set out from the City, to present an address, opposing Wilkes, to the King at St James's, but on arriving they were confronted by a threatening mob who closed the gates by force, and thus prevented the deputation from proceeding. Some more determined opponents to Wilkes managed to get through to the Palace and present their address, but not without difficulty and it was with this that the palace had to call out the troops.

London, Published Jan.y 1 1806 by R. Bowyer, Historic Gallery Pall Mall.
Coloured aquatint. Sheet 475 x 715mm (18¾ x 28"). Trimmed inside platemark, repairs, few creases.
The Battle of the Nile (or Aboukir Bay), fought between the British and French navies on the Mediterranean Coast off Egypt from 1-3 August 1798, which resulted in a decisive victory for the British under the command of Lord Nelson. This print shows the decisive moment when the French flagship 'Orient' (in the centre of the image) caught fire. The British, observing this, directed their cannon fire into the blaze, spreading the flames and preventing French efforts to extinguish the fire. The other ships seen here, both French and British, then moved away from the 'Orient' in anticipation of the huge explosion which took place once the fire reached the ship's magazines.

Henry Edward Kendall junior (1805-85) was a pupil of his father of the same name, who designed hospitals and workhouses and lived to be 98. Before the son went into independent practice, the two worked together and both were founder-members of what became the RIBA. He designed some large country houses, including one for the exiled Empress Eugénie at Farnborough, Hampshire, as well as parsonages, schools (on which he produced a book of designs) and churches. Among these was the chapel of the County Lunatic Asylum, later St Francis Mental Hospital, near Haywards Heath. He was District Surveyor for Hampstead from 1844 and in his final years was assisted by his nephew, Frederick Mew.
