[Bear Hunt] Chasse à L'Ours
Peint par Carlo Vanloo. Gravé par J.J. Flipart
A Paris chez Jean rue St. Jean de Beauvais No. 32 [c.1773 bit later]
Engraving, platemark 505 x 370mm (19¾ x 14½"). Large margins.
Two bears attacked by numerous dogs and men (mainly on horseback), while another bear is pursued in the background. Engraving after a painting by Carle Van Loo, originally issued as a pair with a 'Tiger Hunt' after Boucher. The paintings were part of a set of nine then at the Surintendance in Versailles, and it appears that the engraver Flipart having obtained permission to reproduce them, originally intended to publish a larger series (see notes to British Museum cataloguing for the latter).

Machine Infernale dirigee par les Anglais, Pour incendier Saint Malo. ['Details de la Machine' key lettering below image, brief history of use of incendary ships by the English below that.]
Beauble nee Gipoulou, del. Beauble fils. Sculp.
A Paris chez Beauble fils, Graveur de Geographie et d'Ecriture, Rue des Anglais, N.8. [n.d., c.1805.] Depose a la Bibliotheque.
Engraved plan in the form of a cross-section of a ship's hull, 308 x 199mm. Some creasing and soiling to margins.
A French explanation of the English innovation of cramming unmanned merchant ships with incendiaries, used to destroy harbour defences. Admiral John Benbow arrived off St. Malo, a walled port city in Brittany, in the middle of November 1693 and immediately started firing mortars over the wall in to the town and among the sheltering French ships. This continued for three days and on the fourth night he prepared to send in the first Infernal ever used by the Royal Navy. Benbow intended to manoeuvre the barque under the town's sea wall but it struck a rock and the engineers were forced to light the fuses and row for their lives. The vessel burned for some time but eventually blew up. The force of the explosion rocked the town like an earthquake. It blew the roofs off three hundred houses and broke all the glass and earthenware for miles around. The capstan, which weighed two hundred pounds, flew in to the air and, when it landed, completely levelled a house. Large parts of the sea wall collapsed. If Benbow had had a force of Marines he would undoubtedly have been able to take the town. He was given the task of repeating his success at Dunkirk but the Infernal proved less effective and the Admiralty dropped their use.

Beaudesert, on the southern edge of Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, one of the family seats of the Paget family. The estate was broken up in the early 20th century, and demolition of the house began in 1935, but was never completed and some ruins still remain. Plate from Humphry Repton's 'Fragments on the theory and practice of Landscape Gardening', whose plates were engraved from drawings by the great landscape gardener. Repton's last treatise, 'Fragments' charts the break-up of landscape gardening and the society which sustained it, focusing on small flower gardens and ornate gothic buildings rather than the landscape at large. Repton died two years later, in 1818.

Henry Somerset, Marquess of Worcester, [1629-1700] became the First Duke of Beaufort in 1682. Styled as Lord Herbert from 1646 until 1667, he survived the tumultuous and uncertain decades that followed the English civil war by creating remarkable political alliances. While sitting in the Cromwellian Parliament he maintained good relations with the Lord Protector. He was sent to the Tower in 1659 for his part in a Royalist plot and by 1660 was advocating the Restoration. He worked to restore his family's estates and political power base. He also sought to tame political and religious passions and to bring order and stability. Henry, third marquis of Worcester and first duke of Beaufort, was a powerful regional magnate and became an active member of Charles II's Privy Council. He refused to swear allegiance to William of Orange.

Rear Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort, K.C.B. D.C.L. Corr. Mem. Inst. France, F.R.S. Hydrographer to the Navy from 1829 to 1855. From the original Portrait presented to Greenwich Hospital by the Subscribers to the Beaufort Testimonial.
Painted by Stephen Pearce. Engraved by James Scott.
London, Published by Henry Graves & Compy. March 17th. 1857; Printsellers to the Queen__6 Pall Mall.
Fine & rare mezzotint. 540 x 415mm (21¼ x 16½"). Thread margin on left.
Francis Beaufort (1774-1856), naval officer and hydrographer, creator of the Beaufort wind scale. Early in his career at sea Beaufort's gallant record and scientific talents made him well known throughout the navy. In 1817 he published a record of his survey and exploration of the southern Turkish coast (then little known to Europeans). In 1829, at the age of 55, Beaufort became the Hydrographer of the British Admiralty, remaining so for 26 years, charting the seas to make them safe for the increasing amount of British and foreign shipping. Beaufort converted a minor chart repository into the finest surveying and charting institution in the world. Some of his excellent charts are still used, 200 years after he created them.

Frère Jacques Beaulieu. Célèbre Lithotomiste.
Lith. Paul Petit et c.ie.
[n.d., c.1860.]
Scarce lithograph on chine collé. Sheet 170 x 130mm (6¾ x 5") very large margins.
A portrait of Jacques Beaulieu (or Baulot, 1651-1719), an itinerant lithotomist, a surgeon specialising in the removal of calculi like kidney and gall stones. After a short career as a cavalry private, he had a six-year apprenticeship with another travelling surgeon. He travelled around with four assistants, who prepared his patients with cupping and blood-letting, before operating on all of them on the same day, usually leaving as soon as possible to avoid repercussions. From 1690 he donned the robes of a Dominican monk and started calling himself frère, without ordination. In 1697, in a session at the Hôtel Dieu in Paris, he performed a lithotomy in less than a minute and 10 more in less than an hour, with a 53.5% mortality rate while the average at the time was 14%, resulting in a five-year ban from practicing in Paris. He performed around 5,000 lithotomies before retiring in 1711. Based on a life-time portrait.

Philippe Dece Iurisconsulte.
NL.
[n.d. c.1682.]
Engraving. 185 x 132mm. 7¼ x 5¼". Cut.
Philippe de Beaumanoir (c.1247-1296) was a French jurist and royal official. After his studies of law in Orleans, and possibly Bologna, he became bailiff of Clemont in the county of Beauvaisis, then senschal of Poitou and the Saintonge; he managed to hold some very senior positions in the realm. All of this administrative experience helped form the basis to his principal work: "Coustumes de Beauvoisis" of 1283, which was first printed in 1690. This work was later regarded as one of the best works bearing on old French customary law, and was often referred to with high admiration by Montesquieu, who called him "la lumiere de son temps". Published in Isaac Bullart's 'Académie des Sciences et des Arts'.
