Lord Charles Beresford.
From a Photograph by the London Steroscopic Co. Maclure & MacDonald, Chromo Lith. London.
The Pictorial World. Supplement to the New Series. December 16th 1882.
Chromolithograph. 626 x 416mm.
Charles William de la Poer Beresford, 1st Baron Beresford GCB GCVO (1846-1919), known as Lord Charles Beresford until 1916, was a British Admiral and Member of Parliament. He combined the two careers of the navy and a member of parliament, making a reputation as a hero in battle and champion of the navy in the House of Commons. He was a well-known and popular figure who courted publicity, widely known to the British public as "Charlie B". He was considered by many to be a personification of John Bull, indeed was normally accompanied by his trademark, a bulldog. His later career was marked by a longstanding dispute with Admiral of the Fleet Sir John Fisher, over reforms championed by Fisher introducing new technology and sweeping away traditional practices. Fisher, slightly senior to Beresford and more successful, became a barrier to Beresford's rise to the highest office in the navy. Beresford rose to occupy the most senior sea commands, the Mediterranean and Channel fleets, but failed in his ambition to become First Sea Lord.

Published Feb. 17th 1794, by John Fairburn, No.146 Minories London.
Mezzotint engraving, 660 x 455mm. Vertical crease breaking mezzotint surface lower right edge of plate.
George Cranfield Berkeley (1753 - 1818), admiral, entered the navy in 1766 on board the Mary yacht, under the flag of his cousin, Rear-admiral Keppel, then appointed to carry over to Denmark the unfortunate Caroline Matilda. Young Berkeley was for some time the queen's page, and was afterwards appointed to the Guernsey, 50 guns, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore Pallisser, then going out as governor of Newfoundland. Here he had the peculiar advantage of instruction from Mr. Gilbert, then master of the Guernsey, and afterwards of the Resolution with Captain Cook, and assisted him in the survey of the coast of Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In 1812 he retired altogether from active, and indeed from public life; for twenty-seven years (1783 - 1810) he had represented Gloucestershire in parliament, and had been a persistent supporter of Pitt, and an uncompromising opponent of the Addington ministry.

Militia galantry - or The Soldiers cowardly retreat to save his Bacon; at the expence of his fair Inamorata.

Pub.d 1821 by S.W. Fores Piccadilly corner of Sackville Street.
Coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾") very large margins.
Between signs pointing to Cheltenham and Gloucester, a woman kneels at the feet of Col. Berkeley, a tall handsome man in regimentals, wearing a plumed cocked hat. He holds a flag inscribed Letters to Amuse the Public expose the Writer and save my Pocket; on this hangs a letter-file on which papers are spiked. She begs ''In Pity don't Expose me!''. He says ''They will save me thousands''. A coach of onlookers comment, including ''Where's the Honor of a Soldier and Faith there is none in this''. William Berkeley (1786-18570, 1st Earl FitzHardinge, was sued by coach proprietor John Waterhouse for ''Criminal conversation'' with Waterhouse's wife. Despite the attempts satirised here, Waterhouse was awarded £1000 damages at Gloucester Assizes. The scandal did not stop Berkeley becoming Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire in 1836.

Napoleon, surprised by a violent storm in Berlin, sheltered in a house occupied by an Egyptian woman who was the widow of an officer.

Napoleon later told his officers that it was the first time he had to seek shelter from a storm, but he had felt that a good deed awaited him there.

Napoleon, surprised by a violent storm in Berlin, sheltered in a house occupied by an Egyptian woman who was the widow of an officer. Napoleon gave her a pension of 1200 f, and supported the education of her son. Napoleon later told his officers that it was the first time he had to seek shelter from a storm, but he had felt that a good deed awaited him there.

The City of Berlin.~Le Ville de Berlin.

Engraving on 18th century watermarked paper. Sheet 270 x 450mm (7¾ x 17¾"). Trimmed at top. Small margins other three sides
At this time Berlin was the capital of Prussia. The seat of the electors of Brandenburg (after 1701, kings of Prussia) from 1486, Berlin suffered from the Thirty Years War (1618-48), but the reign of Frederick William (1640-88), the Great Elector, restored and improved the city. Occupied in the Seven Years War by Austrian (1757) and Russian (1760) troops and in the Napoleonic Wars by the French (1806-8), Berlin emerged from the conflicts as a center of German Culture, rivalling Vienna.

[Raimondini. n.d., c. 1760.]
Coloured engraving, 325 x 430mm. 12¾ x 17". Faint central crease. Time stained.
A vue d'optique of the Royal hospital for injured soldiers in Berlin. Vues d’optique are hand-colored etchings and engravings intended to be viewed through a convex lens. The devices, known variously as zograscopes, optiques, optical machines and peepshows, were an optical entertainment of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Vues d’optiques were rendered in high-key color and dramatic linear perspective, which enhanced the illusion of three-dimensionality when viewed through the lens.
