[Woman from Tasmania] Femme du Cap de Diemen. Atlas du Voyage à la recherche de la Pérouse, No 6
Piron del Copia sculp. Dien scripsit.
[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving, sheet 450 x 315mm (17¾ x 12½"). Creasing on left.
Plate from 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', compiled by Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière. Labillardière was the botanist on board an expedition led by Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux which in 1791-3 attempted to find Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse, who disappeared in 1788 after setting sail from Botany Bay (Australia). Despite finding no trace of La Pérouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists (and sketches by the expedition's artist Jean Piron) which were published in this book.

Engraving. 305 x 445mm (12 x 17½"). Narrow margins top and bottom.
A 'Black Spotted Parakeet' seen in Tasmania. In 1788 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse set sail from Botany Bay and was never seen again. Despite the upheaval of the French Revolution the National Assembly was moved to send an expedition in search of their lost hero, 1791-3, under Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. Despite finding no trace of La Perouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists, especially in Australia. This account, compiled by the expedition's botanist, Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière, was published as 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', with natural history plates by Redouté and Audebert. The work even has its own abbreviation in botantical literature, 'Voy.Rech.Perouse'.

Plate to the rare folio 'Tasmania Illustrated' by John Skinner Prout (1805 - 1876). Published in two parts, the first with titlepage and twelve views on eleven plates, with six plates forming the second part. The nephew of the artist Samuel Prout, Prout was born in Plymouth in 1806. He travelled to Australia in the late 1830s and arrived in New South Wales in 1840. In 1844 Prout and his family moved to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. On 14 June he announced a course of lectures 'on the cultivation of the fine arts, with practical illustrations'. They were well received and later in the year he published the first volume of Tasmania Illustrated, 'five grouped vignettes of Tasmanian scenes'. By the time the second volume appeared in 1846 Prout had toured the North of the island, where he was 'engaged by several gentlemen for the purpose of sketching their country seats, farms, and the country surrounding them'. He returned to England in 1848 and began exhibiting many of his Australian works in London.

Hand coloured aquatint, 235 x 270mm. 9¼ x 10½".
A horse is inspected by prospective buyers as it goes under the hammer at Tattersalls, to this day the main auctioneer of race horses in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1766 by Richard Tattersall (1724 - 1795), who had been stud groom to the second Duke of Kingston. The first premises occupied were near Hyde Park Corner, in what was then the outskirts of London. Two "Subscription rooms" were reserved for members of the Jockey Club, and they became the rendezvous for sporting and betting men. Among the famous dispersal sales conducted by "Old Tatt" were those of the Duke of Kingston's stud in 1774 and of the stud of the Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV) in 1786. Plate to Volume III of Rudolph Ackermann's 'Microcosm of London', 3 vols., 1808-10. Numbered 'Plate 83.' upper right.

Etching and aquatint with hand-colouring and large margins, J. Whatman 1816 watermark; platemark 215 x 305mm (8½ x 12"). Proof, before printed text 'Tattershall Castle- Lincolnshire. / From an original drawing in the possession of Wm. Brand Esq. of Boston. Nov 1 1812'.
Plate from John Hassell's 'Aqua Pictura. Illustrated by a series of original specimens from the works of...all the most approved modern water coloured draftsmen...' (1813). This volume was an ambitious project containing fifteen plates, each in four states, to illustrate the development of a watercolour from initial drawing to completed work. This print, finished with hand-colouring, replicates the original watercolour by Thomas Girtin. Girtin had died several years previously, but had drawn Tattershall Castle as the basis for an engraving in a series of views in Lincoln, in 1799. The engraver and publisher John Hassell (1767-1825) was also a drawing master, and like several other of his books, 'Aqua Pictura' was designed for educational purposes.
