Fine engraving. Plate 445 x 328mm. Sheet 685 x 503mm. Scuffed and some tears around the edge of the sheet.
Sir John Borlase Warren, 1st Baronet (2 September 1753 - 27 February 1822), was an English admiral, politician and diplomat. He entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1769, but in 1771 entered the Royal Navy as an able seaman; in 1774 he became member of Parliament for Great Marlow; and in 1775 he was created a baronet. His career as a seaman really began in 1777, and two years later he obtained command of a ship. In April 1794, as Commodore of the frigate squadron off the north west French coast assisting in the blockade of Brest, Warren and his squadron captured a number of French frigates. In 1795 he commanded one of the two squadrons carrying troops for the Quiberon expedition and in 1796 his frigate squadron off Brest is said to have captured or destroyed 220 vessels. In October 1798 a French fleet, carrying 5000 men, sailed from Brest intending to invade Ireland. The plan was frustrated in no small part due to the squadron under his command. In 1802 he was sworn of the Privy Council and sent to St. Petersburg as ambassador extraordinary, but he did not forsake the sea, and in 1806 he captured a large French warship, the Marengo at the Action of 13 March 1806. He became an Admiral in 1810, and was commander-in-chief on the North American Station in 1813-1814. He died on 27 February 1822.

Latin key explanations to points of interest are set into a decorative cartouche lower left. A vignette portrait of the victorious Charles X Gustav (1622 – 1660), King of Sweden above this.

Polish-Lithuanian losses were insignificant, and even though Swedish forces were able to reoccupy Warsaw, they were forced to abandon it soon afterward.

'Warspite' was built and launched, at Chatham in 1807 as a 74-gun two-decker. After an active career, in the Napoleonic Wars and including service in the Anglo-American 'War of 1812' when she took three U.S. privateers, she was decommissioned in 1815. In 1840 her second remodelling reduced her to a one-deck, 50-gun frigate, as shown here, for service on the home station. Lord John Hay commanded her between 1841 and 1845, visiting New York in 1842 to take Lord Ashburton to negotiate the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. She remained at sea until 1862 when she was loaned to the Marine Society as a boys' training ship. Accidentally burned by fire at Woolwich in 1876, her wreck was subsequently broken up on the Thames.

[Caesar's Tower, Warwick Castle.] 20.
[Caesar's Tower, Warwick Castle.] 20. [Caesar's Tower of Warwick Castle was built by Thomas de Beauchamp in the middle of the fourteenth century (1370). It is built on solid rock, and rises to a height of 150ft. The tower is of peculiar, if not unique, construction, in shape an irregular polygon with rounded outer walls. The basement contains a gloomy dungeon, on whose walls may be seen the drawings and scratchings of the prisoners, which show that even "airless dungeons and iron fetters cannot restrain the spirit." The inner gate is arranged so that blazing pitch or molten metal might be poured on the heads of any invaders attacking the Castle. From the Tower extends the range of buildings containing the hall and the apartments of the Castle. The buildings are the most attractive relics of feudal times to be seen in England to-day.]

[Warwick Castle.] 24.
[Warwick Castle.] 24. [The Castle as it now stands is chiefly a fournteenth century building. The strategic position of Warwick was realised long before the present building was erected, and earthworks may be seen of the fort completed by Ethelgleda, a daughter of Alfred the Great. The Castle has been rebuilt on more than one occasion, and the building as it stands to-day is largely as it was left by Sir Fulke Greville, a direct ancester of the Earl of Warwick. On the right is Beauchamp's Tower, or Guy's Tower, 120 ft. high, which as built by Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. On the left is Caesar's Tower, built a few years earlier. The buildings include the great hall, state rooms and domestic buildings. The hall and the passages around contain fine collections of arms and armous, and in the state rooms are many pictures and works of art, some of considerable value. Sir Walter Scott, viewing the Castle in 1828, called it "the noblest sight in England. The finest monument of ancient and chivalrous splendour that yet remains to us uninjured by time."]

[Guy's Cliffe, Warwick.] 14.
[Guy's Cliffe, Warwick.] 14. [The road from Warwick to Kenilworth passes the Avenue of Guy's Cliffe. The story of Guy, Earl of Warwick, is one of the most popular romances of chivalry. Guy, it is said, left England to fight in Palestine, and returned to perform great feats of valour. Afterwards, instead of accepting the King's favour and returning to his wife, he became a hermit in a cave, and the place became known as Guy's Cliffe. From his cave he walked regularly to Warwick Castle to receive alms from his wife, who was unaware of his identity. Tradition says that he sent for his wife on the point of death, and was buried in the cave. The story may have little claim to the authentice, but the cave is undoubtedly an old one, as is shown by the saxon inscription.]

[Leycester Hospital, Warwick, Outer Porch.] 16.
[Leycester Hospital, Warwick, Outer Porch.] 16. [This Hospital owes its existence to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and dates from the reign of Henry VI. In 1511, the Earl of Warwick took the building over and founded the Hospital to accommodate twelve ex-soldiers or their descendents in succession, from the villages in the surrounding district. The men were provided with blue gowns, with Leicester's badge and a ragged staff, embroidered on the left sleeve. To-day the gowns are worn by the pensioners when they attend church. The Hospital, a very fine example of a timber framed building, stands in a terrace rising abruptly from the roadway to St. James' Chapel, which is built over the arch of the old West Gate. Overhanging the arch entrance gateway is a picturesque gabled storey with the insignia "The Bear and Ragged Staff."]

[Leycester Hospital Quadrangle, Warwick.] 19. [The Quadrangle of the Leycester Hospital is surrounded by panelled Elizabethan buildings. Facing the entrance is the richly ornamented front of the Master's Lodge. On the right is a cloister-like corridor leading to some of the rooms of the pensioners; on the left is the old banqueting hall, now partitioned into small apartments for various domestic purposes. The roof is of well preserved Spanish chestnut, dating from 1830. The upper part of the hall where the minstrel gallery formerly stood is now cut offr and forms the drawing room of the Master's house. On the opposite side of the Quadrangle is the kitchen, which serves as a common room. On its walls is a fine collection of ancient swords and armour, and in it are contained numerous relics including an old chair said to be Saxon, a beautifully carved oak cabinet from Kenilworth Castle, a portion of tapestry from Cumnor Hall (near Oxford) worked by Amy Robsart, and the signature portion of Lord Leicester's will.]

At Warwick Castle The Celebrated Warwick Vase in Marble. [&] Marble Vase from the Antique. [&] Antique Marble Vase.
Engraved by Henry Moses.
[London Published by W.B. Cookes, 9 Soho Square, Oct.r 13.th 1827.]
Three engravings on porcelain card. Sheets 140 x 200mm (5½ x 8''), 135 x 120mm (5¼ x 4¾") & 135 x 125mm (5¼ x 5"). Laid on scrap sheet, some discolouration.
The Warwick Vase is a Roman marble vase with Bacchic ornament, discovered in the silt of a marshy pond at Hadrian's Villa about 1771 by Gavin Hamilton. He sold the fragments to Sir William Hamilton who repaired it with Carrara marble and shipped it to his nephew George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick, who set it on a lawn at Warwick Castle before building a conservatory for it. As a famous piece, a mould was made of it and two full-size bronze replicas were cast, one now in Windsor Castle, the other in the Fitzwilliam Museum. At auction in 1978 the vase was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but after it was declared an object of national importance an export licence was denied. It is now in the Burrell Collection near Glasgow in Scotland.
