The Mosque of Sultan Al-Muayyad, a musician and poet, built 1412-21. The 'Madrasa-Khanka' [monastery] of this religious complex was dedicated to Sufis only. The 'Dikka' of decorated wood and ivory, the slender marble columns and the gilded ceilings give a hypostyle plan to the congregational Mosque. The name Roberts gives, 'Metwalyes', refers to the nearby gate 'Bawabbat al-Mitwali', better known as Bab Zuwailah.

O' The Roast Beef of Old England &c. 'Twas at the gate of Calais, Hogarth tells, / Where sad despair and famine always dwells; / A meager Frenchman, Madam Grandsire's cook, / As home he steer'd his carcase that way took [...]
Painted by W. Hogarth
[Published by Robert Sayer, c.1750]
Scarce engraving with letterpress, sheet 490 x 310mm (19¼ x 12¼"). Fold through centre; old repaired tears.
Engraving of William Hogarth's 1748 painting 'O the Roast Beef of Old England' (London, Tate Britain), which Hogarth had himself published as a print. This copy, published by Robert Sayer, has the text of Theodosius Forrest's cantata 'The Roast Beef of Old England' printed beneath the famous image. Forrest, like his father Ebeneezer, was a friend of the artist, and the Hogarth scholar Ronald Paulson regards his text as a 'commentary with some authority' on Hogarth's anti-French satire.

[A North-Wester off Calcutta] Nord Ouest
[by Balthazar Solvyns]
[published Paris, 1811]
Etching with hand-colouring, platemark 490 x 350mm (19¼ x 13¾"). Central fold as issued; uncut sheet.
View to the north-west of Calcutta, documenting on the frequent storms, which take their name from the direction of the wind. The accompanying letterpress described 'a dreadful noise which seems to announce the confusion of all the elements. The clouds thicken, and are torn by continual flashes of lightning; the thunder roars, and torrents of rain often deluge the country...the river then assumes the appearance of a boisterous sea, and sometimes overwhelms the vessels which have not had the prudence to fly for shelter to the creeks or canals'. From the third volume of Balthazar Solvyns' 'Les Hindoûs'. Solvyns (1760-1824), a Flemish artist who lived in Calcutta from 1791 to 1803, etched a collection of 250 plates documenting various aspects of Calcutta life. The set was first published in Calcutta, where it proved a financial failure, and Solvyns produced another set which he published in Paris after returning to Europe, although again the venture was unsuccessful, probably in part due to its publication at the height of the Napoleonic Wars. Solvyns later returned to Antwerp, where William I appointed him Captain of the Port.
