Jaq.___The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloo; With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side; His youthful hose well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice Turning again toward childish treble, pipes and Whistles in his sound: [&] Seventh Age. Jaq.___Las scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history. Is second childishness, and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

She was teaching at the Paris opera in 1860. [&] Carolina Rosati, one of the great dramatic dancers of the mid-19th century, she was the highest paid dancer ever at the Paris Opera. [&] Amalia Ferraris, one of Paris Opera Ballet’s main stars. [&] Zina Richard, in Marco Spada, performed at the Paris Opera in 1857, chosen because it provided two strong female roles for the Paris Opera Ballet’s main stars. Carolina Rosati and Amalia Ferraris. [&] Louise Marquet, also in Marco Spada, as a minor soloist. [&]Louise Marquet as an Indian temple dancer. [&] Louise Fiocre, as Cupid, in the opera Pierre de Médicis at the Paris Opera in 1860. [&] Julie Cassegrain, performing also in the Paris Opera Ballet production of Marco Spada. [&] Célestine Emarot, mother to Emma Livry. [&] Emma Livry in the opera by Félicien David, produced at the Paris Opera in 1858; tragically in 1862, she died from burns received when her flimsy ballet dress caught fire during a rehearsal. [&] Caroline Lassiat, a minor soloist in the 1857 Paris Opera production of Marco Spada. [&] Adelina Plunklett, following in the footsteps of Fanny Essler; versions of La Mañola were also danced by Fanny Cerrito. [&] Mlle Vibon as a minor dancer at the Paris Opera in the 1850s.

This collection features artists from the time it was under the title of Académie Impériale de Musique and thus featured music that highlighted events and challenges faced by the Second Empire, led by Napoleon III. Marco Spada, for example was a splendid piece of French Second Empire nonsense, featuring bandits, kidnapped heroines, lovers’ misunderstandings, a rejected suitor who in a fit of pique agrees to marry someone he doesn’t love and a bandit chief’s daughter, freed to marry her lover when it transpires she was adopted.

Ten lithographs in original wrappers, sheets each approx 365 x 270mm (14¼ x 10½"). Collector's stamp of [?]Paul and Véronique Sanchez on verso of each (probably variant of L.3289.
Ten lithographs of 20? after drawings by Théodore Géricault (1791 - 1824) and published shortly after his death. Subjects include military and oriental costume studies, fighting bulls, the philosopher Helvetius presenting his son to Voltaire, and a fragment of Michelangelo's 'Last Judgment'. After Géricault's death at the age of 32, his works were auctioned in a sale which contained around 220 paintings and an estimated 1600-1800 drawings and watercolours. Géricault sold very little in his lifetime, and so he owned most of his work at the time of his death. The drawings reproduced here were probably purchased at the auction by Blaisot. While he had little financial success in his lifetime, Géricault's postuhumous influence was on the likes of Delacroix and Courbet was great.

The Dancing Lesson [set of four]
Etch.d by G Cruik_k.
Pub.d July 8th 1822 by G. Humphrey, 27 St James's St, London. [Pt 2. March 6th 1824 by Humphrey; Pts 3 & 4. March 1 1825..]
Four coloured etchings. Each sheet approx. 125 x 165mm (5 x 6½"). Trimmed to border and laid on album paper in a strip, concertinaed into a leather pouch with facsimile of Cruikshank's signature.
Four fine coloured etchings published over a period of four years, showing a dancing master instructing children while accompanying them on the violin. Etched by George Cruikshank (1792-1878). The son of a notable satirist (who died following a drinking match when George was only 19, leaving him as the family breadwinner), Cruikshank was a prolific and celebrated caricaturist from an early age. Alongside contemporaries such as Rowlandson and Gillray, he ridiculed the excesses of late Georgian Britain with devastating effectiveness (George IV eventually paid him 'not to caricature His Majesty in any immoral situation'). These prints date from the time when Cruikshank left behind political satire and moved into humorous book illustration.

[Six scenes from the French Revolution] [Masssacre in Lyon; Condorcet committing suicide; Cecilia Renaud condemned to death; Loiserolles taken by Robespierre's men; The Pacification of the Vendée; The Sitting of the Council of Five Hundred]
[engraved by Giacomo Aliprandi after Jean Duplessi-Bertaux, Francisco Vieria, 'Drevet' and 'Fragonard', 1803-4]
Six stipples, each sheet approx. 350 x 445mm (13¾ x 17½"). Trimmed inside platemarks, false margins added, and folded through centre; collector's stamp of Reverend J. Burleigh James verso of all.
Series of French Revolutionary subjects, which while bearing English text and London publication dates were probably produced in Italy (Giacomo Aliprandi, for instance, is not known to have worked in England). Aliprandi's prints were copied after stipples by artists such as Bartolozzi, and presented as published in England (with the names of imaginary French artists in some cases) to capitalize on the vogue for English prints. Once in the collection of Reverend J. Burleigh James of Knowbury Park, Shropshire. An important collector of prints of all schools and periods, James' collection of prints by Rembrandt and Dürer was particularly notable.

Eight etchings with hand colour. Each c. 245 x 345mm (9¾ x 13½"). Each plate trimmed to plate top and bottom.
On 1st August 1814 a series of events celebrating both the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the centenary of Hanoverian rule in England. In St James's Park a Chinese bridge with a pagoda was built over the lake; in Green Park a revolving Temple of Concord was constructed by Sir William Congreve (of rocket fame); and in Hyde Park naval battles with miniature frigates were fought (the 'Nile' and 'Trafalgar' against the French and a third against the Americans, a reminder that Britain was still fighting the War of 1812). The battles were successful events: however the pagoda in St James's Park was set alight by fireworks, killing one and injuring another; and the balloon ascent, by James Sadler (1753-1828, the first English balloonist) did not go as planned and he had to make an emergency landing.

Jn.o Spyers del.t et etch'd. F. Jukes Aqua.t Fecit.

Rare complete set of six numbered aquatints. Each c. 205 x 280mm (8 x 11") very large margins. First plate with crease and ink spotting.
A series of views of the exterior of Hampton Court Palace, drawn by John Spyers (c.1731-98).

While Brown was Chief Gardener at Hampton Court Spyers compiled two albums of watercolours of the palace and Bushy Park which Catherine the Great of Russia purchased for 1,000 roubles in 1778. The albums were rediscovered at the beginning of this century and were loaned to Hampton Court for an exhibition in 2016. Spyers publishing this set and a similar series of local gentlemen's houses in 1786, both aquatinted by Francis Jukes (1747-1812). When he died (in apartments at the palace) he was described as 'Surveyor of Hampton Court'.
