![[Gulf of Boothia.] To His Most Excellent Majesty William IVth, King of Great Britain, Ireland &c.](jpegs/52848.jpg)
[Gulf of Boothia.] To His Most Excellent Majesty William IVth, King of Great Britain, Ireland &c. This Chart of the Discoveries made in the Arctic Regions, in 1829, 30, 31, 32, & 33, is dedicated with His Majesty's gracious permission by His Majesty's Loyal and devoted Subjects, John Ross, Captain Royal Navy, James Clark Ross, Commander Royal Navy.
Published by Capt. Ross R.N. Dec.r 1834.
Engraved map with original hand colour. 465 x 615mm. Binding folds flattened, as normal, narrow right edge.
A map of the discoveries of John Ross and his nephew, John Clark Ross, in the Gulf of Boothia, with five coastal profiles (one lettered upside-down). On an expedition to find the North West Passage Ross was the first European to enter the gulf (although it had been seen by Parry in 1822), naming it after their patron, gin-magnate Sir Felix Booth. They spent the next four years stuck in ice, during which time John Clark Ross became the first European to reach the Magnetic North Pole, then at Cape Adelaide on the Boothia Peninsula. Eventually the crew left their ship and were rescued by a whaler, who thought they had perished two years before. This map was published in Ross's 'Narrative of a Second Voyage in Search of a North-West Passage', 1835.

Born in 1795, John Frederick Herring spent the first eighteen years of his life in London, before moving to Doncaster. In Yorkshire, he married and began to earn his living as a humble painter of inn signs and coach insignia. Sketching equestrian subjects in his spare time, Herring’s talent was quickly noticed and he soon found himself painting hunters and racehorses for local patrons. He lived for a time in Newmarket, and then in London, where he may have been tutored by a well-known artist of the time, Abraham Cooper.

Hanging. Drowning. Fatal Effects of the French Defeat.
[By James Gillray.]
Pub.d Nov.r 9th 1795. by H. Humphrey New Bond Street.
Coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"). Trimmed within plate at top, mounted in album paper at edges. Slight foxing at corners.
Two scenes about the news that the French army on the Rhine had been defeated by the Austrians: on the left the pro-revolution Charles James Fox tries to hang himself; on the right William Pitt the Younger and Henry Dundas celebrate, sloshing wine everywhere. Behind Fox is a portrait of General Jean-Charles Pichegru who, it later transpired, was a secret royalist and had caused the French defeat by betraying the French strategy. In 1803 he plotted a coup against Napoleon, was discovered and was found strangled in his prison cell.
