[Publish'd by J. Wesson Litchfield Street Soho.] [n.d. c.1760.]
Mezzotint. 354 x 254mm (14 x 10"), on watermarked paper. Thread margins.
Portrait of James Harrington (1611-1677), political theorist and philosopher, head and shoulders in an oval wearing a lace collar and hair in long ringlets, after on an oil in the National Portrait Gallery dated c.1635. Despite being a Parliamentarian Harrington has a close association with Charles I, becoming a gentleman groom of the royal bedchamber in 1647, a role he played at both Hurst Castle and Carisbrooke. Parliament hasd him removed in 1649 for refusing to spy on the king. After Charles's execution Harrington started work on 'The Commonwealth of Oceana', a composition of Utopian political philosophy, a metaphor for interregnum England, with its beneficent lawgiver Olphaus Megaletor representing Oliver Cromwell. Despite this, the first edition (1656) was seized at the printers on the orders of Cromwell; Harrington appealed to Elizabeth Claypole, Cromwell's favourite daughter, and it was eventually issued with a new dedication to the Lord Protector.

The prophet Hosea praying by a river, with his son Jezreel fishing by his side.

His marriage represents the breakdown in the relationship between God and the people of Israel. Originally published in a Dutch bible, 'Historiae Sacrae Veteris et Novi Testamenti', the red ruling suggests this example comes from the English edition, 'Figures of the Bible, in wich almost every history of the Holy Scriptures is discribed'.

William Lilly (1602-81), the most important English astrologer of his time, was a great influence on modern fortune telling. He published an annual almanac that sold 30,000 in 1659. In 1652 he published images of a city on fire; he was later called in for questioning by the Parliamentary committee investigating the causes of the Great Fire of London. This portrait was the frontispiece to his 'Christian Astrology' of 1647.

A man plays a musical instrument named "rumbling pot" as onlookers gaze at him admiringly. The instrument was very common in the Netherlands from 16th-19th century. Adam Friedel (1780- death date unknown) was a Danish artist, printmaker and publisher who, after serving in the Napoleonic wars, voluntarily joined the Greek army at the start of the Greek War of Independence, fashioning himself as Danish nobility. He was exposed by a real noble who proved his backstory to be a lie. After spending a year in Egypt he took refuge in London in 1824 where he opened a lithographer's shop. Between 1825 and 1826 Friedel printed and published, both in Paris and London, twenty-four lithographs with portraits of politicians and prominent military figures of the Greek War of Independence. He had drawn the portraits himself, in most cases from nature, while J. Bouvier coloured and lithographed these images. The series was a success and he was awarded for his contributions to the Greek Struggle for Independence with two decorations. For health reasons he travelled around a lot. He travelled to Smyrna and taught at a Greek school. He stayed at the Ottoman Capital during the Crimean War and painted several portraits of various politicians. In 1865 he asked for a pension for his services to Greece however little is known about what happened to him after that and his place and date of death is unknown.

[after John Simpson.]
London: Published March 1st 1854, by Somers & Isaacs, 67 Houndsditch.
Mezzotint. 370 x 285mm (14½ x 11¼"), with large margins.
Admiral Sir Charles John Napier (1786-1860) was a British naval officer whose sixty years in the Royal Navy included service in the Napoleonic Wars, the American War and the 'Hundred Days' War. the Syrian War and a period commanding the Portuguese navy in the Liberal Wars. This portrait was published just as he was given command of the fleet in Baltic campaign of the Crimean War, which turned out to be a poisoned chalice: his Navy career ended when the Admiralty made him the scapegoat when the press raged about the lack of results. An innovator concerned with the development of iron ships, and an advocate of humane reform in the Royal Navy, he was also active in politics as a Liberal Member of Parliament and was probably the naval officer most widely known to the public in the early Victorian Era.

Nausicaa, daughter of King Alcinous and Queen Arete of Phaeacia, about to find Odysseus shipwrecked on the beach. The 2nd century BC writer Agallis attributed the invention of ball games to Nausicaä, most likely because she was the first person in literature to be described playing with a ball. This plate was etched by James Dobie; Charles Oliver Murray etched a scene of Nausicaa after George Dunlop Leslie, so it is a mystery why his signature is here.

William Page (1730-58), highwayman. Using his own map of the roads 20 miles around London, he would drive his carriage out, change his clothes for the robbery, then return to London as an image of respectability. After this robbery he returned to find his phæton and clothes had been stolen. Following the thieves to an inn, he threw his highwayman's clothes down a well, then burst in to accuse them of robbing him, although he did not press charges. Because of his use of disguises he was acquitted several times because witnesses could not recognise him. However he was eventually convicted at Rochester, for robbing Captain Farrington on Blackheath; the magistrate who sentenced him to death was Henry Fielding, the novelist. An illustration from 'The Newgate Calendar'.

The Satyr and Traveller.
Jordaens, Pinx.t. On Stone by F. Sexton.
London, Drawn, Printed & Published at Friedel's Lithographic Establishment, 252, Tottenham Court Road & at the Polytechnic Insitution, 308 Regent Street London. [n.d., c.1838.]
Lithograph. Printed area 370 x 440mm (14½ x 17¼"), with large margins.
A satyr chastises a peasant for blowing on his food, after he had blown on his hands to keep them warm. The satyr says ''I can no longer consider you as a friend, a fellow who with the same breath blows hot and cold". A lithographed version of 'The Satyr and the Peasant', one of several paintings by Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) based on one of Æsop's fables . The Polytechnic Insitution opened in 1838, receiving a Royal charter in 1839; it is now the University of Westminster. Adam Friedel (1780- death date unknown) was a Danish artist, printmaker and publisher who, after serving in the Napoleonic wars, voluntarily joined the Greek army at the start of the Greek War of Independence, fashioning himself as Danish nobility. He was exposed by a real noble who proved his backstory to be a lie. After spending a year in Egypt he took refuge in London in 1824 where he opened a lithographer's shop. Between 1825 and 1826 Friedel printed and published, both in Paris and London, twenty-four lithographs with portraits of politicians and prominent military figures of the Greek War of Independence. He had drawn the portraits himself, in most cases from nature, while J. Bouvier coloured and lithographed these images. The series was a success and he was awarded for his contributions to the Greek Struggle for Independence with two decorations. For health reasons he travelled around a lot. He travelled to Smyrna and taught at a Greek school. He stayed at the Ottoman Capital during the Crimean War and painted several portraits of various politicians. In 1865 he asked for a pension for his services to Greece however little is known about what happened to him after that and his place and date of death is unknown.

Stipple. Sheet 380 x 270mm (15 x 10½"). Collector's stamp of painter Sir Thomas Lawrence lower left. Trimmed within plate, small repaired hole in title edge.
The fourth & fifth children of George, 4th Duke of Marlborough: Lady Charlotte Spencer (1769-1802), later married Rev. Edward Nares; and Lord Henry John Spencer (1770-95), later MP and diplomat, but died of fever in Berlin aged 24. Charlotte is telling Henry's future by reading his palm. In this example the names of the subjects are in small letters just under the image. The British Museum has two apparent later states: the first, dated 1790, has the dedication removed and 'Lord Henry and Lady Charlotte Spencer' as the scratched letter title, engraved around the crest, described as a proof; the second, dated 1791 has the crest removed and the title 'The Young Fortune Teller'. Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) took over as 'Principal Painter in Ordinary to the King' when Joshua Reynolds died in 1792.
Hamilton, p.65, states jumbled. This predates the 1790 of the first state, has the dedication of the second state and has 'Marylebone' added to the publisher's address as per the third.
