Two plates illustrating events described in Rapin's History of England. The first shows the aftermath of an assassination attempt on Edward Longshanks, heir to the English throne, in June 1272, during the 8th-9th Crusade. Although he killed his attacker he was weakened by the poisoned blade and could no longer campaign. On his journey home he discovered that his father had died in November: he did not reach England until early August 1274 and was crowned on the 19th. After the death of Eleanor in 1290 Edward marked the route of her funerary procession with the twelve 'Eleanor Crosses', including Charing Cross. The second scene shows Elizabeth Grey asking for the return of the lands of her dead husband, Sir John Grey, who had been killed at the Second Battle of St Albans in 1461, fighting for the Lancastrian cause. Three years later she secretly married the Yorkist Edward IV; her son, Edward V, was deposed by Richard III.

Colour photogravure, ltd edition of 100, signed by the Artist. 220 x 350mm.
Wire-haired Fox Terriers. Maud Alice Earl (1864-1943) was an eminent British-American canine painter. Her works are much enjoyed by dog enthusiasts and also accurately record many breeds. Earl was the born in London, the daughter of artist George Earl and his first wife Alice Beaumont Rawlins. Maud's profession was the continuation of a family tradition. George Earl, an avid sportsman and noted sporting painter, was his daughter's first teacher and had his daughter study the anatomy of her subjects, drawing dog, horse and human skeletons to improve her skill. She later said that her father's instruction had given her ability that set her apart from other dog painters. After her father's tutelage Maud went on to study at Royal Female School of Art (later incorporated into the Central School of Art). Earl became famous during the Victorian Era, a time when women were not expected to make their living at painting. Nevertheless, she developed a select clientele, including Royals amongst her patrons such as Queen Victoria and Queen Alexandra. Although evidently extremely successful in England, Earl felt that the world she knew had been destroyed by World War I and she emigrated to New York City in 1916. By this time her work had received wide international recognition and her popular images were published in a number of books and in print form. The Sportsman's Year featured twelve of Earl's works as engravings. Maud Earl died in New York in 1943 and is buried at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York.

J. Smith pinx 1782 P. M Morland delin 1799 Caroline Watson engraver to her Majesty sculp
Stipple, platemark 240 x 200mm (9½ x 8"). Small margins.
Portrait engraved by Caroline Watson (1760/1-1814), printmaker specializing in the stipple technique, and daughter of the Irish mezzotinter James Watson. Watson was made engraver to the queen in 1785, and was also patronized by the Bute family. While she did not exhibit in public exhibitions, Watson was one of few women who maintained an independent printmaking practice, signing her name rather than working unacknowledged, and seemingly operating a successful business judging from her wealth at the time of her death.

Hordle Church South Side.
M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] Litho. Newlands 1830.
Rare lithograph. Printed area 110 x 180mm (4¼ x 7"), with wide margins. Foxing, mostly to edges.
The ancient church at Hordle, Hampshire around the time the old church was demolished in 1830. As the enclosure of previously common ground led to the town's population moving further north, the old church was demolished and a new one built closer to the new population centre The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).

[Jerusalem Delivered] Tancred and Clorinda. Her clay cold hand, the pledge of lasting peace, She gave the cheif; her lips their music cease.

It concerns the First Crusade to the Holy Land (1096-9) and the Crusaders siege of Jerusalem under the leadership of Godfrey of Boulogne.
