A head and shoulders portrait of Rev. Alexander Duff (1806-1878), right-gazing.

B [compass monogram (North)] Esq. _del._ [Etched by James Gillray.]
Publish'd November 20th 1804 by H. Humphrey No 27 St James's Street.
Hand coloured etching, pt 1804 watermark. 265 x 385mm (10½ x 15¼"). Trimmed within plate. Small losses to each corner.
A fat elderly man in hunting-cap has dismounted under an oak-tree to have his fortune told by a ragged old gipsy woman, who reads his hand. Meanwhile another gipsy, kneeling beside him, with a child on her shoulders, picks his pocket. Behind to left stands a groom in livery, gaping at the fortune told him by a pretty girl. Behind him a boy leans from a tree to rifle through the portmanteau on his horse. The scene is the edge of a wood; in the distance two huntsmen are galloping. After Brownlow North (1778 - 1829), amateur draughtsman of satires, by James Gillray (1756 - 1815).

A fine portrait of a British naval commander stationed in North America in the build up to the American War of Independence. Captain James Hawker (1730-86) commanded the 'Sardoine' sloop, patrolling the Eastern Seaboard to prevent smuggling.

On 30 January 1766, at the height of the Stamp Act crisis, he had the chief magistrate of Wilmington, Delaware, warn a mob that anyone approaching his ship would be fired on by the marines. In Charleston the following year, a party from 'Sardoine' boarded a suspected smuggling schooner and the populace threatened to use the batteries of Fort Johnson against the 'Sardoine'.

Shakspeare. Second Part of King Henry VI. Act I. Scene IV. Mother Jordain, Hume, Southwell, Bolingbroke & Eleanor.
Painted by John Opie R.A. Engraved by C.G. Playter. And Rob.t Thew.
Published Dec.r 1 1796 by John & Josiah Boydell, at the Shakspeare Gallery, Pall Mall. & No 90 Cheapside London.
Stipple, open letter proof, without lines of verse. 505 x 635mm (20 x 25") very large margins. Small tear in bottom margin. Uncut.
The Conjuration, in which Margery Jourdemayne summons a demon to bring about the death of Henry VI. The other figures are: Eleanor Cobham, Duchess of Gloucester; Roger Bolingbroke, cleric and astrologer; John Hume (or Home), Canon of Hereford and St Asaph and chaplain and secretary to the Gloucesters; & Thomas Southwell, physician and Canon of St Stephen's Chapel in the Palace of Westminster. Shakespeare drew on a real trial for this episode: in 1440 Bolingbroke and Southwell drew up a horoscope for the Duchess that predicted the death of Henry, which meant her husband would succeed to the throne. The group was accused of conspiring to kill the King with necromancy; Eleanor was sentenced to life imprisonment; Bolingbroke was hung, drawn and quartered, his head displayed on London Bridge; and Margery Jourdemayne was burnt at the stake. John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Angelica Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious, and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt

F.W.T. 1818. Transferred & Printed at Moser & Harris's Lithographic Press No. 71 Cromer Street London.
Lithograph on watermarked paper, 'J. Whatman 1817'. 215 x 325mm (8½ x 12¾"). Wide margins, creasing across the sheet.
Landscape with path. Amateur lithograph by the army officer and politician Frederick William Trench (c.1777-1859), whose father owned Heywood, Ballynakill in Queen's County. Trench was also keenly interested in architecture: in 1815 he proposed a vast monument to British naval and military victories over France on the site which became Trafalgar Square, and in 1824 he launched a project for an embankment on the north side of the Thames (in conjunction with which a long print of the project was produced).
For Trench's embankment scheme see refs. 23749, 27468 &c. Ex: The Hon Christopher Lennox-Boyd Collection.

Master Hughes and his Brothers as they appear at their Concerts. Masters Joseph & David Hughes Performing a Duet on One Harp; Master Hughes Performing a Concerto on Two Harps.
London, Published by D'Alma70]
Rare lithograph, printed area 200 x 300mm (8 x 11¾"). Tear in right corner.
Remarkable print of a Welsh family of young virtuosi harpists. Eldest brother, Joseph Tudor Hughes (1827-41), was given a bardic name, ‘Blegwryd’, aged seven and at twelve he published British Melodies, with arrangements made by him for harp and piano. In 1838 he and his family emigrated to Virginia; they toured America, performing at the White House. Joseph drowned in the Hudson River. The second brother, David Edward (1831-1900) became a professor of music at St. Joseph's College, Bardstown, aged 19, but gave up music to be an inventor. In 1855 he patented a printing telegraph: his Hughes Telegraph System became an international standard. He also improved microphones and is believed to have noticed radio waves nearly a decade before they were proven to exist.
