M. van Ogg Lith.o.
Printed and Sold by S. Vowles, 3 St Michael's Abbey, Cornhill [n.d., c.1824].
Rare coloured lithograph. Sheet 235 x 245mm (9¼ x 9¾"). Trimmed and mounted in album paper.
A depiction of the Columbus, a four-masted barque which was the largest ship ever built at the time. Built by Charles Wood, it was basically a raft, designed to carry large tree trunks for use as masts across the Atlantic, and to be dismantled after one voyage and its timbers sold for reuse. Her first crossing took three months, but instead of being dismantled her owners sent her back, but she was wrecked in the English Channel on 17 May 1825. An even larger version, 'The Baron of Renfrew' was wrecked the following year, making such vessels uninsurable.

H.M. Brigantine, Dolphin, 3 Guns.
H. John Vernon, del. et lith. Day & Haghe Lithrs to the Queen.
London, Published by W. Foster, 114, Fenchurch St. [n.d., c.1852.]
Rare tinted lithograph with hand colour. Image 195 x 275mm (7¾ x 10¾"). Gallery label stuck on reverse.
'Dolphin' , 319 tons, launched at Sheerness Dockyard in 1836, was assigned to anti-slavery patrols, on the West African coast from September 1837 to October 1842, on the south-east coast of America May 1843 to March 1847, then back to Africa September 1847 until at least 1854. From 1861 to 1871 it was in Customs service at home and it was broken-up in 1894. Although there is no accompanying information, it has been suggested the scene shows 'Dolphin' taking the American slaver 'Mary Adeline' off the Congo in 1852, with the brig opening fire on a schooner whose mizzen driver is collapsing. However this does not tally with the only report in English newspapers for 1852, which told how 'Dolphin' saved 'Mary Adeline' from looting by the locals when it ran aground in the mouth of the Congo on 19 June. Certainly in this view 'Dolphin' is firing on the schooner.

Hh [monogram of Henricus Hondius].
[n.d., c.1620.]
Engraving. Sheet 165 x 115mm (6½ x 4½"). Trimmed and laid on album paper.
Robert Estienne (1503-59), latinised as Robertus Stephanus, a classical scholar and printer of Paris.

Rare engraving. Sheet 190 x 280mm (7½ x 11"). Binding folds, repaired tear top left.
A scene of the hanging, drawing and quartering of 'conspirators against the person of the king of England', probably the Monmouth rebels of 1685, against James II. From the offset on the reverse, this is likely to have been published in the 'Europische Mercurius', a Dutch newspaper. After the Glorious Revolution of 1688 any adverse view of James was widely disseminated.

Lithograph. Printed area 265 x 445mm (10½ x 17½") large margins. Repaired tear on left, laid on restorer's paper.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Western, launched in 1837, was the first steamship purpose-built for the Atlantic crossing. Her maiden voyage, completed on 23 April 1838, was the fastest crossing up to that time. On this 1846 Liverpool to New York run she ran into bad weather. On the 19th (not the 9th) September the sails had to be pulled in but were lost anyway. Water got into the engine room and had to be pumped out. Waves broke the ice house (containing about eight tons of ice) from its deck fastenings, along with two lifeboats. The port paddle box (covering the upper half of the paddle wheel) was smashed and a splinter struck the captain in the head. A wave crashed over the ship and drenched the passengers sheltering in the saloon. Captain Mathews said to a passenger afterwards that ''Thrice on deck I thought destruction inevitable'' but because the engines never failed the Great Western survived the storm.
