The Rev:d D:r Dodd.
[Engraved by J.R. Smith?]
London, Pub.d May 24, 1777, by J. Walker, N.13, Parliament Street.
Mezzotint, sheet 355 x 255mm (14 x 10"), with large margins. Left platemark cracked.
The Rev. William Dodd (1729 - 1777), parson and author who was hanged for forgery. In February 1777 he offered a bond for £4,200 in the name of Lord Chesterfield to a stockbroker named Robertson. Robertson procured the money, for which, according to Dodd, Chesterfield would pay an annuity of £700. Dodd then brought the bond apparently signed by the earl. The bond was transferred to the lender's solicitor, who noticed some odd marks on the document, saw the earl personally, learned that the signature was a forgery, and instantly obtained warrants from the lord mayor against Dodd and Robertson. Despite attempts to obtain a pardon, especially by Dr. Johnson, who composed several papers for him, Dodd was sentenced on 26 May and hanged in June. Traditionally attributed to John Raphael Smith (1751=1812).

Two bust portraits set in ovals, published in the series, the 'Histories of the Tête à Tête annexed', which appeared in 'Town and Country Magazine', a monthy magazine which featured articles on the scandals and romantic affairs of the nobility. According to George: ''This appears to be an account of Bamber Gascoyne, but Sir C------ G------ [Crisp Gascoyne], his father, is here alluded to as his grandfather. There are allusions to his services as a Commissioner of 'a certain great board' (the Admiralty), and to the hospitality of his villa in Essex [Bifrons]. Miss C------m is said to be the natural daughter of a late Irish peer of that name, educated at a capital boarding school in Kensington, and to have been drugged and seduced by Lord B. When she was about to be discarded, she met the Bon Vivant who made her a settlement.''

While Brown was Chief Gardener at Hampton Court Spyers compiled two albums of watercolours of the palace and Bushy Park which Catherine the Great of Russia purchased for 1,000 roubles in 1778. The albums were rediscovered at the beginning of this century and were loaned to Hampton Court for an exhibition in 2016. Spyers publishing this set and a similar series of local gentlemen's houses in 1786, both aquatinted by Francis Jukes (1747-1812). When he died (in apartments at the palace) he was described as 'Surveyor of Hampton Court'.

[Hollyhocks.]
March 10 1857. G Baxter Proprietor and Patentee London. [after Bartholomew Valentine.]
A fine Baxter print, with vibrant colour. Image 370 x 265mm (14½ x 10½"), on backboard. Backboard stained at edges.
A group of Hollyhocks after Valentine Bartholomew (1799-1879), 'Flower Painter in Ordinary to the Queen' from 1837. His 'Azaleas ' and 'Camellias' are in the Victoria & Albert Museum. A fine example of a Baxter print, in which oil-based paints were printed from multiple woodblocks over an etched or aquatint outline. Despite the fine results the process was soon superceded by chromolithography, which was much more cost-effective.

General Williams and his Staff leaving Kars. Painted by T.J. Barker, as companion to ''The Allied Generals Before Sebastopol".
Published by John Garle Browne, Leicester, the sole owner of the Picture.
Rare lithographic keyplate. 530 x 640mm (20¾ x 25¼"), laid on board for hanging under the original print. A little wear.
The keyplate to the print ''Sir Fenwick Williams and the Officers of his Staff parting with the citizens of Kars'', engraved by Charles George Lewis (1808-60) after Thomas Jones Barker (1815-82), with an index of 38 people and places. The original painting, ''The Capitulation of Kars, 26 November 1855'', is now in the National Army Museum. The Siege of Kars (June 1855) was the last major operation of the Crimean War. The Russians attacked the most important fortress of Eastern Anatolia, which was defended by Ottoman troops led by Canadian general William Fenwick Williams (1800-83). Williams managed to galvanise the dispirited garrison and repulse three major Russian attacks, but eventually cold, famine and an outbreak of cholera forced it to surrender, after which they were allowed to march out with the honours of war and into captivity.
