Titianus pinxit, Tho: Neale fecit,
Sold by John Overton at the white horse neere the fountaine tavern without Newgate. [n.d. c.1690]
Very rare etching, sheet 380 x 290mm (15 x 11½"), on 17th century watermarked paper. In ink at bottom "By Thos. Neale, a disciple of Hollar". Trimmed within plate and tipped into album paper. Creased and slightly damaged at corners.
Half-length portrait of a man with moustache and long beard wearing a loose gown, and ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which holds a book closed with two clasps, lying on a parapet.

A moon-lit castle with a barge being punted under a bridge. The artist, James Hook (c. 1772 - 1828), became dean of Worcester in 1825. The owner of the original drawing, Lady Charlotte Susan Maria Campbell (1775-1861), became Lady Charlotte Bury after her second marriage. When the 'Diary illustrative of the Times of George IV' was published anonymously in 1838 it was widely believed to be at least based on, if not the actual, diaries kept by her while Lady-in-Waiting to the Princess of Wales, later Queen Caroline. Described as a 'filthy, shameless and execrable work' by the Monthly Review', no one has ever claimed authorship. See Whitman pg 286.

Tombeaux de la Baie de Castries.
Dessiné par Duché-de-Vancy. Gravé par Masquelier. L. Aubert scripsit.
[Paris: L'Imprimerie de la Republique, An V, 1797.]
Engraving. 390 x 560mm, 15½ x 22".
Tombs near Castries Bay in Tartary, named after the French minister of marine who had sent La Perouse on his mission. In 1785 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse (1741-88) was sent by the French to continue Cook's exploration work in the Pacific, in the ships 'Astrolabe' & 'Boussole'. After three years, during which time he visited Chile, California, Alaska, Kamchatka, the Philippines, Japan and Hawaii, he travelled to Australia. Outside Botany Bay he met up with Captain Arthur Phillip's First Fleet, after which he set sail and was never seen again, despite an extensive rescue mission. Fortunately La Pérouse took every oportunity to send his work back to France: one crew member disembarked in Kamchatka and spent a year crossing Siberia back to France; later journals, charts and letters he left with the British at Botany Bay. Thus his discoveries were not lost with him, but published posthumously in this work, 'Voyage de la Perouse autour du monde..'.
