[n.d., c.1725.]
Rare copper engraving, 255 x 330mm (10 x 13 ") Trimmed to plate on 2 sides. Small margins on left & right.
Louis Dominique Garthausen (1693-1721), better known as Cartouche, shown chained in his cell after an escape attempt. He was the leader of a band of over 2000 brigands (many ex-soldiers) operating in and around Paris during the regency of Philippe d'Orléans. A Robin Hood character, his exploits (including stealing 1.3 million livres of shares in John Law's Mississippi Company) and seductions made him a folk hero. The authorities resorted to torturing known associates for information, eventually getting a member of the band to betray him. Cartouche was arrested, tortured to no avail, then broken on the wheel.

In 1772 he returned to London with five Inuit to exhibit, four of whom died of smallpox. The fifth, a woman called Qavvik, returned home in 1773 taking the disease with her: less than a year later Cartwright noted that ''The Inuit of southern Labrador were almost entirely wiped out by the disease". In 1786 Cartwright returned to England for good and published his diary, 'A Journal of Transactions and Events during a Residence of nearly Sixteen Years on the Coast of Labrador', to which this is an illustration.

Second Edition with Improvements.
London. Printed for John Cary, Engraver, Map & Printseller, Strand. 1st Jan.y 1791. [&] London: Printed for John Cary, No. 181 Strand, 1802 [-3].
Two works in one; 8vo (180 x 120mm, 7 x 4¾"), original full diced calf travelling case with empty pockets front and back. 'Companion': engr. title, pp. (iv)+(6)+(2)(ads); index map, 42 maps printed back to back, 1 folding map. 'Itinerary': engr. title & dedication; pp. (iv)+(1)(ad)+868+(2)(ads). All maps with original hand colour. With the bookplate of Henry Pakenham-Mahon of Strokeston Park. Binding with tear to flap, some wear and fading. Folding map of Yorkshire with tear on fold; two folding maps of 'Itinerary' both trimmed to allow opening of segments, one segment loose, with tears on folds.
An unusual travelling edition of two works by John Cary. The 'Traveller's Companion' has a map of England and Wales, 41 counties and maps of North & South Wales. The 'Itinerary' has two road maps of England & Wales, with extensive indexes of the roads. The adverts list some of Cary's maps, with one page dedicated to his globes. The empty pockets in the covers would most likely contain larger folding maps not called for in either the 'Companion' or 'Itinerary'. Henry Pakenham-Mahon (1851-1922) was an amateur photographer: in 2012, a collection of 324 of his glass plates was uncovered at Strokestown Park including several explicit images of live models. Strokestown (in County Roscommon, Ireland) is now home to the National Irish Famine Museum. Henry's grandfather was Denis Mahon, whose responce to a rent strike by his tenants at Strokestown was to evict them and force them to sail to Quebec in 1847, filling four ships. When news came back to Ireland that nearly half the passengers had died on route (primarily from cholera) Mahon was ambushed and shot dead, to general celebration.

[Engraved by Charles Turner.]

Coloured transparency, fine mezzotint with etching. 240 x 280mm (9½ x 11"). Varnish leeching into title and publication area. Small margins.
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.
