The Centurion Cornelius. From an Original Picture brought to this Country by M Bryan Esq. And when the Angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually And when he had declared all these things unto them he sent thme to Joppa. Acts. Chap.r X Verse 7 & 8.
Painted by Rembrandt. Engraved by Ja.. Ward Painter & Engraver to his R.H. the Prince of Wales.
London: Pub. April 10 1800 by Mess.rs Wards & Co. No. 6 Newman Street.
A large mezzotint. 585 x 660mm (23 x 26"). Thread margins, 2 tears through inscription area and top edge. Very light foxing.
Cornelius, following a vision of an angel, summons 'two of his household servants, and a devout soldier' in order to send them to Joppa to fetch the apostle Peter (Acts X: 1-8). The painting has also been seen as showing the parable of the Unmerciful Servant, in which a servant is forgiven for his debts by a king, but fails to show the same leniency to a fellow servant. The painting (London, Wallace Collection) is no longer believed to be by Rembandt, although its authorship is disputed.

A portrait of the SS Ceylon, a single-screw, iron-hulled auxiliary steamer, at sea. Built by P&O in 1858 for use on the regular service from Southampton to Malta and Alexandria, the ship was sold in 1881 to the 'Inter-Oceanic Steam Yachting Company Limited', who advertised a round-the world cruise later that year, believed to be the first to be offered commercially. However, even after a refit to improve the luxury, it proved impossible to entice enough people to take a long cruise for fun and the IOSYC went into receivership. The 'Ceylon' was sold, to be bought by the Regent Street Polytechnic (noew Westminster University) and used for educational cruises, mostly to Norway and the Baltic until 1907.

Engraving. 560 x 432mm. 22 x 17". Some small tears around in edges. Stain to top right-hand corner.
Admiral Sir Henry Ducie Chads, GCB (1788-1868) was an officer in the British Royal Navy who saw action from the Napoleonic Wars to the Crimean War. He entered the Royal Naval Academy at 12 years of age, and in 1803 embarked aboard the 74-gun ship of the line HMS Excellent, sharing in the defence of Gaeta and the capture of Capri. He later distinguished himself at the occupation of the Île de la Passe, gateway to the Île de France. In 1823, he was prominent in the expedition against Rangoon, as a result of which he was made Post Captain, created C.B. and received the thanks of the Government of India, and praise in the British House of Commons. In 1841-5 he was on the Chinese station in command of HMS Cambrian, and then commanded the Royal Navy's gunnery school HMS Excellent. Chads reformed the whole system of naval gunnery, both as regards weight of metal and rapidity of fire. He was promoted Rear Admiral in 1854 and was third in command of the fleet sent to the Baltic under Sir Charles Napier, who claimed that Chads ‘knew more about gunnery than any man in the service'. He was one of the leaders in the bombardment and capture of the fortress of Bomarsund. He struck his flag in 1855, and as a reward for his services was created a K.C.B. From 1856 to the end of 1858, he held the command-in-chief in Ireland and in 1865 was created G.C.B. and received the Admiral's good service pension.
