Etching, 17th century watermark; sheet 345 x 460mm (13½ x 18"). Trimmed to image; crease through centre as normal.
Charles II issuing the declaration of Breda, which stated the terms on which he was prepared to return to England as king. The declaration was issued on 4 April 1660, and a little over a month later Charles II was proclaimed king by both houses of parliament in England. Charles II turned down invitations from France and Spain to embark for England from their territory, instead accepting an invitation from the Dutch states general. He sailed from Breda to Delft by yacht, from there to the Hague, and eventually departed for England from nearby Scheveningen on 23 May 1660 (he arrived triumphantly in London six days later). One of six illustrations published in 'Verhael van de Reys van Carel II, Coning van Groot-Brittannië, in Hollandt van 25 Mey tot 2 Junij 1660', a volume published in the Hague in 1660 describing and depicting the king's journey through the Netherlands to England. Engraved after Jacob Toorenvliet (1641-c.1719), painter and printmaker based in Leiden.

Ex Marmorea Statua a G. Gibbons Sculpta. P. Vandrebanc Sculp:
London Printed and Sold by David Mortier at ye Sign of Erasmus's head in ye Strand. [n.d. c.1684.]
Engraving. Plate 672 x 481mm (26½ x 19"). Creasing and folded, water staining down right hand edge.
The statue of Charles II in the Royal Exchange, after Grinling Gibbons. As the dedication on the pedestal records, this statue of Charles II in the habit of a Roman Emperor with laurel about his head was erected in the Royal Exchange by the Society of Merchant Adventurers of England in 1684. It was destroyed by the fire that razed the Exchange in 1838, though a similar one in bronze is at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea. Vertue (IV 35) records that the stone statue was actually carved by Arnold Quellin, with whom Gibbons had entered into partnership in 1681. This was dissolved in 1683, presumably after the statue had been finished (see Katharine Gibson, in The Royal Exchange, ed.A.Saunders, 1997, pp.151-7). Gibbons obtained a most unusual type of patent to protect his statue. The 'London Gazette' for 15 May 1684 carries an announcement: 'His Majesty, being well satisfied with the performance of Mr Grinling Gibbons in the making his Majesties statue lately set up in the Royal Exchange, hath been pleased to forbid all persons to copy the same in graving, etching or in mezzotinto, without the approbation of the said Mr Gibbons.' Gibbons must have been very much in Charles's favour, for the London Gazette of 10 May 1686 announces an exceptional Royal permission for Gibbons and Parry Walton to hold a sale of pictures in the Banqueting House in Whitehall. This print was advertised in the Observator of 12 January 1685: 'The exact draught of the marble statue of his Majesty in the Royall Exchange so long expected is now (by permission of authority) finished. Curiously engraven by Mr Vandrebanc, and printed on a large sheet of imperiall paper. To be sold by Dorman Newman at the Kings Arms in the Poultry. Price 2s 6d.' Newman was a large-scale book publisher who issued a few prints between 1665 and his bankruptcy in 1694. He also put a notice of this plate in the Term Catalogues for February 1685 and November 1687: in the latter the price was reduced to 1s 6d. From Newman, the plate passed into the hands of David Mortier, a bookseller who sold at the sign of Erasmus Head in the Strand. Mortier died c.1728, and the plate passed to John King in the Poultry, the great reprinter of old plates (an impression published by King is in Crowle XII 49).

Coloured lithograph. Sheet 275 x 375mm (10¾ x 14¾"). Trimmed to printed border, laid on album paper, at corners, tears glued down.
A satire on the July Revolution of 1830, which forced Charles X (1757-1836) to abdicate. He and the duc d'Angoulême stand in the foreground, the former king saying 'Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the fate of kings'. To the left the Dey of Algiers wanders off, having been deposed by French action earlier in the year. Behind, a long fishing rod from the 'Times office' snags the crown off the king's head. John Doyle (1797-1868), worked under the pseudonym 'HB' from 1827, usually issuing one satire a month during parliamentary seasons. Doyle preserved his anonymity as 'H.B.' until 1843, when he revealed himself to Sir Robert Peel in a letter justifying his motives and principles as a cartoonist.

Robert Peel pulls the overcoat off a nightwatchman to throw onto a burning watch box, as the watchman begs for mercy. Another watchman hangs from a tree, still holding his lamp and rattle. An arm also holding a rattle sticks up out of a lake. A satire on the replacement of the district watch system with Peel's new police force, and the phasing out of the watch boxes which the watchmen often lived in. By William Heath (1794/5 - 1840), ex-Captain of Dragoons. From 1827-9 he used the pseudonym Paul Pry (from the name of a character in a comedy of 1825 by John Poole; however the monogram was soon copied by other caricaturists (eg Sharpshooter), so Heath reverted to using his own name.

Sold in May's Building's Covent Garden [n.d., c.1765.]
Etching, 420 x 320mm. 16½ x 12½". Trimmed to plate; soiled. Small tear lower right.
A rare portrait of Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1744-1818), Queen consort of George III. She married to George in 1761 and bore him 15 children. This could be the work of George Bickham the Younger (c.1706 - 1771) who had premises in May's Buildings, Covent Garden from c.1745. He was the son of George Bickham the Elder and collaborated with his father, and their prints have not been properly identified; when there is any doubt, prints have been attributed to George Bickham the Younger. Probably issued originally as a companion to a plate of George III, this is one of several printed adaptations of the portrait of the Queen in profile attributed by Goodwin to Jeremiah Meyer (735 - 1789), enamel, and later minature, painter.

Two poems published in 1806. The first is a poem by James Pye (1745-1813), published to celebrate the birthday of Queen Charlotte in 1806. James Pye, who had served as M.P. for Berkshire between 1784 and 1790, had supported Pitt the Younger and has been said that it was through this alliance that Pye was elected Poet Laureate in 1790, a post he held until his death in 1813. Each year on both the King and Queen's birthday Pye would publish a strongly patriotic ode in celebration. Surrounding the text, flags of various nations are illustrated including America with 13 stars. The second poem was written to commemorate the funeral of Lord Nelson in St Pauls. A plate from 'Orme's Graphic History of the Life, Exploits, and Death of Horation Nelson', published only three days after the funeral.
