[Alnwick Castle.]
Drawn and Engraved by T.M. Richardson.
[n.d., c.1840.]
Mezzotint and etching on india, proof before title. 215 x 320mm (9¾ x 12½"). Blindstamp bottom right of india. Very large margins. Surface soiling on backing board.
Alnwick Castle from woods above the castle. From a group illustrating castles on the border of England and Scotland. Thomas Miles Richardson, (1784-1848), succeeded father as master of St Andrew's Charity School, Newcastle, 1806. In 1813 he resigned his school position to devote his life to painting. Initially his work attracted little local interest, and he found it difficult to make a living as an artist. However, from 1814, he began to gain a wide reputation as a result of his exhibiting works in London, at the Royal Academy and the British Institution.

Iohn Bull and the Baronet of Belsay.
[Anon., c.1832.]
Etching, 215 x 300mm. 8½ x 11¾". Slightly soiled; two faint horizontal creases through plate.
Sir Charles Monck (1779 - 1867) of Belsay Castle, Whig M.P. for Northumberland, in riding dress, hat in hand, bowing to John Bull. He says: 'I really thought Mr Bull after you had read my Essay on Reform you would have chosen me your Representative in Parliament but I still find you are determin'd to have none but who are friends to the whole Bill I have therefore no alternative but with-drawing my Pretensions on this Occasion'. John Bull, stout and elderly, in old-fashioned dress, leans with both hands on his stick; he answers: 'A Fig for your Essay on Reform, it is something like the Reform you intended the Lobsters, when you took them out of their own Element to Thrive better in your own Fish Pond, never ask me another favour I'm done with you for ever. Since 1820 Monck had drifted from the Whigs; at a County meeting at Morpeth on the eve of the Reform Act he opposed the freeholders' resolutions for the measure, publishing his reasons in a pamphlet, 'Address to the County of Northumberland on the Bills for the reform of the House of Commons'. After the passing of the Act he issued an election address, canvassing as "a genuine Reformer", but the Whigs refused to accept him (nominating Beaumont and Ord) and he withdrew, and thereafter he voted for Tories. From a set of South Northumberland election prints.

[Canvassing in Northumberland (Untitled).]
[Anon., 1826.]
Etching, 210 x 235mm. 8¼ x 9¼". A good impression.
A stout pugnacious-looking man walks between two others, who both take his arm, the man on the right being the candidate, hat in hand. He addresses a plainly dressed elector (left) who uses two sticks, as if gouty; he throws out his right arm across the insignificant-looking candidate's chest, saying, In behalf of Mr L——l and in the Name of my N——le R——tive [Noble Relative] I solicit your Vote for the next General Election. The elector looks over his shoulder to say: None of your flummery to me about R——tives Ive given a Plumper to Bell, and Ill stand to him. The other canvasser, who wears fashionable riding-dress, says: Then Sir the first time I catch you with a Gun in your Hand Ill commit you under the Game Act.

![[Northumberland election duel (Untitled).]](jpegs/13690.jpg)
[Northumberland election duel (Untitled).]
[Anon., 1826.]
Etching, 225 x 320mm. 9 x 12½". Waterstain to right side of plate; full margins.
The duellists are John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham (1792 – 1840) and Thomas Wentworth Beaumont (1792 - 1848), who had made a personal attack upon Lambton in a speech during the Northumberland election. Each turns to speak to his second, smoke curling round their heads. Beaumont (left) stands aggressively, saying to a naval officer: I'll sacrifice a Pig rather than make any concession. His second, Captain Plunkett: By the powers, that was near a finisher for you my dear boy! never mind, if any thing should happen, its snug lying in the Abbey, give him another Pepper-corn or two just by way of encouraging the lead trade. The other second, General Sir H. G. Grey, Howick's uncle, stands with legs astride, flourishing a pistol; he says to Lambton: We have done all that the laws of honor require, & in order to save a return of Kill'd & Wounded, we will send in a Flag of Truce, & put an end to hostilities. Lambton bows deprecatingly, saying, I'm perfectly Satisfied if my honor is preserv'd. The scene takes place on the Northumberland sea-shore, with Bamborough castle in the distance to left. On paper watermarked 1823. From a set of satirical prints concerning electioneering in South Northumberland in 1826. see ref:13629,13685.

Proceeding to Alnwick, 1826.
[Anon., 1826.]
Etching, 180 x 330mm. 7 x 13". Three vertical folds, as normal.

The carriage is pulled by several men, two of whom are identified in pencil captions. The two Tory candidates Liddell and Matthew Bell were returned.

State of the Poll. At the Close of the memorable Contest for Northumberland.
[Anon., 1826.]
Etching, sheet 310 x 235mm. 12¼ x 9¼". Trimmed to plate. Closed tear to upper edge.
Political satire; Henry Thomas Liddell, first Earl of Ravensworth (1797 -1878) stands triumphantly atop the poll for the June 1826 general election in Northumberland; his rivals are left behind as the attempt to scale the podium. The victor is supported by rope tied around his waist and has been hoisted by numerous miniature figures in background clouds to left and right. The votes cast for each candidate are recorded below the title; the two Tory candidates Liddell and Matthew Bell were returned.

Real Independence Alias Reelingdependence.
[Anon., c.1826.]
Woodcut, sheet 235 x 260mm. 9¼ x 10¼". Sheet trimmed. A few stain spots.
Political satire; a drunken gentleman with a bottle in one hand and glass in the other, as a political banner design. Possibly the figure is intended to be Henry Thomas Liddell, first Earl of Ravensworth (1797 -1878), though there appears no great evidence of a reputation for drunkenness. In February 1826 Liddell unsuccessfully contested the county of Northumberland in the Tory interest. At the general election in June of the same year, after a poll of fifteen days, in which great sums of money were spent, Liddell and Matthew Bell were returned. An interesting piece of local popular political printing. See ref:13688

[Northumberland election fight.]
[Anon., 1826.]
Rare Etching, sheet 225 x 275mm. 9 x 10¾".
Political satire: two Tory candidates for a by-election in Northumberland held February/March 1826 face each other stripped to the waist as pugilists, their supporters gathered in opposing camps. The boxers are Matthew Bell (left) and Henry Thomas Liddell, first Earl of Ravensworth (1797 -1878). Bell is winning, and blood pours from Liddell's nose. Bell's backers include a stout parson, his uncle Ralph Henry Brandling, and C. J. Clavering (High Sheriff of Durham 1829-33) who seconded Bell's nomination in June. Liddell's fat bottle-holder is probably Sir Thomas Burdon. The by-election was called as a result of the death of Charles Brandling, Bell's uncle; result, in a poll of thirteen days: Bell 1,186, Liddell 1,150. (Lord Howick retired after a week's canvass.) Ill-feeling was caused by Liddell's canvassing immediately on Brandling's death, a week before Bell began his canvass, and also by Bell's 'disturbing the peace of the county' on the eve of a general election by contesting the seat after Liddell had announced his candidature. A Boxing print from a series of Northumberland election prints.

March of the Per-y Tenantry or the Dukes Own.
[Anon., c.1832.]
Etching, 250 x 410mm. 9¾ x 16". Tear in lower margin, another into upper left part of plate.
Hugh Percy, 3rd Duke of Northumberland (1785 – 1847) drives a cart transformed into a prison by an arch-topped cage of bars fastened by a huge padlock. This is crowded with his tenants, going unwillingly to the poll. Some sit, glum and angry, others stand, to thrust heads, arms, or heads and shoulders through the bars. One exclaims: 'Let us mutiny! we will not be driven to the Poll like Sheep'. Two, who are very thin, struggle out at the back, where there is a crowd (right) with banners, headed by Beaumont and Ord; Beaumont exclaims: 'I see O—d we'll catch a few of the lean ones. John Bull stands beside them, applauding the escapers. The Duke, who is thin and dandified, with a Garter star dangling from his neck on a ribbon, leans forward to lash his pair of wretched plodding horses. The Duke's preferred (Tory) candidate Matthew Bell, small and dapper, rides a shaggy pony just in front of the cart, playing bagpipes; he has a crescent on his sleeve. Northumberland: 'Play up Matthew they are turning unruly, give them the Conservative Rant'. The Duke’s seat of Alnwick Castle in the background to left. Northumberland had attempted to coerce his tenants over the signature of an anti-Reform Address. From a set of South Northumberland election prints.

In 1844 Frédéric Martens (1809-75) had been sent to Chamonix by the French government to experiment with photography in extreme conditions, producing some of the first photographs of the high alps. In the early 1850s he exhibited panoramic views in London and Paris, fuelling interest in the scenery of the region, so returned for this series.

In 1844 Frédéric Martens (1809-75) had been sent to Chamonix by the French government to experiment with photography in extreme conditions, producing some of the first photographs of the high alps. In the early 1850s he exhibited panoramic views in London and Paris, fuelling interest in the scenery of the region, so returned for this series.

A view of Lausanne, in the Canton of Vaud, with Lake Geneva in the background. Plate 37 of 'La Suisse et la Savoie par Eugène Ciceri d'après les vues photographiées par Martens, photographe de S.M. l'Empereur' (1859-65), which recorded 'numerous locations still unknown or little known in topographical illustration' (Gattlen). In 1844 Frédéric Martens (1809-75) had been sent to Chamonix by the French government to experiment with photography in extreme conditions, producing some of the first photographs of the high alps. In the early 1850s he exhibited panoramic views in London and Paris, fuelling interest in the scenery of the region, so returned for this series. As his medium, daguerreotype, prevented easy reproduction, his images had to be lithographed (by Étienne Eugène Cicéri) for publication.
