The circumcision of Christ after Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (1591 – 1666), known as Guercino.

The original drawings by the Bolognese artist were acquired by the Earl of Bute while on his Grand Tour, and later given to George III. The king's librarian, Richard Dalton, met Bartolozzi in Italy in the early 1760s. This brought Bartolozzi to London in 1764 under Dalton’s employ. The plates were later bought by the London publishers John and Josiah Boydell, and published in two folio volumes. This appeared in Boydells' 'Eighty-two prints, engraved by F. Bartolozzi & c. from the original drawings of Guercino, in the collection of his Majesty'.

[Section showing St. Mary Somerset to Southwark Bridge, from 'View of the North Bank of the Thames from Westminster Bridge, to London Bridge. Shewing that Part of the Improvements Suggested by Lt.-Col. Trench, which is Intended to Carry into Execution.']
[T.M. Baynes. Charles Hullmandel.]
[published by Ackermann, 1825.]
Coloured lithograph, printed area 205 x 670mm. 10¾ x 26½".
Imagined view along River Thames showing the area between the site now occupied by the Millennium Bridge (on the left), and Southwark Bridge on the right. Landmarks annotated along bottom are 'Steel Yard', the Wren church of St Mary Somerset, Bow Church, Queenhithe Stairs, St James Garlick Hill (also designed by Wren), the British Copper Company, St Antholia on Watling Street (a church now destroyed but considered one of Wren's finest buildings), and St Michael College Hill. Colonel (later General Sir Frederick) Trench originated the idea of the Thames Embankment, for which a bill was (unsuccessfully) presented to Parliament in 1825. Revived, work on the Embankment started in 1864, although to a different design than is shown here. Drawn by Thomas Mann Baynes, the panorama shows the riverside as it appeared in 1825, from Westminster to London Bridge, with Trench's proposed embankment running from Whitehall to Blackfriars Bridge, with the skyline of London shown correctly above; this would have been one of nine lithographic sheets.

[London, 1900.]
Wood engraving on crepe paper, border printed in colours. Sheet 390 x 390mm (15¼ x 15¼"). Floral border with damage, foxed.
The return of the City Imperial Volunteers from the 2nd Boer War. The CIV were raised by the Lord Mayor in December 1899 specifically for the war, paid for by the City Livery Companies, bankers and City and West End firms. The recruits, who enlisted for one year, were granted the Freedom of the City of London before embarking for South Africa in January 1900. Their greatest success was at the Battle of Doornkop on 26th May 1900. Whereas the Gordon Highlanders used the traditional march uphill in line, making easy pickings for the entrenched Boers, the amateur C.I.V. used short bursts, with leap-frogging groups providing covering fire, thus minimising casualties and succesfully driving the Boers out. They returned home in October 1900 and made a state entry into the City on the 29th. Huge crowds turned out: the Central Line, which had been in operation for only a few weeks, alone carried 250,000 passengers.

The Siege of Colchester of 1648, part of the English Civil War, saw a Parliamentary victory led by Sir Thomas Fairfax. Sir Charles Lucas and Sir George Lisle were found guilty of High Treason and sentenced to death by firing squad. The claims were that Lucas had executed Parliamentary prisoners in cold blood; that he had broken his parole given by the First Civil War; and that the Royalists had continued to fight in an indefensible position. Within days of their execution, pamphlets were produced pronouncing Lucas and Lisle as martyrs to the Royal cause.
