Six Views on Clapham Common, Drawn from Nature & on Stone by J.Powell, 14 Allsop's Buildings, New Road, Marylebone.
[London Pub.d Jan.y 31st, 1825 by J. Powell; 14, Allsops Build.s New Road, Marylebone.]
Oblong folio; card wrappers with illustrated title label; 6 lithographed views. Some damp staining.
Six views of Clapham Common, printed by Hullmandel, extremely rare with the original title label on the wrapper. The views are: View from the Mount Pond, on Clapham Common, Looking N.E.; View of the N.E. End of Clapham Common; View from the S.E. Corner of Clapham Common; View of the S.E. End of Clapham Common; View from the Mount Pond, on Clapham Common, Looking S.E.; View from the Nine Elms, on Clapham Common, Looking S.W. Joseph Powell (1780-1834) started as a landscape artist and etcher who embraced all forms of printmaking, an honourary exhibitor at the Royal Academy until 1833 and first president of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours (founded 1831). The drawings were made between 1818-1823 when Joseph Powell was working there. These views show the architecture of Clapham around the common and bordering Wandsworth at the beginning of the 19th Century when livestock is being grazed on the common in front of Holy Trinity Church. It was at this time that William Wilberforce and other member of the "Clapham Sect" lived around the common and worshipped at Holy Trinity. Most of the houses that the Clapham Sect lived in are gone but their names live on in some of the newer roads in the area.

Capt.n Hugh Clapperton. R.N.
Painted by Gildon Manton. Engraved by Tho.s Lupton.
London, Published Dec.r 1, 1828, by John Murray, Albermarle Street,
Mezzotint on chine collé. 255 x 200mm (10 x 8"), very large margins. Tear entering image repaired, creases, small scuff in title. Bit messy.
Half-length portrait of Bain Hugh Clapperton (1788-1827), in naval uniform. Born in Annan in Scotland, he went to sea at thirteen and was impressed into the Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1810 he was first in the breach at the storming of St Louis on Mauritius, and hauled down the French flag. In 1822 Clapperton joined Walter Oudney and Major Dixon Denham on an expedition to central Africa to trace the river Niger. Oudney died during the journey but Clapperton returned to England in 1825. Convinced that the way to the Niger was via West Africa, he went back that year as commander of a new expedition, but he died in 1827, suffering from malaria, depression, and dysentery. This portrait, after an oil now in the National Gallery of Scotland, was used as the frontispiece of Clapperton's 'Narrative of Travels and Discoveries in Northern and Central Africa in the years 1822–1823 and 1824'.

D. Justus Claproth. ordentlicher offentlicher Leher der Rechte, und Beysizer der juristen - Facultcet zu Göttingen. Gebohren am 30 ten Dec. 1728.
J. H. Fischbein sen del. 1772. J. E. Haid sculp A.V. 1779.
1779.
Mezzotint, very scarce. Sheet size: 215 x 135mm (8½ x 5½"). Trimmed to image. Slight repaired hole on top left.
Justus Claproth (1728 - 1805) was a German jurist, or teacher of law, and inventor of the deinking process of recycled paper. Before the invention of the paper machine in 1799 the most common fibre source was recycled fibres from used textiles. The rags were from hemp, linen and cotton. It was not until the introduction of wood pulp in 1843 that paper production were independent of recycled materials. The process for removing printing inks from recycled paper was invented by Justus Claproth in 1774. He practiced together with German paper producer Johann Engelhard Schmid. Today this method is called deinking.

Garden plan from Henry Hulsbergh's "Vitruvius Britannicus" series by C. Campbell. The road along the top the 'Guildford Road to London'. Claremont is a beautiful garden surrounding a small lake and featuring an unusual grass amphitheatre.

Engraving, sheet 180 x 120mm (7 x 4¾"). Wormhole top left. Cut to image.
John Clark (1683-1736), writing-master. Clark published his first copybook 'The Penman's Diversion' (to which this portrait was the frontispiece) in 1708, and when George Shelley was appointed writing-master to Christ's Hospital in 1710 Clark took over his boarding-school. Clark went on to achieve great commercial success with his several subsequent copybooks, but gained notoriety for his contentious nature. He conducted a long-running dispute with Shelley and another penman, Charles Snell which centred on the place of ornament in penmanship, in which Clark saw such devices as superfluous and misleading.

John Clark (1683-1736), writing-master. Clark published his first copybook 'The Penman's Diversion' in 1708, and when George Shelley was appointed writing-master to Christ's Hospital in 1710 Clark took over his boarding-school. Clark went on to achieve great commercial success with his several subsequent copybooks, but gained notoriety for his contentious nature. He conducted a long-running dispute with Shelley and another penman, Charles Snell which centred on the place of ornament in penmanship, in which Clark saw such devices as superfluous and misleading.

Coloured etching. 255 x 380mm (10 x 15"). Mounted in album paper at edges, some toning.
Mrs Cary or Carey releases a flock of fledgling officers with money bags from a sack marked 'Pin Money instead of Allowance', to the disgust of a group of full-size officers, one of whom says 'To waste ones health in unwholesome Climates an then fail of promotion because we cannot fee ****** or Army Agents Agents.!!'. Mrs Cary succeeded Mary Anne Clarke as mistress of Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, after Clarke admitted selling army commissions to support their lavish lifestyle in 1809.

Plate from the Satirist, iv. 313. Mary Anne Clarke (1776-1852), lightly clad, sits astride a black goat facing the tail which she holds, wrapped in a Letter, in her right hand; the animal has the face of Col Gwyllym Lloyd Wardle (c.1762-1833). Holding one of its long horns, William Pleydell-Bouverie, 3rd Earl of Radnor, (Viscount Folkstone) (1779-1869) drags it forwards while Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet, (1770-1844) tugs at the rope around its neck. Samuel Whitbread (1764 -1815) steadies Mrs. Clarke while William Cobbett (1763-1835) pushes it aside. A boisterous group are watching and cheering with bludgeons and hats. "Here I am / Upon a black ram / Like a Wh—e as I am," Mrs. Clarke declares with a smile. A paper with the title ‘Lines to be Repeated at the House’ is held by her. A big spur with six points that reads, ‘Malice, Arrogance, Interest, Disappointment, Revenge, Ingratitude,’ is fastened to her slipper. From Cobbett's pockets project papers, 'Subscription for Miss Taylor and Cobbetts Political [Reg]ister.' He holds a piece of Democratic Ginger with which he is about to ginger the goat. He says, " A Fig for such a Ram. (To fig (from feague) is to ginger a horse.)" Behind him walks a fashionably dressed man with a pamphlet in his pocket, 'Hague's Letter to the Duke of York'. "I say Tom—How goes Trade in the Informing line?" inquires one of the debased-looking rabble. Burdett puts a coin in the hand of a ragged ruffian and says, "No Bribery No Corruption —come give us a cheer my lad & here's a Guinea for you." The man shouts, "No Bribery—No Corruption—Burdett for ever Wardle for ever No Duke." Others yell, "Burdett for ever" and "Wardle for ever." Sir Watkin Williams Wynn (1772-1840) and his brother, Charles (1775-1850), both of whom have leeks in their hats, exchange "This will keep us awake Watky" and "Aye I think we shall Wynne the day now."

William Cobbett (1763-1835) and his proteges stand by her side, while John Fuller (1757-1834) attacks her from the left, firing a blast from a massive pair of bellows inscribed "Rose Hill Bellows."

"I'll blast her no Forging here you baggage. And still I blew a Fuller blast . And gave a lustier cheer," declares Fuller. Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet (1770-1844) kneels next to her and tries to protect her from the light of truth by holding up a little barrel of Whitbread's Entire Hogshead, which has the head of Samuel Whitbread II (1764-1815) on it.

Satire on Mary Anne Clarke (1776-1852) published around the time of the Duke of York's trial at the conclusion of the cash-for-commissions scandal. Clarke was mistress of Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, while he was Commander-in-Chief of the army. In 1809 she testified before the House of Commons that she had sold army commissions with the Duke of York's knowledge, forcing him to resign. He was reinstated, but not before he had cut all ties to Clarke and paid her a considerable sum to prevent her from publishing his letters to her. Here she stands before a large doorway inscribed 'Clark and Company'. Inside can be seen stacks of commissions, labelled: Captains Commissions 500 each, Half-pay Commissions 200 each, Lieutenant, Colonel, Major, Cornet. She urges 'now Gentlemen you had better be quick I have a few bargains to dispose of as the partnership is dissolving'. On the right stands a man playing a fiddle; from his coat-pockets hang papers. Beside him lies a large Note Book. Above his head hangs upside down a portrait: The Dukes Head; the upper part only of the Duke of York's profile is visible, defaced by a black mark, the rest of the picture being cut off by the upper margin of the design. On the left two military bandsmen play a drum and fife.

[Mary Ann Clarke.]
Pubd. by C. Chapple Pall Mall, & Blacklock, Royal Exchange, March 11, 1809.
Scarce stipple printed in colours, 220 x 140mm (8¾ x 5½"). Good margins.
Mary Anne Clarke (née Thompson) (1776 - 1852), mistress of Frederick, Duke of York from 1803 to 1806. Their affair turned into a political scandal when the Duke was charged with corruption for promoting officers from whom Clarke had taken bribes. Renounced by the Duke, Clarke proved to be an adept political operator, writing her own revealing memoirs and extracting huge pensions from the government to keep them suppressed. In her right hand she clutches a paper (an army commission?); a vivid and subtly satirical contemporary depiction published as news of the scandal broke. The Duke resigned as commander-in-chief of the Army on 25 March 1809.

Clarkson.
From a Model in Wax by Miss C. Andras. W. Worthington sculp.
Pub. by R. Bowyer, Pall Mall, Jan, 1, 1810.
Engraving, image 135 x 110mm. 5¼ x 4¼".
Cameo bust portrait in profile of Thomas Clarkson (1760 - 1846), slavery abolitionist. Thomas Clarkson devoted his life to abolitionism. His An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species (1786) brought him into association with Granville Sharp, William Wilberforce and other opponents of slavery; Clarkson joined them in forming a society for the abolition of the slave trade. He visited British ports to collect facts for his pamphlet A Summary View of the Slave Trade and of the Probable Consequences of Its Abolition (1787), and the evidence that he gathered was used in the antislavery campaign led by Wilberforce in Parliament. In 1807, a bill for the abolition of the slave trade finally was passed, and the next year Clarkson's two-volume history of the trade was published. After sculptor and medallist Catherine Andras (1775 - 1860).
