Born in 1795, John Frederick Herring spent the first eighteen years of his life in London, before moving to Doncaster.

Sketching equestrian subjects in his spare time, Herring’s talent was quickly noticed and he soon found himself painting hunters and racehorses for local patrons. He lived for a time in Newmarket, and then in London, where he may have been tutored by a well-known artist of the time, Abraham Cooper.

Lithograph. 227 x 280mm. 9 x 11".
During Columbus's stint as governor and viceroy, he had been accused of governing tyrannically. Columbus was physically and mentally exhausted; his body was wracked by arthritis and his eyes by ophthalmia. In October 1499, he sent two ships to Spain, asking the Court of Spain to appoint a royal commissioner to help him govern. The Court appointed Francisco de Bobadilla, a member of the Order of Calatrava; however, his authority stretched far beyond what Columbus had requested. Bobadilla was given total control as governor from 1500 until his death in 1502. Arriving in Santo Domingo while Columbus was away, Bobadilla was immediately peppered with complaints about all three Columbus brothers: Christopher, Bartolomé, and Diego. On 1 October 1500, Columbus and his two brothers, likewise in chains, were sent back to Spain.

Edw. Colston, Esq. "Go thou & do likewise."
J. Richardson pinxit. DM fecit [c.1800?]
Scarce etching, sheet 125 x 100mm (5 x 4"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet. Loss top right.
Edward Colston (1636-1721), a wealthy merchant whose philanthropy earned him great respect in Bristol, where he was commemorated with statues, a concert hall and street names. However he kept secret his role as a highly placed officer in the Royal African Company (which held the monopoly on trade with Africa for gold, ivory, spices and slaves from 1672 to 1698) so successfully that early biographies do not mention it. In 2020 his links to the slave trade were the focus of the 'Black Lives Matter' protests in Bristol, during which his statue was pulled down and dumped in Bristol Harbour.
This portrait is cropped from the ¾ length portrait by Jonathan Richardson, painted 1722, which used to hang in the City Hall in Bristol.

Engraved for Middleton's Complete System of Geography.
[n.d., c.1777.]
Etching and engraving. 295 x 175mm (11½ x 7"). Trace of water stain to lower left corner.
Christopher Columbus (1451 – 1506) landed within the Bahamas Archipelago in October 1492 at a locale he named San Salvador. Mistaking the Carribean island for the East-Asian mainland, he referred to its inhabitants as "Indians". Severely underestimating the circumference of the Earth, Columbus had hypothesized that a westward route from Iberia to the Indies would be shorter and more direct than the overland trade route through Arabia. If true, this would have allowed his royal Spanish patrons entry into the lucrative spice trade. Plate to Charles Theodore Middleton's 'A new and complete system of Geography ... Embellished ... with ... copper plates, etc.', London 1777-78.

Christopher Columbus (1451 – 1506) landed within the Bahamas Archipelago in October 1492 at a locale he named San Salvador. Mistaking the Carribean island for the East-Asian mainland, he referred to its inhabitants as "Indians". Severely underestimating the circumference of the Earth, Columbus had hypothesized that a westward route from Iberia to the Indies would be shorter and more direct than the overland trade route through Arabia. If true, this would have allowed his royal Spanish patrons entry into the lucrative spice trade. Plate to Charles Theodore Middleton's 'A new and complete system of Geography ...

M. van Ogg Lith.o.
Printed and Sold by S. Vowles, 3 St Michael's Abbey, Cornhill [n.d., c.1824].
Rare coloured lithograph. Sheet 235 x 245mm (9¼ x 9¾"). Trimmed and mounted in album paper.
A depiction of the Columbus, a four-masted barque which was the largest ship ever built at the time. Built by Charles Wood, it was basically a raft, designed to carry large tree trunks for use as masts across the Atlantic, and to be dismantled after one voyage and its timbers sold for reuse. Her first crossing took three months, but instead of being dismantled her owners sent her back, but she was wrecked in the English Channel on 17 May 1825. An even larger version, 'The Baron of Renfrew' was wrecked the following year, making such vessels uninsurable.
