William III. Viscount Courtenay, 1809.
R. Cosway, Esq.r R.A. Pinxit. J. Murphy Sculpsit.
Mezzotint, 18th century watermark 655 x 500mm (25¾ x 19¾"). Trimmed into plate, restoration to tears and folds.
A full-length portrait of William Courtenay (c.1768-1835), standing by a balustrade and steps leading to an ornamental garden, in the masquerade dress he wore to his coming-of-age ball at Powderham Castle in 1789. In 1784 Courtenay was embroiled in a scandal when his pre-adulthood homosexual relationship with novelist William Beckford was discovered.

[Robert Seymour]
London. Published by Thomas M.cLean. 26. Haymarket. July 1.st 1829.
Fine hand-coloured etching, 250 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"), with large margins. Holes in left margin where previously bound.
A series of scenes depicts Pickle’s romantic misadventures. He first encounters a fashionable woman when he sees her lying in shallow water after her horse has bolted, leaving an empty gig behind, love at first sight. Later, he dreams of her while sleeping with a copy of Ovid’s Art of Love on his pillow; above his head, dreamlike images of the lady, a galloping horse, and his own face appear among clouds. The next morning, he visits the lady and is welcomed flirtatiously into her neat parlour. Their courtship continues in a picturesque tea garden, where she coyly accepts his declaration of love beneath the trees as a waiter serves tea and a smiling sun looks down. Soon after, Pickle visits her again in her well-appointed room. As they sit together on the sofa, the portrait of her late husband glares down. She remarks that she despises greed, while Pickle replies that only the wealthy can afford to think little of money. Their courtship culminates in marriage, symbolized by a clergyman-like Cupid holding a wedding ring beneath a setting ''honeymoon.'' The dream collapses the next day, when Pickle discovers his new wife is not a wealthy widow but a former milliner with five plain children from her first marriage. She cheerfully explains that, lacking fortune but blessed with family, she thought it best to marry again. Two smaller accompanying scenes show Pickle gallantly helping the lady into a Thames boat and later assisting her from a gig, moments from the courtship that led to his ill-fated union.

Pair of very fine coloured lithographs. Sheet 280 x 229mm. 11 x 11¾". Cut and laid on separate album pages.
The Covenanters were a Scottish Presbyterian movement that played an important part in the history of Scotland, opposing the reintroduction of episcopacy by Charles II. Facing persecution they started holding 'conventicles', outdoor meetings and services, far from snooping government officials. Despite the romance in these prints, these meetings were dangerous: Covenanters were often shot on sight, or captured to be hanged or staked out in the Solway Firth to drown.

43 King Street, Covent Garden, built in 1717 for Admiral Russell, 1st Earl of Orford, to designs by Thomas Archer. The Lord Archer of the title was the architect's nephew, also Thomas (1695-1768), who had married Lord Orford's great-niece in 1726 and came into ownership of the house in 1729. He was raised to the peerage in 1747 as 1st Baron Archer. The house, once the home of the National Sporting Club, is now the London premises of 'Glossier', a cosmetics firm. From the sixth edition printed in 1754 - 1755 of John Stowe's work 'A Survey of the Cities of London and Westminter and the Borough of Sothwark', originally published in 1598 and 1603.
