[Allegory of a love affair.] Tribunal injurie & Armoris. De beschuldinge en klachten van Juffr. Elizabeth Stevenon, gedaen als aenklaegster van der Heer Gabriel Lalande.
[by Crispijn de Passe.]
[n.d., 1661.]
Rare broadsheet with engraving, 130 x 200mm (5 x 8"), set in letterpress, sheet 500 x 285mm (19¾ x 11¼"). Sheet with loss at bottom, not affecting text.
A pair of former lovers in a court case presided over by the Titaness Thenis, with Venus acting for the complainant. Underneath is an extensive satirical verse. A satire on the scandalous events following the end of the love affair between Gabriel Lalande, a French merchant, and Elizabeth Lestevenon, a young woman from a rich Dutch mercantile family. After an intimate relationship of several months, Elizabeth announced she was going to marry someone else. In indignation Lalande started spreading rumours about their affair, including their sexual activity. Lestevenson's family appealed to the Amsterdam Magistrates, who jailed Lalande for seventy days, but this did not stop the gossip. Such was the scandal that at the end of 1661 the printer Johannes van den Bergh collected many of the broadsheets and published a collection, 'The Sweet Courtship of Mr Gabriel de Lalande, or the fallen rose of Miss Elizabeth Lestevenon'.

The Macaroni Provider.
Pubd. according to Act July 21st. 1772, by MDarly 39 Strand.
Etching, plate 195 x 125mm (7½ x 5". Pencil caption in image. Small margins.
A man carries on his back a doll-like woman who takes the place of the exaggerated macaroni club of hair. She is swathed round in black ribbon and so attached to his shoulders in the manner of a club of hair. He leers, and carries a tasselled cane with a sharp handle set with what appears to be a snuff-box. She wears a ribbon-trimmed hat, frilled elbow-sleeves, her body is covered with the black swathing, and her clocked stockings are visible to the knees. Probably this is a portrait of some (alleged) notorious procurer; perhaps Thomas Bradshaw, a Treasury clerk who was appointed a Lord of the Admiralty on 6th May 1772. From 'Macaronies, Characters, Caricatures &c designed by the greatest personages, artists &c', in an album of caricatures published by Mary Darly dated January 1776. It seems that her husband Matthew made the plates. Numbered 'V.3' upper left and '23' upper right.

Dona Maria II (1819-53), queen regent of Portugal and the Algarves from 1826-28, and from 1834-53, here portrayed at the age of around thirteen.

[To Sam.l Oldknow Esqr. _The Proprietor, This West View of Mellor Mill in Derbyshire is with the greatest respect, inscribed by his obedient H.ble Servants, F.Jukes & V.Zanetti.]
[From an original Picture by J.Parry. Engraved by F.Jukes.]
[Published July 12th 1803 by Francis Jukes, No. 10 Howland Street _ And Vittore Zanetti, Repository of Arts, Manchester.]
Aquatint with very fine original hand colour, very large margins, proof before all letters 370 x 480mm (14½ x 18¾"), on paper watermarked 'J Ruse'. Several tears in margin, one just entering plate at bottom. Slight time staining.
Mellor Mill, a six-story cotton mill in Marple (now Greater Manchester), built by Samuel Oldknow 1793-5. Extremely rare & fine image. Oldknow (1756-1828) was a cotton manufacturer at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. Early in his career he used the 'putting-out' system of production, distributing raw cotton to spinners and yarn to weavers who worked in their own homes and workshops. This could not compete against the Indian muslin trade, so he secured money to built this factory. A financial crisis caused by the French Revolutionary Wars put him on the brink of bankrupcy, but he was saved by a partnership with Richard Arkwright. By the time this print was published the mill had over 500 employees, including a number of parish apprentices who were brought up from London. He was known as a good employer: his farming interests allowed him to supply his workers with food and he built them housing. He also introduced his own system of paper money to pay his workforce which could be exchanged for goods at the village shop or for cash via third parties. However by the time of his death he was £206,000 in debt. Oldknow also invested in the Peak Forest Canal, on which was the Marple Aqueduct, which was also the subject of an aquatint by Joseph Parry and Francis Jukes.

Mellor Mill, a six-story cotton mill in Marple (now Greater Manchester), built by Samuel Oldknow 1793-5. Extremely rare & fine image. Oldknow (1756-1828) was a cotton manufacturer at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. Early in his career he used the 'putting-out' system of production, distributing raw cotton to spinners and yarn to weavers who worked in their own homes and workshops. This could not compete against the Indian muslin trade, so he secured money to built this factory. A financial crisis caused by the French Revolutionary Wars put him on the brink of bankrupcy, but he was saved by a partnership with Richard Arkwright. By the time this print was published the mill had over 500 employees, including a number of parish apprentices who were brought up from London. He was known as a good employer: his farming interests allowed him to supply his workers with food and he built them housing. He also introduced his own system of paper money to pay his workforce which could be exchanged for goods at the village shop or for cash via third parties. However by the time of his death he was £206,000 in debt. Oldknow also invested in the Peak Forest Canal, on which was the Marple Aqueduct, which was also the subject of an aquatint by Joseph Parry and Francis Jukes.

Pub by T. McLean 26 Haymarket. caricatures daily published.
Etching with fine hand colour. 370 x 260mm (14½ x 10¼"), large margins.
Satire commenting on Wellington's relationships with cousins Sarah Villiers, Countess of Jersey and Harriet Arbuthnot. Lady Villiers was often ridiculed for 'affecting great intimacy with the Duke'. Harriet Arbuthnot and her husband Charles however, did have a close relationship with Wellington who promoted Charles Arbuthnot from the Department of Woods and Trees to Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Unusually, the small character of Paul Pry in the left corner points to an address along the top edge of the print: 'I'm sorry to intrude but some dirty Rogue has lately been copying my caricatures- robbing us of our ideas & just profit- may I ask of my Friends not to purchase unless they see the Publisher T. McLeans name at the bottom, all others are copies P. Pry'.
