J. Gericault del. C. Hullmandel's Lithography.

Lithograph, sheet 350 x 480mm (13¾ x 19"), large margins. Several creases, nicks and stains on top margin, slightly stained on publication line.
Scene in a forge with three horses, tethered to a wall-ring. A farrier hammers nails into the hoof of one of the horses, which attempts to bite another horse but it is fended off with a pair of tongs by a second farrier. After Jean Louis André Théodore Géricault (1791-1824). From the only edition of Rodwell and Martin's 'Various Subjects drawn from life on Stone', known as the 'English Series'. Despite its commercial failure at the time, Gericault's 'English Series' is now considered to have been of the greatest importance in the development of lithography as an art form during the first half of the nineteenth century. Due to the comparitively small number of impressions printed before the stones were effaced, exampes of Gericault's lithographs from this series are now exteremelty rare and have always been amongst the most sought after of his original printed works.

[Marriage contract, Leicestershire] A Settlement 14 Aug. 18 Edw. 111. (1347) upon the Marriage of the Daughter of Sir John Depden to the Son & heir of Sir John Mowbray in the possession of Richard Rawlinson L.L.D & F.R.S. 1751.
[British, c.1750s.]
Engraved facsimile of a 13th century indenture (in English), seal below text. Watermarked laid paper, sheet 250 x 340mm. 9¾ x 13½". Extremities a little bumped and stained.
The original document is from the collection of Richard Rawlinson (1690 – 1755), a clergyman and antiquarian who bequeathed a huge collection of books and manuscripts to the Bodleian Library, Oxford. In 1716 he was ordained, but as he was a nonjuror and Jacobite, the ceremony was performed by a nonjuring bishop, Jeremy Collier. In 1728 he became a bishop, but seems to have preferred to pass his time in collecting books and manuscripts, pictures and curiosities, rather than in discharging his episcopal functions. At his death Rawlinson left to the Library 5,205 manuscripts bound in volumes that include many rare broadsides and other printed ephemera, his curiosities, and some other property that endowed a professorship of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford. The Rawlinsonian Professor of Anglo-Saxon was first appointed in 1795. He was also a benefactor to St John's College, Oxford.

Man standing stiffly in profile to the right, head thrown back with a contemptuous scowl. His left hand rests on a cane. He wears a low broad-brimmed hat, a tightly-curled wig, buttoned coat, and gloves.

Lansdowne was given the moniker ‘Malagrida', the notorious Portuguese Jesuit, by the 'Public Advertiser' of 16 Sept. 1767.
