Rare lithograph on tinted india paper. Printed area 255 x 225mm (10 x 8¾"), with large margins. Foxing in borders.
A boy with a box and puppets, with a tortoise sitting on the box. A street urchin, he was murdered in 1831 by Bishop and Williams, who tried to sell his body to the Medical School at King's College, London. Caught, the pair became known as the 'London Burkers' (after the more notorious Burke and Hare of Edinburgh) and confessed to sixty murders prior to their execution. Bishop's corpse was put on display at King's College anatomy theatre. It is believed that the case was a prime inspiration for Charles Dickens's 'Oliver Twist', which he began five years later.

A broadside celebrating the actions of Richard Pendrill, who, along with his four brothers George, Humphrey, John and William helped Charles II escape from England after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester during his failed attempt to regain control of England from Cromwell in 1651.

The Pendrill brothers were richly rewarded when Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660.

Sold by C. Marsh at Charing Cross and R. Withy in Cornhill.
Rare mezzotint, sheet 395 x 290mm (15½ x 11½"). Trimmed and glued to album paper. Some surface dirt, creasing and some light foxing at edges.
Three quarter seated portrait of Sir John Fielding (1721-1780), English magistrate and social reformer. He rests his left hand on the 'Holy Bible' and 'Statuits at Large Magna Charta' and his right holds a rolled document labelled 'Plan of' on his knee. He wears a dark coat with narrow embroidered trim along edge and cuffs, over an embroidered waistcoat and a narrow dark band just above his closed eyes. Despite being blinded in a navy accident aged 19, Fielding set up his own business and, in his spare time, studied law. He worked very closely with his half-brother Henry Fielding (a chief magistrate as well as a novelist), creating the first professional police force, the Bow Street Runners. Known as the "Blind Beak", he could allegedly recognise three thousand criminals by the sounds of their voices.
