A scene of Giuseppe Marco Fieschi (1790-1836) about to fire his 'infernal machine' at King Louis Philippe, 28th July 1835. Fieschi was a disaffected Corsican Republican who fought with Joachim Murat in his attempt to regain the Napoleonic kingdom of of Naples. Back in Corsica in 1816, he was condemned to ten years imprisonment for theft and forgery, but he eluded the police and escaped to Paris. After continuing a life of crime, he became involved in a plot to kill the king, building a 25-barrel volley gun and installing it at a house in Boulevard du Temple. As the king's entourage passed, the machine was fired, grazing the King's forehead and killing Marshal Mortier and seventeen other people. Fieschi was arrested, condemned to death and guillotined on February 19, 1836.

[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving. 305 x 445mm (12 x 17½").
Two portraits: Toubau, son of the King of the Friendly Isles, and Vouacécé, a man of Fiji who the French met in Tongatapu, 150 leagues away. In 1788 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse set sail from Botany Bay and was never seen again. Despite the upheaval of the French Revolution the National Assembly was moved to send an expedition in search of their lost hero, 1791-3, under Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. Despite finding no trace of La Perouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists, especially in Australia. This account, compiled by the expedition's botanist, Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière, was published as 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', with natural history plates by Redouté and Audebert. The work even has its own abbreviation in botantical literature, 'Voy.Rech.Perouse'.

Mr. Bunbury del. J.Bretherton f.
Publish'd 1st Jan. 1774.
Etching, platemark 210 x 140mm (8¼ x 5½"). Crease top right; glued to backing sheet.
Maid working at a French hostelry. Etched after Henry Bunbury, an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).
