François Jean Dominique Arago (1786-1853), French mathematician, astronomer, whose recalculation of the Paris Meridian are commemorated by the 135 Arago medallions set into the ground through Paris. In the 1848 Revolution he joined the Provisional Government, in which he was responsible for abolishing flogging in the French Navy and then succeeded in procuring the abolition of slavery in the French colonies. In May he briefly served as Prime Minister of France, until the collective resignation of the Executive Power Commission in June. When Napoleon III took power in 1851 an oath of allegiance from all its functionaries, was required: Arago sent in his resignation as astronomer at the Bureau des Longitudes rather than take the oath, but Louis-Napoleon refused it and made "an exception in favour of a savant whose works had thrown lustre on France, and whose existence the government would regret to embitter."

Eugene Aram convicted at York Assizes Aug.t 3 1759 for the Murder of Dan.l Clark of Knaresborough in the County of York [...]
Thornton Sculpt
Published by Alexr Hogg.
Rare engraving with 10pp letterpress, sheets 210 x 130mm (8¼ x 5"). Trimmed to platemark.
Eugene Aram (d.1759), murderer and philologist, with extensive letterpress biography, as published in the 'Wonderful Magazine', which specialised in stories of eccentric and remarkable individuals. Aram was a considerably learned man, self-taught for the most part, who worked as a schoolteacher for much of his life. In 1758 the discovery of what was believed to be the skeleton of Daniel Clarke, a shoemaker from Knaresborough who disappeared in 1745 shortly after coming into money, led to Aram being named as an accomplice to Clarke's murder. Aram was tried in York in 1759, and he and the other defendant, a linen weaver named Houseman, accused each other. All of the evidence was circumstantial and Houseman turned crown's evidence in return for acquittal. Aram defended himself, and the letterpress to this print quotes Aram's speech, with its philosophic argument against the circumstantial evidence. Nevertheless a conviction was obtained and Aram was hanged at Knavesmire in 1759. The letterpress concludes by wondering how 'a man with abilities so superior, could think of embruing his hands in the blood of a fellow-creature'. While Aram's achievements as a linguist have subsequently been discredited, he was to be immortalized in Thomas Hood's ballad 'The Dream of Eugene Aram' (1829) and Edward Bulwer's eponymous novel of 1832.

Car. le Brun pinxit J. Audran Excudit [in image]
Engraving, platemark 295 x 605mm (11½ x 23¾"), with large margins. Fold through centre as issued; fine impression.
Engraving after one of the famous series of 'The Battle of Alexander' by Charles Le Brun (1619-90), which invited comparison between the ancient ruler and the French monarch Louis XIV. When the engraver Girard Audran (1640-1703) returned to Paris after a period of study in Rome at the studio of Carlo Maratti, he was engaged to engrave these four enormous pictures, which took him six years and for which he was paid over 10,000 francs. The series is the masterpiece of an important engraver, and earned him admission to the Académie Royale.
