Publish'd Apl: 22d. 1788 as the Act directs, by Pearson & Rollason Birmingham.
Stipple, sheet 140 x 105mm. 5½ x 4¼". Trimmed to plate and glued to album page.
A rare portrait of John Freeth (1731 - 1808), political ballad writer and innkeeper. By 1768 Freeth had become landlord of the Leicester Arms, Birmingham, where he remained until his death in 1808. Freeth’s Coffee House, as the Leicester Arms was known, became one of the most celebrated taverns in England. It was Freeth’s custom to write songs setting his words to popular tunes about remarkable events in local and national news, and to sing them nightly to the company assembled at his Coffee House. The habit was profitable: it crowded the place with patrons, attracted eminent visitors, and, since Freeth wrote as a determined radical and Nonconformist, it created a political meeting-place. The interest aroused by his songs encouraged Freeth to publish them, and the words of nearly 400 songs appeared in more than a dozen collections between 1766 and 1805.

John Freeth (1731-1808), was an English inkeeper, poet and songwriter; he published work under the pseudonym John Free. As the owner of Freeth's Coffee House between 1768 and 1808, he was a major figure in the political and cultural life of Birmingham during the Midlands Enlightenment. He composed the song "Birmingham Lads" for the opening of the Birmingham Canal in 1769 using Charles Dibdin's tune for 'The Warwickshire Lads' which had been composed earlier that year by David Garrick for the Shakespeare Jubilee celebrations. The canal halved the price of coal in Birmingham.

John Freeth (1731-1808), was an English inkeeper, poet and songwriter; he published work under the pseudonym John Free. As the owner of Freeth's Coffee House between 1768 and 1808, he was a major figure in the political and cultural life of Birmingham during the Midlands Enlightenment. He composed the song "Birmingham Lads" for the opening of the Birmingham Canal in 1769 using Charles Dibdin's tune for 'The Warwickshire Lads' which had been composed earlier that year by David Garrick for the Shakespeare Jubilee celebrations. The canal halved the price of coal in Birmingham.

[n.d., c.1625.]
Rare engraving. 320 x 425mm (12½ x 16¾"). With the ink collector's stamp of Alfred Morrisson). Narrow margins. Crease in centre, slightly visable from front.
An allegorical plate of the French Empire dedicated to Anne of Austria (1601-60, wife of Louis XIII and mother of Louis XIV) by the author Martin Meurisse. Centred around a portrait of the queen are figures of the Virtues, Europa astride the bull and others sitting on tiers, with notes in Latin and French. The two coats of arms are the Royal Crest and the emblem of the Franciscans. Underneath, the French text dedication explains the meaning of the plate. The author was Bishop Martin Meurisse (1584-1644), a Franciscan philosopher and theologian who published theses on Logic, Physics, Metaphysics and Ethics between 1613 and 1618, each illustrated with prints such as these. Alfred Morrisson (1821-1897), described by Lugt as 'one of the most relentless collectors of his time', formed his print collection between 1860 and 1878; the Print Room of the British Museum acquired 455 rare prints from the collection before the rest was dispersed by Sothebys between 1917-19.

[n.d., c.1625.]
Rare engraving. 320 x 425mm (12½ x 16¾"). With the ink collector's stamp of Alfred Morrisson). Narrow margins. Crease in centre, slightly visable from front.
An allegorical plate of the French Empire dedicated to Anne of Austria (1601-60, wife of Louis XIII and mother of Louis XIV) by the author Martin Meurisse. Centred around a portrait of the queen are figures of the Virtues, Europa astride the bull and others sitting on tiers, with notes in Latin and French. The two coats of arms are the Royal Crest and the emblem of the Franciscans. Underneath, the French text dedication explains the meaning of the plate. The author was Bishop Martin Meurisse (1584-1644), a Franciscan philosopher and theologian who published theses on Logic, Physics, Metaphysics and Ethics between 1613 and 1618, each illustrated with prints such as these. Alfred Morrisson (1821-1897), described by Lugt as 'one of the most relentless collectors of his time', formed his print collection between 1860 and 1878; the Print Room of the British Museum acquired 455 rare prints from the collection before the rest was dispersed by Sothebys between 1917-19.
