Etching by George Bickham (c.1704-71), engraver and printseller. Bickham began his career working as a journeyman engraver for the Bowles and Overton families, before he began to publish himself.

London Pub May 7 1791 by W S Fores N.o 3 Piccadilly where may be seen the Compleate Model of th Guilotine also the largest Collection of caracaturs in the Kingdm, also the Head & Hand of Count Streuenzee, &c. admit 1
Hand coloured etching on 18th century watermarked paper. Sheet 260 x 380mm (10¼ x 15"). Trimmed within plate. Some surface dirt. Very small loss within title.
The print was published shortly after war between Britain and France began in February 1793. The date of 1791 is an engraver's error. A satire on the unpopular recruiting law of 24 February 1793. Recruits, bound and humiliated, are led off by two grotesque French officers, a third drives them along with his sword, "Come along and share in the glory of France." Five famished-looking men have been thrown across the back of a horse, where they lie head downwards, screaming. Into the posteriors of the topmost man is thrust a vertical pole, striped like a barber's, and tricolour, which supports a cap of 'Liberté'; he says, "I wont be a Volunteer foutré". Another man says, "if this is Rights of Man & french Liberty Lord have mercy upon us". On the horse's neck sits one of the officers, pointing to his victim and saying, "Vive la Liberté". A similar soldier leads the horse by a halter, a sword in his hand; he looks back fiercely, saying, "Come along my brave Volunteers, one Sous per Day in Assignats & Plenty of Water." Other men are dragged along by ropes attached to the horse; a woman and two ragged children form a chain to pull back a ragged man who is so dragged; he says, "oh mon Dieu, my Wife & my pauvre Famille". Another ragged man has fallen to the ground. Four other men are being driven along behind the horse by the third soldier; a man on the extreme left says, cowering in terror, "O I do not wish to go to Glory so soon".

Engraving Sheet 300 x 190mm (11¾ x 7½"). Trimmed into image.
Portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor Friedrich III (1415-93), mis-identified at Friedrich IV, probably because he was King Friedrich IV of Germany also. He was the first emperor of the House of Habsburg, the penultimate emperor to be crowned by the Pope and the last to be crowned in Rome. At 53 years his reign was the longest of any German monarch. He was known either as 'the Peaceful' or the 'Arch-Sleepyhead of the Holy Roman Empire'. Vignettes lower left and right claim the invention of both Typography and gunpowder during his reign. On verso is an ink insciption 'P. Mariette 1669', marking this print as coming from the collection of Pierre Mariette II, described by the BM as 'the greatest publisher of the century'. The collection passed to his grandson, Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694-1774), a renowned connoisseur and dealer in old master prints.

Frederick V, king of Bohemia and count Palatine of the Rhine (1596-1632), and his wife Elizabeth Stuart (1596-1662). They married in London in 1613, and Frederick accepted the crown of Bohemia in 1619, but just after a year later his reign as king ended following the Battle of White Mountain, and they spent the rest of their lives in exile (mostly at the Hague). For this reason they are nicknamed 'The Winter King' and 'The Winter Queen'.

John Freind (1675-1728) was an English physician and headmaster of Westminster School.

In 1722 he entered the House of Commons as MP for Launceston in Cornwall, but, being suspected of favouring the cause of the exiled Stuarts, he spent half of that year in the Tower of London. During his imprisonment he drew up the plan for his ‘History of Physic’ which appeared in 1725. In 1726 he was appointed physician to Queen Caroline, an office which he held until his death. Seated at a table, with a pedestal next to him with a bust of Hippocrates.

Confucius.
Ralph Willett inv. Wm. Collins fec. James Caldwall sculp.
[n.d., c.1785.]
Etching, 280 x 525mm (11 x 20¾").
A bas-relief frieze or panel showing Confucius standing holding an open book of his teachings in a decorated oval, Chinoiserie motifs to either side. Confucius (551 - 479? BC) was the celebrated Chinese philosopher whose 'Analects' contain a collection of his sayings and dialogues compiled by disciples after his death. From a series of designs by Ralph Willett (1719 - 1795), book and art collector, as realised by William Collins (1721 - 1793), modeller and sculptor. Collins had a large practice during the last half of the eighteenth century as a modeller of friezes and bas-reliefs for chimneypieces, reredoses, &c. He was one of the first members of the St. Martin's Lane Academy, and a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists, and signed the roll declaration in 1765, being one of the first directors of that society. He contributed to the first exhibition in 1760, and continued to exhibit up to 1768. This design formed part of Willett's decorative scheme for the estate of Merly in Great Canford, Dorset, which he purchased in 1751. In 1772 he built two wings, that on the south-east being a library (adorned with fanciful designs in arabesques and frescoes) eighty-four feet long, twenty-three wide, and twenty-three high.

Coloured aquatint. 740 x 455mm (29 x 18"). Backed to support. Slight fading in colour, minor discolouration in margins, minor damage out outer edges of sheet well outside plate mark, one small tear goes into the image on the right.
A fleet of frigates stationed off Gravesend forming a blockade of the Thames at a time of threat of attack by Napoleonic France. William Daniell (1769-1837), was born in Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey, son of a bricklayer who owned a public house called The Swan in Chertsey. Daniell’s future career was dramatically changed when he was sent to live with his uncle Thomas (1749-1840) after the premature death of his father in 1779. His uncle was an artist and later Royal Academician, and William became his pupil. Uncle and nephew left Britain in April 1785 to voyage throughout China and India. In Calcutta in 1791, they held a lottery of their combined paintings, using the proceeds to continue their travelling and sketching. They returned to Britain in 1794, where they put their experiences to use in exhibition-size oil paintings. Daniell’s ‘View of the East India Fleet in the Sunda Strait’ reflects his travels, and in 1819 he published an illustrated book A Picturesque Voyage to India by way of China. He made sketching tours throughout the British countryside, publishing A Voyage Around Great Britain (1814-25). Around this time, in 1821, he was elected a Royal Academician. His shipping scenes, such ‘A Bird’s-Eye View of the East India Dock at Blackwell’ (National Maritime Museum, London), were supplemented by greatly admired battle pieces. In 1825, he won a prize of £100 for a pair of the ‘Battle of Trafalgar’, exhibited at the British Institution. He continued to work until his death 12 years later.

Don Paolo Frisi.
And. Appiani delin. Dom. Cagnoni sculp.Med.
[n.d., c.1770.]
Engraving, 201 x 151mm. Trimmed into plate and title area.
Paolo Frisi (1728 - 1784) was an Italian mathematician and astronomer. In 1753 he was elected a corresponding member of the Paris Academy of Sciences, and shortly afterwards he became professor of philosophy in the Barnabite College of St Alexander at Milan. An acrimonious attack by a young Jesuit, about this time, upon his dissertation on the figure of the earth laid the foundation of his animosity against the Jesuits, with whose enemies, including Jean d'Alembert, J. A. N. Condorcet and other Encyclopedists, he later closely associated himself. In 1757 he became an associate of the Imperial Academy of St Petersburg, and a foreign member of the Royal Society of London, and in 1758 a member of the Academy of Berlin, in 1766 of that of Stockholm, and in 1770 of the Academies of Copenhagen and of Bern. From several European crowned heads he received, at various times, marks of special distinction, and the empress Maria Theresa granted him a yearly pension of 100 sequins. His knowledge of hydraulics caused him to be frequently consulted with respect to the management of canals and other watercourses in various parts of Europe. It was through his means that lightning conductors were first introduced into Italy for the protection of buildings.
