The General Penny or A New Post Under Government.
Whittock(?) del.
J. Grieve, Printer. [London, n.d., c.1844.]
Zincograph (lithograph), fragment, very scarce, sheet 250 x 260mm. 9¾ x 10¼". Outer edges scuffed and paper staining.
Political satire on the postal reorganisation of 1844, which assimilated the ‘Penny Post’ - which since its inception as a government establishment in 1682, had been treated as a separate Department with its own premises, officers, staff and uniform - into the London and District Post Office. The invention of the travelling postal service, the introduction of prepaid postage stamps and daily deliveries necessitated reform to cope with an ever-increasing volume of letters and a need for a more comprehensive system of mail sorting and carrying. The headquarters of the General Post Office in St Martins-le-Grand in the City of London in the background. The illustrated title page to a musical score or other publication.

Ignacio da Silva Valente pinx. F. Bartolozzi sculp em Lisboa em 1812
Engraving, platemark 270 x 205mm (10½ x 8") very large margins.
Manuel Jorge Gomes de Sepúlveda 1735-1814), Portuguese soldier and governor of Capitania do Rio Grande de São Pedro in Portuguese-governed Brazil. Engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815). Born in Florence, Bartolozzi was elected a founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768 (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This was one of Bartolozzi's final prints; its rarity can be deduced from the fact that when Calabi and de Vesme included the print in their Bartolozzi catalogue raisonné it was without having actually seen an impression.

Engraving with letterpress on verso. 268 x 408mm. 10½ x 16". Repairs to centrefold.
Extremely rare bird's-eye plan of Geneva, engraved by Paolo Forlani for Giulio Ballino's "Civitatum Aliquot Insigniorum, et locorum, magis munitorum exacta delineatio" (three editions 1567-9, printed by Bolognino Zaltieri). This collection of townplans pre-dates the Braun & Hogenberg 'Civitatis Orbis Terrarum', which is generally believed to be the first of its kind. It is also among the first engraved views of Geneva. Forlani was a major figure in the Venetian map trade in the C16th, one of the so-called "Lafreri-type" engravers. His work is prized for the quality of the engraving, of which this is a fine example, with crisp, detailed engraving. Under the map is a 12-point key to the important buildings.

A view of Hôtel Byron, between Chillon and Villeneuve on Lake Geneva, which was the largest hotel on the Riviera when it opened in 1841. However only two years later it was up for sale by auction.

He could not make the hotel pay and sold up, and his successor failed also. It then became Chillon College, a school for British colonials, described by the Singaporean newspaper The Straits Times described it as the 'Eton of Switzerland'. The building burned down in 1933.

Coloured etching. 345 x 250mm (13½ x 9¾").
A monster with bat's face, wings & tail and hoofs, in quasi-oriental dress, strides from 'Turkey' to London', holding a fool's bauble and a paper: 'Plan for turning St Pauls to a Bazaar'. The 'Bazaar' was established by John Trotter in 1815, to enable the widows and daughters of Army officers to raise money by selling their handywork. Counter-space was rented at 3d. a foot a day, the only recommendation required being 'an irreproachable character'. The Bazaar, the first of its kind, extended from the west side of Soho Square to Oxford Street and proved a source of great wealth to Trotter.

The 'Bazaar' was established by John Trotter in 1815, to enable the widows and daughters of Army officers to raise money by selling their handywork. Counter-space was rented at 3d. a foot a day, the only recommendation required being 'an irreproachable character'. The Bazaar, the first of its kind, extended from the west side of Soho Square to Oxford Street and proved a source of great wealth to Trotter.
