[n.d., c.1830].
Lithograph with letterpress, scarce with very large margins. Sheet size: 435 x 330mm (17 x 13").
Swarthmoor Hall is a mansion in Swarthmoor, in the Furness area of Cumbria in North West England. It was the home of Thomas and Margaret Fell, the latter an important player in the founding of the Religious Society of Friends (Quaker) movement in the 17th century. Founder of the Quaker movement, George Fox (1624 - 1691) visited the Hall in 1652 when Thomas Fell was travelling as a judge. However, Fox had an audience with Margaret Fell who became interested in his new doctrines. When Thomas Fell returned home, he was persuaded by his wife and some others to listen to Fox, who successfully appealed to his pro-Parliamentary sentiments. Thomas Fell was never totally convinced by Fox's religious teachings, but he did allow his home to be used as a meeting house for the early Friends. They did so until 1691 when a meeting house was built nearby. A speech made by Fox in Kingston-Upon-Thames in 1686, outlining his ideas, is printed below the image. After the death of her husband Margaret Fell married George Fox, who between touring the world with his ideas, would live at Swarthmore.

On Thomas Fell's return he too became a supporter of the movement and Swarthmore Hall became a meeting place for early memebers of the Religious Society of Friends. After the death of her husband Margaret Fell married George Fox, who between touring the world with his ideas, would live at Swarthmore.

The Queen's Visit to Tamworth, November 26th, 1843. Ye ancient towers of Tamworth, say Has Brighter morning been...Type of that building which shall be From spot, defect, and blemish free, When tiem shall be no more.
Thompson, Typ. Tamworth.
Letterpress and engraving. Two sheets double-side. 216 x 171mm. 8½ x 6¾".
St. Editha's Church stands as Queen over Tamworth, dating back to the early Saxon days. It was ransacked, as was the town, and destroyed after the Danish raids of 874 and 943. A Norman church was built in its place, of which parts still stand, but that was later destroyed by a fire in 1345. Parts of the church are made up of various parts of every rebuild, so can date back to the 12th century, and every century thereafter. Drayton Manor was built for the first Robert Peel around 1790, father of Robert Peel the Prime Minister who is commemorated with a statue in the centre of Tamworth. The most important visit to Tamworth and this manor was in 1843 when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert stopped by during their tour of the Midlands. This poem encapsulates this visits and Tamworth's history.

Plate from John Hassell's 'Aqua Pictura. Illustrated by a series of original specimens from the works of...all the most approved modern water coloured draftsmen...' (1813).

This print, finished with hand-colouring, replicates the original watercolour by Thomas Girtin. Girtin had died several years previously, but had drawn Tattershall Castle as the basis for an engraving in a series of views in Lincoln, in 1799. The engraver and publisher John Hassell (1767-1825) was also a drawing master, and like several other of his books, 'Aqua Pictura' was designed for educational purposes.

Scarce locally-published print of the first Shaldon Bridge, which crossed the estuary mouth of the River Teign at Teignmouth, Devon. Figures and cargo on quayside in foreground. The original bridge was owned by the Teignmouth and Shaldon Bridge Company and opened on 8 June 1827. It had 34 wooden arches and was 1,671 feet long, which made it the longest wooden bridge in England when built. It had abutment walls of a considerable length at either end, and a swing bridge at the Teignmouth end to allow sailing ships to pass up the estuary. It cost around £19,000 to build, but the overall expenditure was about £26,000 due to the costs of the necessary Act of Parliament and the purchase of the old ferry-rights. Toll houses were built at each end of the bridge, and the one on the Teignmouth side still survives. After only eleven years, on 27 June 1838 the centre arches of the bridge collapsed, the timbers being eaten through by shipworms. It was rebuilt in wood and reopened in 1840, but it partially collapsed again in 1893. The bridge was completely rebuilt between 1927 and 1931, using steel for the piers and main girders and concrete for most of the deck.

The New Meeting Chapel following its destruction during the Priestley Riots, the Birmingham Riots of 1791, which targeted religious Dissenters, most notably the politically and theologically controversial Joseph Priestley. On 14th July 1791, rioters approached the Quaker House until it was decided that the Quakers never troubled themselves with anything, and thus convinced themselves to attack the New Meeting Chapel, where Priestley presided as minister. From "Views of the Ruins of the Principal Houses destroyed during the Riots at Birmingham. 1791." On the 14th of July, 1791, a party having met at an hotel to celebrate the anniversary of the French revolution, collected together as a mob, and proceeded for several days their devastations, setting fire to several meeting-houses and private mansions, but on the arrival of the military from Oxford and Hounslow, order was restored: at the ensuing assizes four of the ring-leaders were convicted, two of whom suffered the penalty of the law. Shortly after this occurrence barracks were erected on the Vauxhall-road, near the town, consisting of a range of handsome buildings, enclosing a spacious area for the exercise of cavalry, and a smaller for parades, a riding-school, a magazine, and an hospital.
