Plan of St. Julian's Harbour on the Coast of Patagonia Laying in the Lat.d of 49: 30.S.º & W.t Lonf.d from London 70:44.174º
[London: for the author by John and Paul Knapton, 1748.]
Coloured engraved map. 235 x 520mm (9¼ x 20½"). Folded as issued, backed on paper.
A plan of the harbour of Puerto San Julián in Argentina, where George Anson's fleet anchored while they refitted one of their ships, Tryal, and reprovisioned themsleves with salt prior to their attempt to round Cape Horn. George Anson's circumnavigation, 1740-44, was one of the last great buccaneering voyages, an official expedition to the South Seas to harass the Spanish bases but, more importantly, plunder their shipping. A main target was one of the richly-laden Manila galleons that crossed between Acapulco in Mexico and Manilla the Philippines. A stroke of luck presented them with one laden with 1.3 million silver pieces of eight; on their return to London, thirty-two wagons were needed to transfer them to the Tower of London. Published in Anson's own account, ''A Voyage Round the World, in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV''.

The First of April.
[Anon., c.1780]
Etching, platemark 160 x 100m (6 x 4"). Small margins.
Satire on a dissolute aristocrat, probably first issued in a magazine. A richly dressed young man, his hair tied in an elaborate queue, grasps a creditor, who holds a lengthy bill amounting to £500, by the shoulder and raises his stick at him; to the right, three other creditors look on in alarm, one holding a bill amounting to £2000; to the left, are two young women with hair dressed high one holding a lapdog; a monkey, dressed like the young man, squats on a chair aiming a gun at the creditors and two small dogs bark. On the wall behind are six pictures illustrating forms of self destruction: a huntsman is attacked by his hounds; a fallen rider is kicked by his horse; a man pulls down his own house on his head; a man sitting in front of a mirror places a gun in his mouth; two lovers on a bed are surprised by the woman's husband who stabs the man with his sword; two men fight a duel under the gaze of an owl, or parrot, on a stand while a body hangs from a gallows in the distance.

Sir Richard Arkwright, late of Cromford Derbyshire, The Eminent Inventor of the Machinery used in Spinning Cotton, by means of Rollers [...]
Painted by J. Wright Engraved by H. Meyer [c.1800]
Stipple engraving on india, platemark 225 x 150mm (9 x 6") very large margins.
Sir Richard Arkwright (1732-92), inventor of cotton-spinning machinery and cotton manufacturer. The archetypal self-made man, Arkwright went from a barber's apprentice in Bolton to a key figure in the proto-industrial north and midlands whose worth at his death was some £500,000. An ambitious inventor, Arkwright improved cotton manufacturing machinery, set up up the Cromford Cotton Mills in the then unexploited district of Cromford near Matlock (for a view of pre-Arkwright Cromford see ref.29386), and later ventured into hosiery knitting as well. Engraving after the portrait of c.1789-90 by Joseph Wright of Derby (private collection). Arkwright occupies an important place in Wright's work, not only in the portraits he painted of Arkwright and his family, but also because of the series of views he painted of the area where Arkwright established his empire. Not shown in this engraving is the model of the spinning frame Arkwright claimed to have invented, which in Wright's painting is on a table beside the sitter's left hand. Benedict Nicolson suggests that because aspersions had been cast on his qualifications as an inventor, Arkwright preferred to have this aspect of his work emphasised, rather than being painted with, say, a plan of his industrial empire- an achievement which was in no doubt.
