Charles Gordon-Lennox (1791-1860) in his peer's robes, wearing his Waterloo Medal. As a soldier he served on Wellington's staff in the Peninsular War, during which time he was shot in the chest, the musket ball never being removed. At Waterloo he was ADC to the Prince of Orange until the prince was wounded, after which he replaced the wounded Sir Alexander Gordon as ADC to Wellington. As a politician he was MP for Chichester 1812 until 1819, when he entered the Lords. An ultra-Tory, he campaigned against Catholic emancipation, free trade and the repeal of the Corn Laws. The 1847 introduction of the Military General Service Medal for the survivors of the campaigns between 1793 and 1814 (French Revolutionary War and Napoleonic Wars) was primarily due to his enlistment of the support of Queen Victoria.

E.U. Eddis. delin. William Drummond litho.
London, Published June 26th. 1835. by Thos. McLean, 26 Haymarket. Printed by Lefevre & Kohler, 52 Newman St.
Lithograph. 206 x 176mm. Some spotting.
Francis Gore, (1769-1852) was a British officer and British colonial administrator. Gore was commissioned into the 44th Foot in 1787, but transferred to the 54th Foot in 1794 and the 17th Light Dragoons in 1795. He retired with the rank of major and then became Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada from 1806 to 1811. Gore's administration built roads, reorganised the militia and founded schools. He was absent on leave during the War of 1812 as military authorities ran the province. His stand-in during this time was Isaac Brock, who "sought an active role in the impending war as keenly as Gore sought to escape it". Gore resumed his role as lieutenant-governor from 1815 to 1817. During his second term, Gore prorogued the Legislative Assembly after it challenged his ban on issuing land grants to American refugees and made other criticisms of his administration. Robert MacIntosh, in his book Earliest Toronto, describes Gore as "a man who was clearly the most incompetent and disliked Lieutenant Governor in the history of Upper Canada". Gore Vale, a north-south street on the eastern boundary of Trinity Bellwoods Park on the west side of downtown Toronto, is named after him.

In his 'Origines Antwerpianae (1569), a treatise describing the antiquities of Antwerp, Goropius reports various curiosities of his homeland.

The Terek Sandpiper found along the water's edge and preferring muddy areas. The bird is named after the Terek River which flows into the west of the Caspian Sea, as it was first observed around this area. In Australia they are known as Australian Godwits. From 'Birds of Australia' by John Gould and Henry Constantine Richter. Known as 'the Bird Man', John Gould (1804-1881) was a naturalist whose passion was the field of ornithology. He was inspired to work on Australian birds by the many 'strange and unusual' specimens sent to him by his two brothers-in-law, who had emigrated to Australia in the early 1830s. He therefore relinquished his post at the Zoological Society and travelled to Australia in 1838 to record the 'habits and manners of its birds in a state of nature' - in country that was then largely unchartered. The expedition resulted in Gould discovering over 300 species; although many of these were later deemed to be subspecies, many of his bird names have survived to this day. "The Birds of Australia", issued in 36 Parts between 1840 and 1848. It is a massive work comprising 8 folio sized volumes that depict and describe all of the 681 Australian bird varieties then known, many of them recorded by Gould himself for the first time.

[Columba Livia - Rock Pigeon.]
[Lithographed by Richter after John Gould.]
[London: John Gould, 1863-73.]
Lithograph with exceptional original hand colour. Image area 400 x 290mm (16 x 11½"). Trimmed at bottom, losing title and inscriptions.
Rock pigeons nesting on a sea cliff. The print was published in John Gould's monumental ornithological book, 'The Birds of Great Britain', which was issued in parts between 1863 and 1873. The quality of the hand colouring is superb, something Gould stressed: in the introduction to this work he wrote 'every sky with its varied tints and every feather of each bird were coloured by hand; and when it is considered that nearly two hundred and eighty thousand illustrations in the present work have been so treated, it will most likely cause some astonishment to those who give the subject a thought’.
