[Death of Queen Victoria] The Manchester Guardian. Special Memorial Number, Including Supplement.
Wednesday, January 23, 1901.
Eight pages plus 12 page supplement. Pages c.650 x 560mm, folded and bound into green morocco boards, large 4to (330 x 305mm), stamped 'Queen Victoria' in gilt on cover. Binding a little rubbed, sheets generally good with usual signs of ageing.
An illustrated supplement commemorating the life and reign of Queen Victoria (1819 - 1901), including her three visits to Manchester. Victoria died at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight from a cerebral hemorrhage on Tuesday 22 January 1901, at the age of 81. Queen Victoria's reign marked the gradual establishment of modern constitutional monarchy. A series of legal reforms saw the House of Commons' power increase, at the expense of the House of Lords and the monarchy, with the monarch's role becoming gradually more symbolic. As Victoria's monarchy became more symbolic than political, it placed a strong emphasis on morality and family values, in contrast to the sexual, financial and personal scandals that had been associated with previous members of the House of Hanover and which had discredited the monarchy. Victoria's reign created for Britain the concept of the 'family monarchy' with which the burgeoning middle classes could identify. The Manchester Guardian was founded in Manchester in 1821 by a group of non-conformist businessmen headed by John Edward Taylor. The prospectus announcing the new publication proclaimed that 'it will zealously enforce the principles of civil and religious Liberty … it will warmly advocate the cause of Reform; it will endeavour to assist in the diffusion of just principles of Political Economy; and to support, without reference to the party from which they emanate, all serviceable measures.' In 1959 it became simply 'The Guardian'. An interesting contemporary record.

A collection of original drawings by Guercino and other Italian masters were acquired by the Earl of Bute while on his Grand Tour, and later given to George III (they remain in the Royal Collection today). The king's librarian, Richard Dalton, met engraver Francesco Bartolozzi in Italy and brought him to London in 1764 to engrave many of these drawings, alongside other engravers including (in this case) Joseph Basire. The plates were later published in two volumes by the Boydells as 'Eighty-two prints, engraved by F. Bartolozzi & c. from the original drawings of Guercino, in the collection of his Majesty'.
Ex: collection of the Late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd; for various other plates from the same project see refs. 21271, 21268 etc.

Figures and a cluster of trees to riverbank in foreground; buildings in distance on far bank (left). After Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (1591 – 1666), known as Guercino. One of a number of prints after drawings by Guercino and other masters in the Royal Collection, etched by Francesco Bartolozzi (1728 - 1815). The original drawings by the Bolognese artist were acquired by the Earl of Bute while on his Grand Tour, and later given to George III. The king's librarian, Richard Dalton, met Bartolozzi in Italy in the early 1760s. This brought Bartolozzi to London in 1764 under Dalton’s employ. The plates were later bought by the London publishers John and Josiah Boydell, and published in two folio volumes. This appeared in Boydells' 'Eighty-two prints, engraved by F. Bartolozzi & c. from the original drawings of Guercino, in the collection of his Majesty'.

A view of St Peter Port from the sea, highlighting the new protective piers. John Henry Bastide (c.1700-70) of the Corps of Engineers was based in the Channel Islands from 1726 to 1739, maintaining the defences. Sketches he made were finished by Claude Lemprière and published as 'General and Particular Prospects of the Islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Serc, Arm and Jethou'. From 1740 Bastide was chief engineer at Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, with responsibility for New England. In 1745 he helped in the siege and capture of Louisbourg; in 1756 he was Director of Engineers at Minorca when the French captured Fort St Philip during the Seven Years' War; in 1758 he returned to Louisbourg, taking charge of the fort's demolition after its capture; and in 1762 he helped construct Halifax Citadel and the defences to Halifax Harbour. He was promoted to lieutenant-general five months before he died in 1770.
