The Maggot-bearing Stapelia.
Henderson pinx.t. Stadler sculp.t.
London Published July 1, 1801, by Dr. Thornton, Hinde Street.
Aquatint with some stipple & line, printed in colours, hand-finished. 530 x 400mm, 20¾ x 16". Smith watermark Tears repaired.
Stapelia hirsuta L. or Carrion Flower, from Dr Robert John Thornton's 'Temple of Flora' 1799-1807, considered by many to be the greatest English colour-plate flower book, and the first series of flower prints to show the plant within a habitat. Here this South African plant is shown in an almost alpine environment. Hiding underneath is a snake. Thornton (1768-1837) was an English physician and botanical writer. At Trinity College, Cambridge he turned away from the church towards medicine, having been inspired by the works of Linnaeus and Thomas Martyn's lectures. He went on to work at Guy's Hospital, London, where he later lectured in medical botany. Ht took some time off to travel abroad, which is when he began his ambitious work, the 'Temple of Flora', for which he produced a total of 33 coloured plates. His original plan was to publish seventy folio-size plates, however the lack of public interest spelled disaster and Thornton died in poverty.

Very rare aquatint, Sheet 425 x 690mm (16¾ x 27¼"), watermarked 'J Whatman 1813' (partial). Trimmed into image on three sides (c.3cm on right, losing engraver's inscription), into plate at bottom, vertical crease, bottom corners snipped.
A view of Orleans House, a Palladian villa on the Thames in St Margaret's, Twickenham, home to Louis Philippe, Duke of Orleans, between 1813 and 1815. A very large image with coaches and riders. The artist, Louis Marie Baptiste Atthalin (1784-1856), had been an aide-de-camp of Napoleon before taking the same role for Louis Philippe in 1814, after the first exile of Napoleon, at which time he painted this view. Despite rejoining Napoleon for the Hundred Days, Atthalin remained a favourite of the Duke: after becoming king in 1830 Louis Philippe made Atthalin Maréchal de Camp. When Louis Philippe abdicated after the February 1848 Revolution, Atthalin also lost his position, after which he retired from public life.

View of Waterloo Bridge, From the East end of Somerset House Terrace
T.H. Shepherd Del.t [...] J.C. Stadler Sculp
London Published April 12th 1818 at R. Ackermann's Repository of Arts, 101, Strand
Aquatint, platemark 430 x 530mm (17 x 21"). J. Whatman watermark 1817. Small margins.
A fine panoramic coloured view of London showing Waterloo Bridge, funded by public subscription and built to designs by the company of John Rennie (1761-1821) between 1811 and 1817. The granite bridge had nine arches, each of 120 ft span, and was 2,456 ft long, including approaches. When it opened, the bridge was christened Waterloo Bridge, in honour of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon in 1815. The bridge was replaced by the present Waterloo Bridge in 1945. This view, looking west from Somerset House Terrace, shows ceremonial boats on the Thames and Westminster Abbey prominent in the distance. Compared with other early views of the bridge, however, this print is unusual for the extent to which the bridge itself is allowed to dominate the view- other views often show the bridge from a greater distance or viewed from the middle of the river to include the surrounding buildings. After an early drawing by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd (1793-1864), younger brother of the draughtsman and watercolourist George Sidney Shepherd. Thomas Hosmer went on to become a successful and prolific provider of drawings from publishers of topographical volumes such as 'Metropolitan Improvements' (1827)- this separately-issued print is of greater quality than those later prints.

When it opened, the bridge was christened Waterloo Bridge, in honour of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon in 1815. The bridge was replaced by the present Waterloo Bridge in 1945. This view, looking west from Somerset House Terrace, shows ceremonial boats on the Thames and Westminster Abbey prominent in the distance. Compared with other early views of the bridge, however, this print is unusual for the extent to which the bridge itself is allowed to dominate the view- other views often show the bridge from a greater distance or viewed from the middle of the river to include the surrounding buildings. After an early drawing by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd (1793-1864), younger brother of the draughtsman and watercolourist George Sidney Shepherd. Thomas Hosmer went on to become a successful and prolific provider of drawings from publishers of topographical volumes such as 'Metropolitan Improvements' (1827)- this separately-issued print is of greater quality than those later prints.
