Oblong folio, disbound; etched title, 2pp text, six coloured etched plates, as called for. Title and text page foxed; two plates with single tears.
George Cruikshank's (1792 - 1878) satirical take on the theories of Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) and Johann Caspar Spurzheim (1776-1832).

He wrote numerous works bearing on phrenology, education, etc. All plates inscribed 'Designed Etched & Published by George Cruikshank August 1st. 1826'.

Engraving. 150 x 210mm (6 x 8¼"). Trimmed into image, laid on album paper.
Hieronymus Cock (c.1517-70) visited Rome in the late 1540s, inspiring him to start up his own publishing firm in Antwerp in 1548, which became the most important print publishing firm from outside Italy. After his death in 1570 the firm was continued by his widow (Volcxken Diercx) until her death in 1600, when many of the plates were acquired by Philips Galle. However this plate seems to have been acquired by the van Doetecum brothers, who published it in 'Operum Antiquorum Romanorum' in 1562, with Cock's name removed.

H Cock ex. [Antwerp, n.d., c.1550.]
Engraving, 16th century watermark. 150 x 210mm (6 x 8¼"). Trimmed into image, laid on album paper.
A long and curved barrel vault, probably part of the Colosseum. Hieronymus Cock (c.1517-70) vistited Rome in the late 1540s, inspiring him to start up his own publishing firm in Antwerp in 1548, which became the most important print publishing firm from outside Italy. After his death in 1570 the firm was continued by his widow (Volcxken Diercx) until her death in 1600, when many of the plates were acquired by Philips Galle. However this plate seems to have been acquired by the van Doetecum brothers, who published it in 'Operum Antiquorum Romanorum' in 1562, with Cock's name removed.

The other three plates are a portrait of Shakespeare after Houbraken, his memorial in Holy Trinity Church at Stratford-upon-Avon and Scheemakers' 18th-century monument in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey. The Oxford University Press published a deluxe six-volume illustrated edition of Shakespeare, the first complete edition to be published outside London. The fine bindings and the quality of the illustrations made the edition very popular; however Sir Thomas Hanmer (1677-1746, a Speaker of the House of Commons) had edited the text (not present here) with his own conjectures, without indictating what he had changed. 'William Shakespeare: A Textual Companion' (1997) describes the edition as ''one of the worst in the eighteenth century''.

A Perspective View of the Temple of Concord erected for the display of the National Fireworks in Commemoration of Peace, being the Celebration of the Grand Jubilee.
Printed (by permission) in Hyde Park August 1st 1814.
Very rare aquatint with etching, sheet 240 x 280mm (9¼ x 11"). Trimmed within plate. Small brown stain in sky on right. Slightly faded.
A view of the Temple of Concord, The print depicts an architectural structure erected for the fireworks display held 1 August 1814 in Green Park, London, to celebrate the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the Jubilee of George III. The mastermind behind the Temple was Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Congreve (1772–1828), a rocket designer and Comptroller of the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich. Congreve designed the Temple with assistance from stage designers from the Theatre Royal and master engineers. It was an elaborate structure illuminated with colored lamps and decorated with gilding, festoons, and painted transparencies. Congreve had commissioned some of the nation’s best artists such as Thomas Stothard (1755 – 1834) to design and paint allegorical scenes on these ‘transparencies’, each tableau praising ‘the Triumph of England under the Regency’. When illuminated from inside it was made to revolve, so that spectators might view each side in turn.
