The Last Stake. Designed by Stuart.
Murray Delin.t. Junto fec.t.
Publish'd according of act Dec.r 6. 1779. for J. Almon in Piccadilly London.
Etching, sheet 250 x 335mm (10 x 13¼"). Trimmed within plate.
A satire on the state of the country that year. The names of the artists indicate that the creator believed this to be the fault of John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-92) (Stuart), carried on by William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield (1705-93) (Murray) and executed by the Junto (Whigs). A bull representing John Bull is being lured on the other side of a creek that is marked "Rubicon - Flu -". Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford (1732-92) sits on his back, heavily fat and dozing off, ; at his back is a large square pack, inscribed "Taxes". The bull is restrained by a rope that is looped around a post bearing the inscription "The Last Stake," with a Scotsman in Highland attire intended for Bute and Mansfield in judge's robes and a wig holding the end of the rope. A pole and a club are being used by two other members of "the Junto" to prod the bull. Spain and France are using spears and swords to assault the bull. Spain wears a cut doublet, ruff, and cloak, while France dons a coat, hat, and bag-wig in French fashion. Behind them George III, who is idly observing the conflict with his hands in his pockets as they stand in front of an inn entrance gets a chamber pot emptied on his head by a woman's arm out the window. The signboard with the crown above the door is falling off and is only hanging by one hook. On the nearer side of the "Rubicon" a Dutchman stands facing the wall of a building, urinating on a paper inscribed "British Memorial".

[A Musical Assembly] Drawn by J. Farrer from the Original Picture by Hogarth.
Etched by G.Cruikshank [after Marcellus Laroon the Younger].
[n.d., 1819.]
Etching. Sheet 175 x 235mm (7 x 9¼"). Trimmed within plate, laid on album paper with letterpress title and description underneath.
The keyplate of a painting once believed to be by William Hogarth but is now attributed to Marcellus Laroon the Younger. It shows a fashionable salon during a 'musical assembly', with a key of 24 personages of whom only 12 are identified, with the central figure, '15', named as Lord Castlemain and '16' as Frederick, Prince of Wales (father of George III), with other members of the Royal Family. The letterpress describes how Hogarth painted the scene for Castlemain's house at Wanstead but was still in the painter's possession when he died. The painting, now in the Tate (T13316), is now attributed to Laroon (1679-1772) and the main figure identified as Charles Mordaunt (1658-1735), 3rd Earl of Peterborough, at a soirée at his house in Fulham. The only other identification the Tate suggests is the woman next to Mordaunt (14 here), ''possibly Anastasia Robinson, a distinguished singer then at the outset of her operatic career'', whom Mordaunt secretly married in 1722.

[Bothians] Nimna Himna. called by the Men Old Greedy
On Stone by J. Brandard, from the original Drawing by Captain Ross [c.1835]
[London: A. W. Webster, 156 Regent Street, 1835.]
Lithograph, with hand colour. Sheet 235 x 185mm (9¼ x 7¼")
A woman from the Boothia Peninsula, Nunavut, Canada, described by John Ross in his 'Narrative of a Second Voyage in Search of a North-west Passage' (1835), from which this print originates. In his narrative, Ross writes that Nimna Himna 'was a constant visitor to the ship, and generally carried off something which she had picked up. On one occasion, when coming up the ladder, she was tumbled off by the surgeon, and falling on her back, pretended to faint; from which, although all the doctor could do could not recover her, she was restored by the offer of an empty tin case, which had contained preserved meat: a stratagem which she subsequently tried more than once without success. She was about sixty years of age, five feet two inches high, extremely ill-looking, and decidedly the most disgusting of the whole tribe'. Ross was forced by ice to stop at the Boothia peninsula (which he named after his patron Sir Felix Booth) for four years while searching for the north-west passage.

Lithograph, with hand colour. Sheet 235 x 185mm (9¼ x 7¼")
A woman from the Boothia Peninsula, Nunavut, Canada, described by John Ross in his 'Narrative of a Second Voyage in Search of a North-west Passage' (1835), from which this print originates. In his narrative, Ross writes that Nimna Himna 'was a constant visitor to the ship, and generally carried off something which she had picked up. On one occasion, when coming up the ladder, she was tumbled off by the surgeon, and falling on her back, pretended to faint; from which, although all the doctor could do could not recover her, she was restored by the offer of an empty tin case, which had contained preserved meat: a stratagem which she subsequently tried more than once without success. She was about sixty years of age, five feet two inches high, extremely ill-looking, and decidedly the most disgusting of the whole tribe'. Ross was forced by ice to stop at the Boothia peninsula (which he named after his patron Sir Felix Booth) for four years while searching for the north-west passage.

Scarce tinted lithograph. Sheet 355 x 430mm (14 x 17"), large margins on three sides. Bit dusty
The interior of a Chinese opium den. Sir Harry Darell (1814-53), Baronet of Richmond Hill, entered the army as an ensign in the 18th Foot in 1832, becoming lieutenant in 1835. During the First Opium War he was aide-de-camp of Brigadier-General Burrell of the 18th Irish Regiment: he was present at a conference between J.J.Gordon Bremer and Admiral Chang on board HMS Wellesley (4th July 1840, subject of a lithograph by Darell also published 1842, which includes a self-portrait), just prior to the Taking of Chusan, at which he fought. He was promoted to Captain in 1841. He then served in South Africa with the 7th Dragoon Guards, being promoted to Major in 1847, then Lieut-Colonel by brevet the following year. He died in Sardinia. Although he published 'China, India, Cape of Good Hope and Vicinity. A Series of Thirteen Treble-Tinted Views from Sketches by Lieut.-Col. Sir Harry Darell, Bar.t', this plate predates the book by a decade. This plate seems to be a pair to his view of the Chusan Conference.
