![[Portrait of Chinese mandarin Hesing (Xi Sheng).]](jpegs/58948.jpg)
[Portrait of Chinese mandarin Hesing (Xi Sheng).] Sept 12th 1848. Keying. Hesing.
Scarce wood engraved portrait, signed and dated in ink mss, in both Roman and Chinese characters, with two Chinese stamps in red ink. 190 x 125mm (7½ x 5"). Laid on album paper, some staining.
A signed portrait of a Chinese mandarin who travelled aboard the 'Keying', a three-masted junk purchased in secrecy by British businessmen in Hong Kong, defying a Chinese law prohibiting the sale of Chinese ships to foreigners. She left Hong Kong in December 1846, rounding the Cape of Good Hope and becoming the first junk to visit New York in July 1847. Keying left for Britain in February and, despite being damaged in a storm, made the crossing in 21 days, a short period even for the American packet-ships. This portrait was published as a souvenir of the visit of the Keying to London, where it was visited by Queen Victoria.

T. Gericault inv.t. C. Hullmandel's Lithography.
London, Published by Rodwell & Martin New Bond Street. Feb. 1. 1821.
Fine lithograph, watermark 1820. Printed area: 285 x 405mm (11¼ x 16"). Tear to left edge.
Two horses wearing saddlecloths canter on a path towards the right, the one in the foreground is unmounted, held by the reins of the rider on the other horse. After Jean Louis André Théodore Géricault (1791-1824). From the only edition of Rodwell and Martin's 'Various Subjects drawn from life on Stone', known as the 'English Series'. Despite its commercial failure at the time, Gericault's 'English Series' is now considered to have been of the greatest importance in the development of lithography as an art form during the first half of the nineteenth century. Due to the comparitively small number of impressions printed before the stones were effaced, exampes of Gericault's lithographs from this series are now extremely rare and have always been amongst the most sought after of his original printed works.

Letterpress with wood-engraved vignette. Sheet 135 x 75mm (5¼ x 3"). Trimmed to printed border, laid on card.
An advert for a type of voltaic battery invented by Isaac Lewis Pulvermacher and marketed as a tool for electrotherapy. It includes a glowing testimonal from Golding Bird, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, who had been given a sample to test and found it a good source of electricity for medical purposes. However it was used here by Charles Meining, the Pulvermacher Company's London agent, without permission, alongside outrageous claims about its benefits. Bird's threat of legal action (against Meining as a quack rather than Pulvermacher) caused The Association Medical Journal, Medical Times and The Lancet to remove adverts for the machine.
