Portrait of Joseph Huddart FRS (1741–1816) was a British hydrographer, engineer and inventor. He surveyed harbours and coasts but made a fortune from improving the design and manufacture of rope. He was highly regarded in his time, and his likeness featured in an engraving of distinguished men of science. Huddart was chosen to feature in the central group of the picture with M. I. Brunel, James Watt, Matthew Boulton and Thomas Telford. In 1778 he started out on four voyages to the east, eventually in command of the East Indiaman Royal Admiral for her maiden and two subsequent voyages. He completed surveys of the coast of India and Sumatra. From 1788 he completed surveys of the Hebrides and in 1791 he became a fellow of the Royal Society and joined the management of Trinity House as an elder brother. He took charge of enquiries regarding light, lighthouses and charts and he supervised and directed the construction of the Hurst Point Lighthouse. Huddart's guide to navigation to China and New Holland was published in 1801

London, Published by D'Alma70]
Rare lithograph, printed area 200 x 300mm (8 x 11¾"). Tear in right corner.
Remarkable print of a Welsh family of young virtuosi harpists. Eldest brother, Joseph Tudor Hughes (1827-41), was given a bardic name, ‘Blegwryd', aged seven and at twelve he published British Melodies, with arrangements made by him for harp and piano. In 1838 he and his family emigrated to Virginia; they toured America, performing at the White House. Joseph drowned in the Hudson River. The second brother, David Edward (1831-1900) became a professor of music at St. Joseph's College, Bardstown, aged 19, but gave up music to be an inventor. In 1855 he patented a printing telegraph: his Hughes Telegraph System became an international standard. He also improved microphones and is believed to have noticed radio waves nearly a decade before they were proven to exist.

Victor-Marie Hugo (February 26, 1802-May 22, 1885) is recognized as the most influential Romantic writer of the 19th century and is often identified as the greatest French poet. His best-known works are doubtless the novels Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). Poetry was another of his vocations: among many volumes, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem. Though extremely conservative in his youth, he moved to the political left as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism and of a European Union. His work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time.
