Revd. Wm. Huntington, Late Minister of the Gospel, Providence Chapel, Grays-inn Lane.
Drawn & Engraved by Thos. Overton.
London Published by Thos. Overton 51 New Bond Street Feb 7 1814.
Stipple, 355 x 265mm. 14 x 10½". A fantastic impression.
William Huntington (1745 - 1813), coal heaver and eccentric preacher. Huntington, the son of an agricultural labourer, worked in a variety of jobs including hearse driver and gardener. In 1773, he experienced a vision in which Christ appeared to him and assured him he was 'brought under the covenant love of God's elect'. He began preaching, although his views were often controversial. His doctrine was Calvinism flavoured with antinomianism, his method of interpreting scripture wholly arbitrary. He combined preaching with coal heaving and other casual work such as cobbling. Huntington had another vision in 1782, telling him to 'prophesy upon the thick boughs'. He moved to London and raised the capital to build Providence Chapel in Titchfield Street. His ministry flourished: his preaching attracted many rich and fashionable members of society and he officiated for more than a quarter of a century. A very scarce portrait, after Thomas Overton (fl.1818 - 1838), miniature painter.

Pub May 1 1788 by S W Fores Saterist N° 3 Piccadilly.
Hand coloured etching, sheet 265 x 430mm (10¼ x 17"), on I Taylor laid water marked paper. Trimmed to plate on left sides, thread margins on others.
A very fat Other Windsor (1751-1799), 5th Earl of Plymouth, and Sarah Archer (1762–1838) (Windsor, Countess of Plymouth, then later Countess Amherst) walk together arm in arm towards a country Church where the vicar and his clerk wait in the porch. Plymouth comments on this and Sarah Archer replies getting married will "repair" her virginity and on her mother's surly temper. Her discontented mother Lady Sarah Archer (nee West) walks away from them remarking that marriage hampers a hedonist lifestyle and that is not for herself. Sister's Maria, Harriet and Anne are behind the couple, two hold hands walking together where another turns her back on her mother running away. Lady Sarah Archer (nee West) was a gambler known as one of "Faro Ladies" whose virtues were scrutinized because of belief of domestic duty and sexual misconduct; women gamblers, after having lost their limited personal income (Pin-money), thus without legal or monetary credit to their name, could only wager their sexuality.

A very fat Other Windsor (1751-1799), 5th Earl of Plymouth, and Sarah Archer (1762–1838) (Windsor, Countess of Plymouth, then later Countess Amherst) walk together arm in arm towards a country Church where the vicar and his clerk wait in the porch. Plymouth comments on this and Sarah Archer replies getting married will "repair" her virginity and on her mother's surly temper. Her discontented mother Lady Sarah Archer (nee West) walks away from them remarking that marriage hampers a hedonist lifestyle and that is not for herself. Sister's Maria, Harriet and Anne are behind the couple, two hold hands walking together where another turns her back on her mother running away. Lady Sarah Archer (nee West) was a gambler known as one of "Faro Ladies" whose virtues were scrutinized because of belief of domestic duty and sexual misconduct; women gamblers, after having lost their limited personal income (Pin-money), thus without legal or monetary credit to their name, could only wager their sexuality.

[Hush]
C.W.C. 1878
Etching. Plate: 260 x 190mm (10¼ x 7½"). Uncut sheet; signed by artist in pencil. Creasing on Chine paper.
Etching by history painter Charles West Cope (1811-90), widely regarded as the finest of his prints. Cope is primarily remembered for his frescoes in the House of Lords and the peers' corridor, but in addition to his academic renderings of historical and literary subjects, he was a talented printmaker. He was a founder member of the Etching Club (whose members also included Samuel Palmer). This late etching of a woman caring for a baby (made soon before Cope left London to retire to the country) was originally one of a pair with 'Hope Deferred'.

Pub by T McLean 26 Haymarket. [n.d. c. May 1828].
Coloured etching. Framed. 245 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"). Unexamined out of frame.
Satire on the departure from Wellington's cabinet of William Huskisson, represented here as a schoolboy in a fool's cap kneeling before a closed door placarded 'Wellington House Academy'. Huskisson, who had entertained hopes of becoming prime minister before the position was offered to Wellington, voted against the government over the East Retford Bill and subsequently offered to resign 'as a matter of form, not substance' (DNB). Wellington, however, took him at his word and seized the opportunity to rid himself of an uncomfortable colleague. As a result Huskisson's friends Dudley, Palmerston and Grant, along with the Irish Secretary Lamb all resigned (their names are written on a slate next to Huskisson in the print), a situation described by the Duke as a 'mutiny'.

Printed by W. Day. 17 Gate Strt. [n.d., c.1825].
Lithograph, sheet 440 x 300mm. Foxing.
Hussein Dey (1765 - 1838) was the last of the Ottoman provincial rulers of Algiers (or Deys). Hussein hit the French consul with a fly-whisk as an expression of his anger over France's large (and growing) unpaid debt to Algeria. The French Minister of War used this offence as a pretext for an invasion of Algeria, which began three years later. The French army landed on July 5, 1830, near the capital Algiers, and they beat the Ottoman forces in short order. Hussein Dey accepted a French offer for exile, and with it France seized and looted the country, ending the three-century rule of the Ottomans.

A scene from Russo-Turkish War (1827-29), a rather romantic portrait of Hussein Pasha, commander of the Ottoman forces, astride a charger at the head of his mamlukes. The war started after the Russians helped the Greek independence movement fight the Battle of Navarino in 1827: the Turks closed the Dardanelles to Russian ships and revoked the Akkerman Convention. The war ended with the Treaty of Adrianople, which increased Russian dominance around the Black Sea area and Georgia, and, most importantly, forced the Sultan to promise autonomy for Greece.

Hussein Pacha. Hussein Pacha, aujourd'hui Général en chef de l'Armée du Danube, de simple Janissaire, devint Janissaire Aga, puis Pacha des Janissaires, il se mit à la tête de la révolution du 16 Juin 1826.
Peint à Constantinople chez l'Auteur, place Royale, No 1., et chez Caillou, rue St Honoré No 140.
[n.d., c.1828.]
Mixed-method engraving with large margins, scarce. 440 x 320mm (13½ x 12½"). Bit dusty.
'Hussein Pacha, today General-in-chief of the Army of the Danube, rose from simple Janissary to Aga then Pasha of the Janissaries; he was head of the revolution of June 16, 1826.' For centuries the Janissaries had held the reins of power in the Ottoman Empire, forcing the Sultan to bend to their wishes or be deposed. Attempts at reform were often countered with murder, preventing the Ottoman army from being modernised and resulting in huge territory losses as the empire failed to win wars. However in 1826 Sultan Mahmud II was ready and in the 'Auspicious Incident' provoked a Janissairy revolt and then destroyed their barracks with artillery, killing 4,000. All survivors were exiled or executed. Hussein Agha Pasha (1776-1849) sided against his former comrades and was made commander of the new Mansure Army.

Engraving. Plate 203 x 150mm (8 x 6").
Hussite Shield: three winged figures, around a shield, upon which is seen a man with a lance and sword. The Hussites were a Christian movement following the teachings of Czech reformer Jan Hus (c.1369-1415), who became one of the forerunners of the Protestant Reformation. This predominantly religious movement was propelled by social issues and strengthened Czech national awareness.

View of the Hustings in Covent Garden, _ Vide. The Westminnster Election, Novr. 1806. [Publish'd for the History of the Westminster & Middlesex Elections, Novr. 1806.]
Js. Gillray dest, & fect.
Publish'd Decr. 15th 1806 by H. Humphrey, 27 St James's Street, J. Budd, Pall-Mall, & R. Bagshaw. Brydges Street.
Hand-coloured etching, 275 x 340mm (10¾ x 13½"). Damaged. Trimmed within plate and glued to backing sheet
Published more than a month after the election, this print was issued as a supplement to Gillray's earlier series on the Westminster election of 1806 produced during the actual campaign. The three main contenders for seats in Parliament for the borough of Westminster appear under the hustings: Sir Samuel Hood chuckling to himself at the left, red-faced and angry Sheridan near the center, and the Radical James Paull with his arm outstretched at the right. The real contest for the two Westminster seats was between Paull and Sheridan since Hood, a respected war hero and the incumbent, had nothing to fear in his expectation of being re-elected. Paull's Radical supporters Cobbett, Burdett and Bosville stand beside him and a dog whose collar reads Peter Moore barks at Paull from the left. Moore was one of Sheridan's prime supporters and had nominated him. Whitbread (of the brewery fame) another of Sheridan's supporters, rests his hand on Sheridan's shoulder and offers him a foaming glass of beer. Hood won the Westminster election of 1806 decisively with 5,478 votes. Sheridan won the second seat with 4,757 votes and Paull lost with 4,481 votes. Good early colour.
