Count Nikolay Pavlovich Ignatyev (1832-1908), Russian statesman and diplomat. Ignatyev's diplomatic career began at the Congress of Paris in 1856, which negotiated the Russo-Ottoman border following the Crimean War. After short assignments in London and central Asia, Ignatyev was sent to China where he obtained for Russia Outer Manchuria in the Treaty of Peking. This success secured him the post of amabassador at Constantinople (Istanbul) which he occupied from 1864-77. His work there culminated in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-8, after which he fell out of favour with Alexander II and retired from active service.

[Frontispiece of 'Ignoramus. Comoedia.']
[London, 1737.]
Engraving. 140 x 80mm (5½ x 3¼").

Comoedia.' was a satirical play on the judiciary written by George Ruggle (1575-1622) and was first performed in 1615 before an audience including James I. The play caused the English meaning of the Latin word 'ignoramus' to change from 'I do not know' to 'a dunce'. Ruggle worked for the Virginia Company for the last three years of his life, leaving £100 for the Christian education of American Indian children in the colony in his will.

[Two plates from 'Illustrations of Time']
Designed Etched & Published by George Cruikshank [1827]
Two etchings, each sheet approx. 275 x 290mm (10¾ x 11½"). Glued to opposite sides of same backing sheet.
Two sheets of images from 'Illustrations of Time' by George Cruikshank, published in 1827, including a real tennis scene. Cruikshank (1792-1878) was an English caricaturist and book illustrator. Cruikshank started out as a political satirist in the same vein as Gillray and Rowlandson, whose work was so powerful that in 1820 he received a royal bribe of £100 for a pledge not to caricature His Majesty King George III. In later life Cruikshank had a second career as a prolific book illustrator : 'Illustrations of Time' was one of several such volumes he published in the 1820s. From the 1840s onwards Cruikshank devoted much of his time towards championing temperance- his career therefore encapsulating the shift from Regency to Victorian morality.

An Imperial Sledge. Plate 21, Vol.1.
No.4, of R.Ackermann's Repository of Arts &c.Pub. April 1.1816.
Hand coloured engraving. 146 x 241mm. 5¾ x 9½". Faint toning and small amount of damage where the print has been removed from an album.
Plate illustrating an 'Account of the Grand Imperial Sledge-Party at Vienna, in January, 1815' in Ackermann's Repository of Arts. The article states that 'the sledges of the emperors and kings were in the form of a phaeton, as represented in the annexed engraving'. This suggests that the sledge was similar to that used by the following participants in the sledge-party (listed in the account in the order in which the cavalcade proceeded): The Emperor of Austria with the Empress of Russia. The Emperor of Russia with the Dowager Princess of Auersperg. The King of Denmark with the Grand-Duchess Maria of Russia. The King of Prussia with the Dowager Countess Lazansky. After travelling through the streets of Vienna the company dined in the imperial palace of Schoenbrunn and watched opera and ballet in the palace's theatre before returning by sledge to the imperial palace of Vienna, whence the cavalcade begun. Ackermann's Repository of Arts was an illustrated, British periodical published from 1809-1829 by Rudolph Ackermann. The formal title of the publication was "Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashions, and Politics", and it did cover all of these fields. At the time, it was considered to be of great influence to the English taste in fashion, architecture, and literature.

Pub July 22 1830 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket.
Etching. 260 x 365mm (10¼ x 14½").
John Bull on a spit, being roasted on a spit by government ministers, black-bodied but white-faced, clad in loin cloths. Bull is held in place by two skewers, marked 'Free Trade' and 'Corn Bill, and drips 'Tax' into a bowl lined with bread inscribed 'Sop' and 'Place', 'Pension' or 'Sinecure'. Peel and Wellington baste Bull with ladles, watched by Lyndhurst, Sugden, Scarlett and Eldon. Just arrived, William IV is astonished at the sight and says: 'I must put a stop to this'. It is a satire on the victimisation of the British public by the 'Tax Eaters' of the government. William IV had only been on the throne a month and was much more popular than his predecessor. Pacific interest.
