[Two plates with ink mss.] Sold by R. Martin Book & Printseller, 47 Great Queen Str.t Lincolns Inn Fields [n.d., latest watermark 1828.]
25 plates (of 104) plus 2 duplicates, engravings with stipple and roulette, all in original hand colour. Each c. 380 x 290mm (15 x 11½"), some on Whatman paper, watermarks 1820-8. Separate issue plates thus a few showing signs of wear, two plates without printed titles and numbers.
A collection of plates of the butterflies and moths of the US state of Georgia, illustrated with their larvæ, pupæ and the plants each prefers to feed. Originally published in 1797, the 'Natural History' was the earliest illustrated monograph devoted to the butterflies and moths of North America. However it was not a commercial success and existing sets are particularly rare. The publisher Robert Martin seems to have bought the plates c.1820 and issued them individually, not wishing to take on the expence of reprinting the text, sometimes writing his publisher's inscription on them by hand.

Fine hand-coloured etching, SWF in ink, 265 x 400mm (10½ x 15¾"). Thread margins top and bottom. Laid on backing sheet. Very small tear top right border.
Satire on the return of Fox (1749-1806), to Parliament for the debate of 3rd February, but without application to the debate itself. A schoolroom stands in for the House of Commons. Dundas (1742-1811) sits on the left with a cane; on the right, Pitt (1759-1806) suavely receives a new scholar. In the centre, Fox in a fool’s cap marked ‘Truant’, stands on a heap of papers and weeps, a birch-rod in his left hand. The papers include ‘Lists of Traitors, Reports of the Secret Committee, Reports, Quigly’s Life, Ld E. Fitzgerald, O Conners Confession, and Death & Caract[er].’ Pitt tells the boy in Court dress: "You are a New Scholar. I Perceive, be a Good Boy & you shall be rewarded. Say after me, P-E-N-Pen SI-si-Pensi-ON-on - Pension - thats a Good Boy!!!" The reply is: "P-E-N-Pen . . . [&c.]". Pitt holds a paper, 'Aye No Place Pension', and another on his desk, 'Plan for an Union'; from his pocket protrudes 'A List of Secret Traitors.' Beneath his stool are two bags: 'Old Wigs for Bad Boys' and, spilling guineas, 'Candle Ends Cheese Pareings & Sugar Plumbs for Good Boys.' Dundas, in tartan, turns threateningly toward desks labelled 'Forms for Sulky Boys', where Sheridan (1751-1816) and Burdett (1770-1844) look uneasy. He warns them: "Haud yere Tongues, Young Gentlemen - or Ye'll never Thrive i the World, Good Boys Should never Say any thing but Aye, or NO!"

[n.d., c.1810.]
Very scarce Letterpress with wood-engraved heading, with old ink mss. Sheet 540 x 375mm, 21¼ x 14¾". Old folds.
A endowment policy for Sir Archibald John Primrose (1783-1868), MP, then 4th Earl of Rosebery from 1814, appointed to the Privy Council in 1831. It relates to his divorce from Harriett Bouverie on the grounds of her adultery with Sir Henry St. John Carew St. John-Mildmay. A high-profile court case ended with Primrose being awarded £15,000 damages from Mildmay (at a time when the norm was nearer £3,000). This agreement was to ensure the continued payment of the money owed. As it is unsigned and there is much deletion of the printed text this would be a draft of the final agreement. The Westminster Society for Insurance of Lives and Survivorships was established in 1792, the first proprietary life office. It was amalgamated with the Guardian Assurance Company in 1863.

The Invalid Lodger or How to Follow a Prescription.
M.E[gerton.] I. Wilson Sc.
Published by S.Gans, 15, Southampton Street, Strand. [n.d., c.1825.]
Very fine hand coloured etching with aquatint, on 'W. King' watermarked paper. Image 255 x 195mm, 10 x 7¾". Trimmed to plate.
Social satire: a lodger being asked to keep his dog quiet by the landlord (entering left); the lodger replies that he has no dog and is himself responsible for the barking - following, he claims, the instructions of his doctor! The port the strange guest is drinking is apparently also part of the prescription. After M Egerton (1821 - 1827; fl.), humorous designer and social satirist; apparently an amateur since he often signs as 'Esq'.
BM Satires undescribed.
