The description of the poisoning of king John by a moonke of Swinstead abbeie in Lincolnshire.
[n.d., c.1590.]
Woodcut set in letterpress. Sheet 340 x 255mm (13½ x 10"). Woodcut trimmed on right, laid on album paper.
A woodcut with six panels illustrating scenes of the poisoning of King John by a monk of Swineshead Abbey (not Swinstead, an error also in Shakespeare's 'King John'). The story tells that John was a threat to the abbey. A Brother Simon went to Abbot William and was granted absolution before giving the king a cup poison obtained from a toad. Because John's taster was not available, Simon drank from the cup first but returned to his cell before dying. The king fell ill and died at Newark Castle. From John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, told as an illustration of the treachery of the Catholic church.
BM 1953,0411.74, a cutting of two panels of this print, ''a 16th-century edition''.

John Bull or an Englishman's Fireside!
[After C.J. Grant.]
[G. Drake.][n.d. c.,1833.]
Rare wood engraving. Sheet: 330 x 230mm (13 x 9").
Satire on attempts to enforce Observance of the Sabbath. John Bull sits miserably in a corner of a room. Having been paid his weekly wages after the shops had shut on Saturday, he has no food or 'bacca and is unable to go out for fear of the 'Arm'd Blue Devil', a bearded 'bobby' (a Metropolitan Policeman), seen through a window with a cracked pane. He complains 'This is Observing the Sabbath with a vengeance'. Between 1830 and 1847 the M.P. for Wigtownshire, Sir Andrew Agnew, introduced four bills to the House of Commons attempting to enforce the better Observance of the Sabbath. On his third attempt Charles Dickens wrote 'Sunday Under Three Heads' (1836), a personal attack on Agnew, whom he described as a fanatic, motivated by resentment of the idea that those poorer than himself might have any pleasure in life. Agnew left Parliament in 1837, ending the campaign. A woodcut after C.J. Grant's 1833 lithograph published by Tregear.

[John Knox's Home. Edinburgh.] 71. [John Knox's house is an interesting old house projecting into the High Street of Edinburgh. Knox's 'manse' is known to have been further up the street, but it is believed that he lived here for some time, towards the end of his life. Over part of the front of the ground floor is an inscription "Lufe God abufe al, and thi nychtbour as thi-self." The house, which stands near the old lower gate of the City, was purchased by the Free Church. The interior is well preserved and many relics of Knox are stored there. Perhaps the most interesting is the study where the great reformer is traditionally believed to have worked until a fortnight before his death.]

Painted by Rob.t. Woodburn. Engraved by Rob.t Dunkarton.
[Published June 4 1801, by R. Woodburn, Dublin; and Colnaghi & C.º N.º23, Cockspur Street, London.]
Scarce coloured mezzotint. Sheet 475 x 350mm (18¾ x 13¾"). Trimmed to image on three sides, into inscription area losing part of title and all of the publication line.
Three quarter length portrait of General Sir Henry Johnson (1748-1835) in uniform, standing before the town of New Ross, County Wexford. During the Irish Rebellion of 1798, Johnson was sent to occupy New Ross, which was then attacked by the Society of United Irishmen. When the attack failed, the British counterattack 'took no prisoners': one estimate puts the Irish dead at 2,800 of 3,000 attackers, against about 230 Loyalists.
