[Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon, Rio de Janeiro] Lagoa das Tretas.
V. Adam del.t Dess d'ap nat. par Rugendas Lithog. par Maurin
Lith. de Engelmann, rue du Faub Montmartre No.6 a Paris [1827-35]
Lithograph, printed area 220 x 320mm (8¾ x 12½"). Crease.
The Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon, in the Lagoa district of Rio de Janeiro. Plate from 'Voyage pittoresque au Brésil' (1827-35), a volume of lithographs after drawings by Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802-58). Rugendas, who came from a family including several notable artists, travelled to Brazil in 1821 as draughtsman with the Russian diplomat Baron de Langsdorff’s scientific expedition. However, Rugendas left the expedition, discovering Brazil for himself and returning to Europe in 1825 with the extraordinary collection of drawings which provided the material for 'Voyage pittoresque'. Encouraged by the German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, Rugendas returned to Latin America in 1831, living until 1845 in Mexico and Chile with shorter stays in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Uruguay, and drawing and painting prolifically throughout this time. He returned to Bavaria, where nearly 3000 drawings and paintings were acquired by the local government, but he then went back to live in Brazil between 1845 and 1846.

La Grange. From a Bust in the Library of the Institute of France. Under the Superintendance of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.
Engraved by Rob.t Hart.
[London, Published by Charles Knight, Pall Mall East.] [n.d. c.1800.]
Stipple. 272 x 191mm (10¾ x 7½"). Scrap biography stuck down over publication line.
Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) was a mathematician and astronomer born in Turin. His main scientific contributions are as one of the creators of the calculus of variations, deriving the Euler-Lagrange equations for extrema of functionals. He also invented a method of solving differential equations, and his treatise "Theorie des fonctions analytiques" laid down some of the foundations of group theory, anticipating Galois. He transformed Newtonian mechanics into what is now known as Lagrangian mechanics, which exhibits the mechanical "principles" as simple results of the variational calculus.

The Laird of the Posts or the Exaltation of ye Bonnetts.
[n.d. c.1762.]
Etching. 115 x 127mm. 4½ x 5". Paper toning and foxing. Small nicks to the edges.
Pocket-sized satire. The resignation of the Duke of Newcastle, and the appointment of Lord John Stuart, 3rd Earl Bute (1713-1792) as Prime Minister. In an attempt to remove the influence of the Duke in Parliament, Bute ordered that all men appointed by the Newcastle administration be removed immediately. The result of this order became known as the Massacre of the Pelhamite Innocents. This came about following Pitt's resgination as Secretary of State, when he wished to declare war on Spain, but found himself alone on the matter, forcing him to resign. Bute replaced him at the order of the King who was also making life very difficult for the Duke of Newcastle, forcing him to also resign. Bute was made Prime Minister and he offered those who were opposed to the King's government the chance to serve as loyal servants or to leave; those opposed were dismissed.

Stipple printed in sepia, platemark 330 x 260mm (13 x 10¼"); very large margins.
Lais, a famous courtesan of ancient Greece. Engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), Florentine engraver and founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768. After meeting George III's librarian Richard Dalton in Italy in 1763, Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. This is the medium employed here, one of many prints he made from designs by his fellow Italian, G.B. Cipriani (whose name is incorrectly given here as 'J.G. Cipriani').

['M R.H.R.' artist's monogram
[Dated 1904, November 1913.]
Eight manuscript plans on linen in different combinations of pencil, black and red ink and watercolour. Sheets varying sizes, smallest c.190 x 300mm, largest c.370 x 690mm Folds, staining as normal.
Earl Eldon of Encombe, Dorset. At the end of the 19th century, Mr. Wyatt, an Englishman, arrived at Menaggio on Lake Como, northern Italy, and settled in nearby Croce. He and his English neighbour Mr. Mylius decided to build a course at Dervio on the opposite side of the lake. The location was not ideal however, and a hilly area in Grandola ed Uniti near Menaggio became the site of the 'Golf Club Menaggio and Cadenabbia' when the official decision was taken to start a golf club during a meeting held at the Hotel Victoria in Menaggio. The Italian Golf Federation defines 1906 as the year of the club's affiliation. These plans date from a few years later and perhaps show the early stages of the development of a clubhouse for the newly-established course. All captioned 'Lake Como Golf Club Dervio' along with an identification of the particular elevation or plan, some are numbered. One shows a finished elevation, the lower part of the pencil drawing completed in watercolour (a golfer carrying a club is visible to the right).

During the trial of Louis XIV he offered to defend the King, but was not allowed to return to France, and only did so after the establishment of the Consulate and was honoured with the title, Peer of France, by Louis XVIII and in 1816 he became a member of the French Academy. He then devoted the rest of his life to understanding and bringing about prison reform.

The Two Greatest Men in England. Dan,l Lambert who at the age of 36 weighed above 50 stone, 14 pounds to the Stone_ measured 3 yards 4 inches around the body, and 1 yard 1 inch round the leg; 5 feet 11 inches high.
C.W ad vivum del.t et fecit.
Pub.d, April 7th, 1806 by S.W Fores n.o 50 Piccadilly.
Rare hand coloured etching, 18th century watermark; 270 x 395mm (10½ x 15½"). Margins on three sides, trimmed to plate on bottom. Tears in margins. Light cockling. Slight crease in Fox.
Satire comparing Daniel Lambert (1770 – 1809) the gaol keeper and animal breeder famous for his size and the whig statesman Charles James Fox (1749 –1806). An uncharicatured Daniel Lambert sits in a bergère, which he completely fills. His hat is on a side table next to him. He looks slightly to the right but not directly at Fox who stands in profile with his hands behind his back. He stands in front of a small upright chair, placed for a visitor. Fox is a slightly more exaggerated version of himself with his head and features larger than those of Lambert, smaller in girth, but his paunch at least equally projecting.

La Muse, Calliope.
Peint par le Sueur Dessiné et Gravé par Picart [c.1720]
Very fine engraving, platemark 335 x 220mm (13¼ x 8½"), with very large margins.
Although claiming to represent the muse Calliope (associated with epic poetry), the work from which this derives is traditionally believed to by Terpsichore (associated with music). Engraved after the painting by Eustache Le Sueur (1616-55), one of a series which he produced for his patron, the financier Nicolas Lambert. Together, they were installed as the 'Chambre des Muses' at the Lambert's residence, Hôtel Lambert in Paris. Le Sueur, a founder of French classicism long considered the 'French Raphael', decorated the room in 1652 with paintings depicting the nine Muses and a ceiling painting of 'Phaeton asking Apollo's Permission to Drive the Chariot of the Sun'. In 1776 the paintings were all sold to Louis XVI, and today are in the Louvre. From a folio of engravings recording in details Le Sueur's many works for the Hôtel Lambert.
