Hand-coloured etching. Sheet: 180 x 220mm (7 x 8½ "). Trimmed, losing letterpress verse, some damage on left edge, foxing.
John Liston (c.1776-1846), comic actor, on stage in the role of Mug, enslaved in Africa by 'a trading blackamoor', becoming 'his black Mandingo Majesty's white Minister of State'. The letterpress, not present, was a song 'Sung with unbounded Applause by Mr. Liston, in the New Play called The Africans; or War, Love, and Duty: written by George Colman, the Younger'. Refrain: '. . . won't you, won't you, come Mr. Mug ?' George Colman the younger (1762-1836), was manager of the Haymarket Theatre and the most successful playwrights of his age. His three-act musical 'The Africans' was based on Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian's 'Selico, Nouvelle Africaine'. An anti-slavery piece, it depicted the European slave traders as ridiculous characters.

Three quarter portrait of Robert Liston (1794-1847), a Scottish surgeon who performed the first operation using modern anaesthesia (ether) in Europe, in 1846, after this portrait was published. During his career in Edinburgh he knocked down Robert Knox, a surgeon and client of Burke and Hare, in a row over the body of Mary Paterson. His speed was not always beneficial: in one case he took a leg in 2½ minutes, but took the patients testicles as well; in another he cut off his assistant's finger and slashed an observer's coat, after which the patient and assistant died of gangrene and the observer died of a heart attack.

Lithographic Press.
R. Ackermann's Lithog.s [c.1820].
Lithograph, sheet 225 x 280mm (8¾ x 11").
Press used for making lithographs (of which this print is itself an example). To make a lithograph, an image is created on a slab of porous limestone, which is then imprinted on sheets of paper using a process based on the antipathy of grease and water to distinguish between inked and non-inked areas. Rudolf Ackermann, publisher of this print, was one of the first publishers to use lithography on a large commercial scale.

Little Bo-Peep.
[n.d., c.1850.]
Hand coloured lithograph, five vignettes, sheet 210 x 285mm. 8¼ x 11¼". Trimmed to image border. Fold creases.
An attractive illustration of the popular nursery rhyme ‘Little Bo Peep’ or ‘Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep’. The earliest record of this rhyme is in a manuscript of around 1805. There are references to a children's game called 'Bo-Peep', from the sixteenth century, including one in Shakespeare's King Lear (Act I Scene iv), but little evidence that the rhyme existed. A nice example of Victorian popular printing for children.
