Stipple engraving sheet 220 x 180mm (8¾ x 7"). Time stained.
On September 15,1784, Vincent Lunardi, a young Italian, demonstrated the success of his French predecessors before a great multitude in London including the Prince of Wales and many eminent statesmen. In a hydrogen balloon, brightly decorated, Lunardi ascended with a dog, a cat, and a pigeon, and traveled 24 miles. His friend George Biggin had planned to accompany him, but the impatience of the crowd forced Lunardi to make the attempt before the bag was completely inflated. The British were immediately captivated by the fad of ballooning and Lunardi became the most sought after person in London.

Rare engraved map. Sheet 340 x 430mm (13¼ x 17"). Tear into image bottom centre; Edges chipped, binding folds.
The Battle of Lund (4th December 1676), fought between the Danish army of King Christian V and the Swedish under Charles XI as part of the Scanian War (1675-9). Although a decisive Swedish victory the battle crippled both sides. The casualty rate was high: the Danish dead numbered 6,000 out of 13,000, the Swedish nearly 3,000 of 8,000, one of the highest percentages of any European battle in history.
