[Adélaïde Marie Rogres Lusignan de Champignelles] Qui est elle? La Justice peut elle rester indecise?
M.mo. L. Foullon pinx. Benoist sculp.
[n.d., c.1800.]
Printed from two plates: aquatint portrait, stipple hand. Sheet 215 x 170mm (8½ x 6¾"). Slight soiling.
An unusual print, with a separately-printed hand reaching from a cloak on the left side of the sheet to point at the title, 'Who is she? Can Justice remain undecided?'. It is a portrait of Adélaïde Marie Rogres Lusignan de Champignelles, marquise de Douhault, widow of Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Douhault. Born in 1741 she was reported to have died at Orléans in 1788, and her attempts to reclaim her titles dragged on for some time: she petitioned both Emperor Napoleon and Louis XVIII! The paper she holds reads 'Périrai-je sans avoir recouvre mon nom?' (Must I perish without recovering my name?). Another state of this engraving has Adélaide's name rather than this enigmatic title, and the paper reads 'Requête à L'Empereur et Roi'.

Lucas Cranach Pinxt Fr. Muller Sculp.t
Inst. Bibl. Excud.t
Line engraving, platemark approx. 520 x 400mm (20½ x 15¾"), with very large margins. Uncut.
Martin Luther (1483-1546), theologian whose writings inspired the Protestant Reformation. In 1517 he famously published his '95 theses' attacking papal abuses and the sale of indulgences. Excommunicated by the Catholic church and declared a heretic, Luther's ideas were the foundation of a new conception of Christianity. He also translated the Bible into German to make it accessible to a larger number of people, contributing to the growth of the German language in the process. Engraving supposedly after Cranach, although far more in the idiom of the nineteenth century than Cranach's portraits of Luther. Provenance: Edge Hall Library, Cheshire

Luxor Temple, the large Ancient Egyptian temple complex on the east bank of the Nile River. Many festivals were celebrated in Thebes. The Temple of Luxor was the centre of the most important one, the festival of Opet. Built largely by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, it appears that the temple's purpose was for as a setting for the rituals of the festival. The festival itself was to reconcile the human aspect of the ruler with the divine office.
