The 'Royal Charter', a steam clipper returning to Liverpool from Melbourne carrying a cargo of gold, 371 passangers and 112 crew, ran into a Force 12 gale. The wind snapped the anchor chain and drove the ship onto rocks, claiming 459 lives, the highest death toll of any shipwreck on the Welsh coast. The hurricane, considered the most severe of the C19th, was named the 'Royal Charter Storm', although that ship was only one of 133 sunk over two days.

Neither left the cottage for a single night until their deaths. Their devotion to each other and their eccentric manners gave them wide notoriety, becoming a tourist attraction. They lie buried in Plasnewydd churchyard under a triangular pyramid inscribed with their names.

H.W. Bunbury Esq.r del.t. J. Baldrey Sculp.t.
London, Pub'd Nov.r. 2; 1783, by W. Dickinson, Engraver & Printseller No. 158 New Bond Street.
Pair of stipple engravings, both sheets 285 x 280mm (11¼ x 11"). Both trimmed to platemark.
Pair of stipples depicting Welsh rural life after Henry Bunbury (1750-1811), amateur artist who enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. Tim Clayton writes: 'Prints by Bunbury and his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it.' These plates were originally published by the printmaker Joshua Kirby Baldrey in 1781 (for which see ref. 1069)- these are slightly later reissues after the plates had been sold on. For the individual (coloured) prints see refs. 1068 and 1069.

Copper engraving, 210 x 160mm. 8¼ x 6¼".
John Locke (1632 - 1704), influential philosopher and social contract theorist; oval portrait on a pedestal. Locke developed an alternative to the Hobbesian state of nature and argued a government could only be legitimate if it received the consent of the governed and protected the natural rights of life, liberty, and estate. If such consent was not given, argued Locke, citizens had a right of rebellion. Locke is one of the few major philosophers who became a minister of the government. Locke's ideas had an enormous influence on the development of political philosophy, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers and contributors to liberal theory. His writings, along with those of the writings of many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, influenced the American revolutionaries as reflected in the American Declaration of Independence. After Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646 - 1723), for 'Sketches from nature, in high preservation, by the most honourable masters. Containing upwards of one hundred and ten portraits, or characters, of the most conspicuous persons in the Kingdom'.
