[Lot and his Daughters]
[Robert Robinson after Simon Vouet, c.1690]
Mezzotint, platemark 180 x 160mm (7 x 6¼"), with very large margins. 19th century impression on wove paper.
Lot and his daughters escaped the burning city of Sodom (seen in the distance here, lower right) to dwell in a mountain cave. His daughters, fearing that they would not be able to have children in any other way, plied their father with wine in an episode depicted by many artists. Mezzotint by painter and engraver Robert Robinson (fl.1674-d.1706). Robinson is chiefly remembered for early mezzotints such as this, while the most notable of his surviving paintings are the panels he painted for a house on St Botolph Street in the City of London, now housed at the Sir John Cass School in Aldgate.

Matheus fecit.
[n.d., c.1680.]
Engraving. Sheet 195 x 145mm (7¾ x 5¾"). Trimmed within plate.
A full length portrait of Louis XI (1423-83), standing before a table on which is a small clock. Through the window are two figures with armies meeting, probably a reference to the Treaty of Picquigny, in which Louis paid Edward IV a large sum of money to withdraw his army away from France and renounce English claims to Normandy and other French lands, thus ending the Hundred Years' War.

[Louis XIII on horseback with a lance.] Figur. 39. 3 part.
[drawn and engraved by Crispijn de Passe the younger.]
[Paris, c.1623.]
Engraving. Sheet 210 x 300mm (8¼ x 11¾"). Trimmed within image, edges chipped. Damaged and loss.
The king in profile with portraits of eleven named courtiers. A plate from Antoine de Pluvinel's important work on dressage, published first in 1623 as 'Le Maneige Royal' and secondly as 'L'instrvction du Roy, en L'exercice de Monter a Cheval' in 1625. Pluvinel (1562-1620), the first French riding master, taught Louis XIII to ride, so the king often takes centre stage in the plates from this work.

Rare mezzotint, proof before letters, 330 x 230mm (13 x 9"). Small margins. Cockling. Laid on album sheet at three corners.
Half-length portrait of Louis XV turned slightly to the right, gazing forward, dressed with a sash and the badge of the Order of the Saint-Esprit, wearing a frilled cravat and a queue wig, and holding his hat beneath his left arm; set within an oval frame. Louis XV (1710-1774) ruled as King of France and of Navarre from 1 September 1715 until his death on 10 May 1774. Coming to the throne at the age of five, Louis initially reigned with the aid of the Régent, Philippe, duc d'Orléans, his great-uncle, taking formal personal control of government on 15 February 1723, the date of his thirteenth birthday. Most historians view his reign as damaging, arguing that poor leadership and lavish spending weakened France, drained its finances, and undermined both the monarchy and its global standing. A minority, however, contend he was popular in his lifetime and later maligned by revolutionary propaganda. By the time Louis XVI succeeded him, the kingdom faced severe financial crisis and urgent need for reform, setting the stage for the French Revolution.

On Monday 21 January 1793, stripped of all titles and honorifics by the Republican Government, Citoyen Louis Capet (King Louis XVI of France, b.1754) was beheaded by guillotine in the Place de la Révolution (now the Place de la Concorde), Paris.

Engraving on india paper, proof before title. 290 x 480mm, 11½ x 19". Margins a little tatty and chipped, with small tears. Otherwise fine.
According to a pen annotation on verso, this is a headpiece to the London Almanac of 1794. The central design, a highly sentimental portrayal of the French Royal family inside the King's cell, is flanked by cannon and flag with a view of a chateau and guillotine through arched stone windows. On Monday 21 January 1793, stripped of all titles and honorifics by the Republican Government, Citoyen Louis Capet (King Louis XVI of France, b.1754) was beheaded by guillotine in the Place de la Révolution (now the Place de la Concorde), Paris.
