Portrait of Maurice Margarot (1745-1815), a founding member of the London Corresponding Society, was a leading advocate of parliamentary reform.

After defending himself in a speech deemed seditious, he was convicted and transported to New South Wales with other radicals known as the Scottish Martyrs. During the voyage, allegations of a planned mutiny led to several prisoners being confined, though Margarot was not; claims of his involvement were made but never formally examined on arrival.

The harbour of Margate, Kent, from Philip James De Loutherbourg's great work 'Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain'. This series of six large aquatints had been originally published by Bowyer in 1801, with plates etched by J.C. Stadler; for this second edition the plates were re-engraved by John Hill, with only slight differences. The German-born painter had already made his name in Paris before moving to London in 1771, where he became the principal scenery designer for Garrick at London's Drury Lane Theatre. Also in the theatre, he invented the 'Eidophusikon', a moving panorama enhanced with mirrors, displayed with accompanying music.

Paris chez Chaillou Editeur rue St Honoré No. 140.
Lithograph, image 175 x 130mm (7 x 5") with very large margins. Uncut sheet; publisher's blindstamp.
Dona Maria II (1819-53), queen regent of Portugal and the Algarves from 1826-28, and from 1834-53, here portrayed at the age of around thirteen. Maria had been nominated by the elderly King Joao VI to serve as regent (as his favoured son Pedro was emperor of Brazil), but in 1828 the Joao's exiled son Miguel deposed Maria, proclaiming himself king. Thereafter Maria travelled to various European courts in search of support. Pedro later joined forces with Maria, warring with Miguel and forcing him to abdicate, restoring Maria to the throne. From a series of portraits by lithographer Antoine Maurin dit l'aîné (1793 - 1860).

Marie Christine, Reine d'Espagne
A. Maurin 1833 [in image]. Lith. de Lemercier rue du Four S.G. No.35
Paris chez Chaillou Editeur rue St Honoré No. 140
Lithograph, image 175 x 125mm (7 x 5"). Wove paper; uncut sheet; foxing to margins; publisher's blindstamp.
Maria Christina of the Two Sicilies (1806-78), Queen consort of Spain (1829-33) and Regent of Spain (1833-40). Maria Christina married the Spanish king Ferdinand VII in 1829, becoming regent for her daughter Isabella (the future Queen Isabella II of Spain). During the Carlist Wars (which ensued when Isabella's uncle Infante Carlos, Count of Molina tried to seize power), Maria Christina retained the throne for her daughter. Soon after the death of Ferdinand VII in 1833, Maria Christina secretly married a royal guard, Agustín Fernando Muñoz (1808-73), as to remarry publicly would have forfeited her regency. Eventually, the marriage became public and, as her position became increasingly intolerable, Maria Christina renounced the regency and left Spain with Muñoz, spending the remainder of her life in France. From a series of portraits by lithographer Antoine Maurin dit l'aîné (1793 - 1860).
