Pubd. as the Act Directs Oct 1st: 1771. by MDarly 39 Strand.
Etching, 150 x 105mm. 6 x 4¼".

Letterpress certificate. Sheet: 155 x 190mm (6 x 7½''). Laid on album sheet.
A blank certificate from the famous parish of Gretna Green. Gretna Green was a popular destination for eloping couples because it was the first, easily reachable town across the Scottish border where marriage laws were much more relaxed in comparison to England and Wales. Couples just had to find two witnesses and did not need parental consent to marry. Scotland also permitted 'irregular marriages' which allowed almost anyone to conduct a marriage if two witnesses were present. Manuscript on a scrap below states 'Springfield Oct.r 11 1820 David Lang Parish of Gretna Green'. David Lang (1792-1827) was a famous 'Blacksmith Priest' who would conduct marriages in Gretna Green, he was nephew of Joseph Paisley who was the first of these priests. Lang was born in Lancashire and worked as a peddlar, he was captured by a press gang and forced to join the navy. While at sea his ship was captured by John Paul Jones and he joined his crew as a pirate but when the ship neared the Solway Coast he slipped overboard and swam to Gretna Green. His son Simon Lang also became a 'Blacksmith Priest' but was forced to other jobs with the decline in Gretna Green marriages after 1837.

Joshua Marsden (1777-1837), Methodist minister and author. In 1796 Marsden enlisted in the navy, and his experiences of witnessing 'profanity in all its diabolical characters' seem to prepared him for the effect which Methodist services had upon him. He first preached on the Bolton circuit, and offered to become a missionary in Nova Scotia, Canada, when new recruits were sought in British North America. In 1808 he took up an appointment in Bermuda, an inhospitable colony which had imprisoned its first British missionary. Marsden was more successful, and when he left Bermuda in 1812 there were 136 members of the Methodist society on the island. The War of 1812 prevented Marsden from returning to Britain so he preached in the US for two years, sailing to Britain in 1814 and continuing his work there.

W. Gauci lithog. Printed by Englemann, Graf Coindet & Co.
[n.d. c.1826]
Very rare lithograph, sheet 265 x 370mm (10½ x 14½"), with large margins. Foxing.
A view of a building in the village of Marston St. Lawrence in Northamptonshire. Most likely Marston house. The house dates back to either the Elizabethan or Jacobean era, with one wing featuring a panelled room that has an intricately carved overmantel inscribed with the date 1611. However, the house was entirely rebuilt between 1700 and 1730, making the current structure either Queen Anne or early Georgian in style. It is now a Grade II listed building.

[Sir Henry Marten]
[Silvester Harding]
Watercolour and wash, oval, 125 x 105mm (5 x 4"). Tipped into album sheet with hand-drawn border.
Sir Henry Marten (c.1561-1641), civil lawyer and judge. Despite growing concerns about the government of Charles I, Marten seems to have remained in good standing with the king. Watercolour, probably after a 1799 stipple by Ignatius Joseph van den Berghe, Watercolour by Silvester Harding (1745/51-1809), artist and publisher. After setting up a shop in Fleet Street with his brother Edward in 1786, Harding was chiefly employed in drawing portraits of theatrical celebrities, and in copying ancient portraits in watercolours, as here. The partnership was dissolved by 1798 (before this watercolour was made). Harding was known to, and esteemed by the collectors of his day, and many examples of his work are in the British Museum. His son George Perfect Harding also specialised in watercolour copies of early portraits.
