Lithograph. 702 x 529mm.
MP. For Wiltshire. John Linnel was an English painter who made a good living as a fashionable portraitist, but preferred to paint landscapes. In 1837, he married the daughter of Samuel Palmer, one of his influences. He gave up portraiture in the 1840's and moved to Redhill to devote his career to his landscapes. These paintings were highly desired and caused Linnel to amass a great deal of wealth. However, he was not favored among his colleagues and was denied membership to the Royal Academy.

Siecle des Mexiquains. Anne de Mexiquains. Les Mexiquains expliquoient leurs pensées, et donnoient une idée des choses sensibles par des Hieroglyphes, à la façon des Anciens Egyptiens. C'êst de cette maniere que leur Siecle et leur année etoient representez. Une Rouë peinte contenoit l'espace d'un Siecle distingué par années et chargé des evenemens memorables. Le Siecle etoit de 52. Années Solaires, chacune de 365. jours, 4 indictions de 13. Ans chacune formoient la division de la rouë & repondoient aux 4. parties du Monde de la maniere suivante. Un Serpent environnoit cette Rouë, et marquoit pas ses 4. noeuds les 4. divisions, l'Hieroglyphe de la premiere, qui marquoit le Midi, etoit un Lapin, sur un fond bleu, que l'on appelloit TOCHTLILA. de la seconde pour l'Orient , une canne sur un fond rouge. on l'appelloit ACATL. de la troisieme pour le Nord, une épée avec une pointe de pierre sur un fond jaune. on l'appelloit TECPATL. de la quatrieme pour l'Occident, une maison sur du verd. on l'appelloit CAGLI. Entre ces quatre divisions, il y en avoit douze petites dans lesquelles les quatre Hieroglyphes étoient distribués successivement en donnant à chacun sa valeur numerale jusqu'à 13. qui etoient le nombre d'année qui composoient l'indiction. on faisoit la même chose dans la deuxième indiction. avec les mêmes noms depuis jusqu'à 13. dans la troisieme et quatrieme jusqu'à ce que le Cercle de 52. Ans fut fini, de la maniere qui suit. On observoit cette maniere de compter par treize non seulement dans les années; mais aussi dans les mois, Ils recommencoient lors qu'ils arrivoient à 13. L'Année solaire etoit de 365. jours, et les Mois de 20. leurs noms & leurs Hieroglyphes sont marquez dans la figure par 1. 2. 3. & ainsi de suite jusqu'à 18. Pour faire l'Année complette de 365. jours, les Mexiquains en ajoutoient 5. aux 18. mois de 20. jours chacun, qui faisoient l'Année.

Francisco Javier Mina (1789-1817) was a Spanish Lawyer and army officer and a Mexican revolutionary. As a rebel and guerilla who fled during the Peninsula War, he sought to form a large enough group to engage in full-scale military actions, but he was captured in 1810; later released following the collapse of Napoleon's governent in 1814. On returning to Spain he was appalled by the abolition of the democratic state, which was previously established under the Constitution of 1812. He was ironically forced to flee to France, where he was convinced by Servando Teresa de Mier, a Roman Catholic priest, that he could attack Spain from the colonies. Therefore in 1816 he took two ships to attack Spanish shipping in the Gulf of Mexico and setup a base in Texas. Two failed attempts, one escape later and a final capture in 1817 led to his execution by firing squad in the Fuerte de los Remedios region in Guanajuato, Mexico, aged only twenty-seven.
