![[A Musical Assembly]](jpegs/61444.jpg)
[A Musical Assembly] Drawn by J. Farrer from the Original Picture by Hogarth.
Etched by G.Cruikshank [after Marcellus Laroon the Younger].
[n.d., 1819.]
Etching. Sheet 175 x 235mm (7 x 9¼"). Trimmed within plate, laid on album paper with letterpress title and description underneath.
The keyplate of a painting once believed to be by William Hogarth but is now attributed to Marcellus Laroon the Younger. It shows a fashionable salon during a 'musical assembly', with a key of 24 personages of whom only 12 are identified, with the central figure, '15', named as Lord Castlemain and '16' as Frederick, Prince of Wales (father of George III), with other members of the Royal Family. The letterpress describes how Hogarth painted the scene for Castlemain's house at Wanstead but was still in the painter's possession when he died. The painting, now in the Tate (T13316), is now attributed to Laroon (1679-1772) and the main figure identified as Charles Mordaunt (1658-1735), 3rd Earl of Peterborough, at a soirée at his house in Fulham. The only other identification the Tate suggests is the woman next to Mordaunt (14 here), ''possibly Anastasia Robinson, a distinguished singer then at the outset of her operatic career'', whom Mordaunt secretly married in 1722.

Etching, extremely scarce. 109 x 120mm. 4¼ x 4¾".
A man tunes a guitar sat in front of a large manuscript open to read: "W: W 1851. May." Colonel Francis Augustus Fane (1824-1893) was a Colonel who fought in the Indian Mutiny. He was commander of the Peshawar Light Horse. He gained the rank of Colonel in the service of the 25th Regiment. His life was full of excitement starting first as a soldier, then a banker before settling down as a country gentleman. He started life as a soldier in Antigua where he did some extensive sightseeing before returning to England for his second assignment which took him to Quebec, leading to further sightseeing with his uncle Major -General Mildmay Fane, around Niagara, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and Boston. In 1854 he returned to England to immediately join his uncle in India. It was until 1860 when he next moved to join the 25th regiment in Gibraltar. Following the death of his father in 1862 and the later death of his brother-in-law Anthony Willson, the Sleaford banker in 1866, he returned in November to end his army career, and embarked on a career in banking and finance. During his time as a soldier he managed to find a lot of free time to indulge in numerous pastimes. This enabled him to become adept at music, and at drawing, painting and engraving. Whilst in the West Indies he had a large organ, which he took with him and exchanged in Calcutta in 1857 for a large harmonium, which was lost during the Mutiny. This ability enabled him to play in church in Quebec and in 1860 he received a new piano from Berlin in Gibraltar. It wasn't until 1851 that he began etching, at which point he was in London based at a printers to learn that art of printing and engraving. He then bought his own printing press, which he took to India. After leaving finance he soon became involved in local affairs in Fulbeck and in farming. He became a Justice of the Peace in 1875; and was very active in the affairs of the Conservative Association and of the Agricultural Society. His diaries came to abrupt end in 1884, nine years before his death, so little can be said about his remaining years.

London, Printed & Published by A. Friedel, Jan.y 1838, at 252, Tottenham Court Road, London.
Lithograph. Printed area 305 x 210mm (12 x 8¼") with very large margins.
A man plays a musical instrument named "rumbling pot" as onlookers gaze at him admiringly. The instrument was very common in the Netherlands from 16th-19th century. Adam Friedel (1780- death date unknown) was a Danish artist, printmaker and publisher who, after serving in the Napoleonic wars, voluntarily joined the Greek army at the start of the Greek War of Independence, fashioning himself as Danish nobility. He was exposed by a real noble who proved his backstory to be a lie. After spending a year in Egypt he took refuge in London in 1824 where he opened a lithographer's shop. Between 1825 and 1826 Friedel printed and published, both in Paris and London, twenty-four lithographs with portraits of politicians and prominent military figures of the Greek War of Independence. He had drawn the portraits himself, in most cases from nature, while J. Bouvier coloured and lithographed these images. The series was a success and he was awarded for his contributions to the Greek Struggle for Independence with two decorations. For health reasons he travelled around a lot. He travelled to Smyrna and taught at a Greek school. He stayed at the Ottoman Capital during the Crimean War and painted several portraits of various politicians. In 1865 he asked for a pension for his services to Greece however little is known about what happened to him after that and his place and date of death is unknown.

Adrien Nargeot.
Imp. Lemercier. [n.d. c.1850.]
Engraving, cut at top. 223 x 319mm (8¾ x 12½").
Alfred Louis Charles de Musset-Pathay (1810-1857), the French dramatist, poet and novelist. The tale of his celebrated love affair with George Sand, which lasted from 1833 to 1835, is told from his point of view in his autobiographical novel, 'La Confession d'un Enfant du Siecle'. He is also believed to be the author of Gamiani, or Two Nights of Excess (1833), a lesbian erotic novel, also believed to be modelled on George Sand. Victor Hugo (1802-1855), the famed French poet, novelist and dramatist of the Romantic movement. Musset's French Romanticism was not appreciated by Hugo, and the feeling was mutual on Musset's part. It is said that Musset's rivalry was seen as the natural revolt of the youngest of the Romantics against the leader of the tribe.
