Two scenes: a view of the ships of the Royal Navy; and Queen Charlotte in a drawing room with Phoebe Wright (c.1710-78), an embroiderer who founded the "Royal School of embroidering females" in 1772, with the queen's patronage. Wright had a shop in Great Newport Street, which had supplied embroidered furnishings for the various royal residences. The school was to train indigent young daughters of professional men who had some association with the Court, but who had either died or had become impoverished. Queen Charlotte not only subscribed £500 a year but also regularly visited the school, giving commissions, including the fabrics and bed hangings for the queen’s new state bed at Windsor Castle (now at Hampton Court).

A map of the proposed boundary between the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska, prepared for the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, and published in the Congressonal Record. 'The Kansas-Nebraska Act' was one of the milestones en route to the American Civil War: when the territories were opened up for settlement it was decided to give them a free vote about whether to allow slavery or not. Agitators for both sides poured in, including the infamous John Brown and his sons, who murdered five pro-slavery farmers with a broadsword. The dispute also split the traditional political parties, the Democrats & Whigs, with the dissenters turning to the naisant Republicans. The major political camps were now divided geographically, Republicans for the North and Democrats for the south.

M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] Litho. Newlands 1829.
Very rare lithograph on chine collé. 165 x 165mm (6½ x 6½").
View near Milford on Sea, Hampshire, looking towards the needles. Taken from the country seat of Newlands, which the naval officer Sir William Cornwallis bought in 1799. The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).
