[Chart containing the greater part of the South Sea to the South of the Line, with the Islands dispers'd throu' the same.]
[Engraved by Thomas Jefferys after Braddock Mead.]
Publish'd according to Act of Parliament and Printed for Robert Sayer in Fleet Street and Thomas Jefferys in the Strand. [n.d., 1768.]
One sheet only (of six). Engraved map with border, scarce but damaged. Sheet 440 x 545mm (17¼ x 21½"). Trimmed into plate, losing title above top border, damage in plate. Laid onto old canvas, in turn glued to board. Tears.
The bottom left sheet of Braddock Mead's important six-sheet map, 'A Chart of North and South America including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with the nearest coasts of Europe, Africa and Asia.' It shows the pre-Cook outline of New Zealand, Espiritu Santo (then posited to be the east coast of Australia), the Solomon Islands and Marquesas, with the routes of the major explorers marked. Despite being designed to be joined, each sheet had a printed border and an individual title, missing in this example, allowing the sheets to be sold separately. The map was originally published by Jefferys alone in 1753 but, after backruptcy in 1766 forced him to take on partners, this second edition was published with Sayer, apparently unrevised. A third state, published by Sayer and Bennett in 1775, has Cook's mapping of New Zealand.

A later strike of Charles Heaphy's view of Nelson Haven, New Zealand, slightly redrawn (lacking the faint sunbeams of the original). Originally published by Trelawny Saunders for the New Zealand Company c.1845, it has been suggested that the series was reprinted in 1891 to mark the 50th anniversary of the expedition this view depicts. Major Charles Heaphy (1821-81) arrived in New Zealand in 1839, going to work for the New Zealand Company; in 1841 he joined Arthur Wakefield on the expedition that led to the founding of Nelson, from where he took part in several expeditions to explore the north west corner of the South Island. In 1864 he was awarding the Victoria Cross for rescuing a wounded comrade during the Maori Wars. The four lithographs of this series are among the best known and most valuable New Zealand prints.

[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving. 305 x 445mm (12 x 17½").
Romanticized portraits of two Maoris. Both have hair decorated with feathers, one wearing a necklace, the other long earrings; neither have tattoos. In 1788 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse set sail from Botany Bay and was never seen again. Despite the upheaval of the French Revolution the National Assembly was moved to send an expedition in search of their lost hero, 1791-3, under Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. Despite finding no trace of La Perouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists, especially in Australia. This account, compiled by the expedition's botanist, Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière, was published as 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', with natural history plates by Redouté and Audebert. The work even has its own abbreviation in botantical literature, 'Voy.Rech.Perouse'.

[The Newbury Coat.] To Robert Throckmorton Esq.re Buckland House Farringdon This Print respresenting the beginning progress & completion of an extraordinary undertaking to prove the possibility if Wool being manufactured into cloth and made into a coat between sunrise and sunset, which was successfully accomplished on Tuesday 25th June 1811, Is respectfully dedicated his most obliged and humble Servant John Williams Sand Steward to the late Sir John Throckmorton.
Drawn on Stone by J.W. Giles
London Published by John Mitchell, 33 Old Bond Street.
Lithograph with large margins. Printed area 540 x 740mm (21¼ x 29"). A few creases in the sky.
A composite image showing a race to create a wool hunting coat from scratch in one day, held in Newbury Berkshire. The origin of the event was a comment made by John Coxeter, owner of Greenham Mills in Newbury to Sir John Throckmorton: 'So great are the improvements in machinery I have lately introduced into my mill, that I believe that in twenty-four hours I could take the coat off your back, reduce it to wool, and turn it back into a coat again'. Throckmorton calculated the time required for the various processes, accepting it could be done. Shortly after Throckmorton made a wager a thousand guineas that at eight o'clock in the evening of June the 25th, 1811, he would sit down to dinner in a well-woven, properly-made coat, the wool of which formed the fleeces of sheep's backs at five o'clock that same morning. A holiday was declared so the town could watch (greasy-pole climbing and fencing competitions can be seen to the right), and the race was on. Starting at five in the morning, Coxeter presented the coat to Throckmorton at 6.20, who put the garment on before over five thousand people, and sat down to dinner at eight o'clock in the evening. The sheep that provided the wool were roasted for the spectators. The 'Newbury Coat' is still owned by the Throckmorton family; an identical coat, made in a 1991 re-enactment, is in the West Berkshire Museum in Newbury.

Thomas Miles Richardson, (1784-1848) Having revealed a deep love of drawing he didn't follow this passion until after his fathers death when he accepted a position as Drawing Master at a Newcastle school. In 1813, after six years as both master of St Andrew's and a private drawing master, he resigned his school position to devote his life to painting. Initially his work attracted little local interest, and he found it difficult to make a living as an artist. However, from 1814, he began to gain a wide reputation as a result of his exhibiting works in London, at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. In 1813, after six years as both master of St Andrew's and a private drawing master, he resigned his school position to devote his life to painting. Initially his work attracted little local interest, and he found it difficult to make a living as an artist. However, from 1814, he began to gain a wide reputation as a result of his exhibiting works in London, at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. Richardson continued to live in Newcastle, and so dominate the local art scene. In 1822, his own house in Brunswick Place was used as the venue for the first fine art exhibition to be staged in the North of England. The success of the exhibition led to the foundation of first the Northumberland Institution for the Promotion of Fine Arts, and later the Northern Academy of Arts. In 1831, he also helped to launch the Northern Society of Painters in Water-Colours. A leading exhibiting member of these organisations, he made a particularly notable contribution to the Northern Academy in 1830 with four large paintings. Moot Hall, the Castle Keep, the neo-Gothic spire of St. Nicholas' church ar all visible in this view. Gateshead was a prosperous settlement in the Roman Times, and during the Industrial Revolution and Victorian Era it became one of the focal points for industries in the North East due to its easily accessible port.

A satire on parliamentary corruption. The new prime minister, the Duke of Newcastle, sits by the House of Commons, using a fishing rod to lure parliamentary candidates (all on horseback) to support him with promises of advancement. The riders all express their interests, including one saying 'Jews, & no Jews'. This image reflects popular backlash against England’s highly unpopular Jewish Naturalisation Act of 1753, often called the “Jew Bill.” The law allowed Jews to apply for naturalisation through Parliament. It passed easily in the Lords but faced strong Tory opposition in the Commons. Despite this, the Whigs, supporting broader religious tolerance, secured its passage, and it received royal assent. A surge of public antisemitism followed, prompting its repeal in 1754.

Thomas Miles Richardson, (1784-1848) Having revealed a deep love of drawing he didn't follow this passion until after his fathers death when he accepted a position as Drawing Master at a Newcastle school. In 1813, after six years as both master of St Andrew's and a private drawing master, he resigned his school position to devote his life to painting. Initially his work attracted little local interest, and he found it difficult to make a living as an artist. However, from 1814, he began to gain a wide reputation as a result of his exhibiting works in London, at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. Richardson continued to live in Newcastle, and so dominated the local art scene. In 1822, his own house in Brunswick Place was used as the venue for the first fine art exhibition to be staged in the North of England. The success of the exhibition led to the foundation of first the Northumberland Institution for the Promotion of Fine Arts, and later the Northern Academy of Arts. In 1831, he also helped to launch the Northern Society of Painters in Water-Colours. A leading exhibiting member of these organisations, he made a particularly notable contribution to the Northern Academy in 1830 with four large paintings. Moot Hall, the Castle Keep, the neo-Gothic spire of St. Nicholas' church ar all visible in this view. Gateshead was a prosperous settlement in the Roman Times, and during the Industrial Revolution and Victorian Era it became one of the focal points for industries in the North East due to its easily accessible port.
