Zusammenkunft Jhrer Majestaten... Entrevue De Leurs Majestes...[Francis I of Austria and Nicholas I of Russia] Munchengratz 10 September 1833.
F. Wolf lith.
Journal pitoresque. Eigenthum der Herausgeber Wolf und Weissenbach [n.d., c.1850].
Fine coloured lithograph, sheet 330 x 440mm. 13 x 17¼".
Münchengrätz, now in the Czech Republic, saw Prussia, Austria and Russia sign the Munchengratz Agreement in September 1833. This established a three-power alliance to 'support conservative causes' in Europe and the wider world. To counter the Munchengratz Agreement, Britain, France, Spain and Portugal signed the Quadruple Treaty in April 1834. This established the idea of two opposing power blocs in European politics for the first time. The first major event in which the two sides opposed each other was the Portuguese throne crisis of 1833-39. Francis II (1768 - 1835) was the last Holy Roman Emperor, ruling from 1792 until 6 August 1806, when he dissolved the Empire after the disastrous defeat of the Third Coalition by Napoleon at the Battle of Austerlitz. In 1804 he had founded the Austrian Empire and became Francis I of Austria (Franz I.), the first Emperor of Austria, ruling from 1804 to 1835. Nicholas I (1796 - 1855), was the Emperor of Russia from 1825 until 1855. Fine original colour. Publisher's blindstamp lower centre.

[Als from Edward Nicholas to Montagu Bertie, Baron Willoughby de Eresby.]
Whitehall 11 May 1640.
1pp. als in ink, folded with wax seal, addressed in the same hand, scarce. Later ink mss. description.
A manuscript letter from Sir Edward Nicholas (1593-1669) at the time a clerk in ordinary to Charles I's Privy Council. As one of Charles's most trusted advisors he helped negotiate the Treaty of Uxbridge (1645), Charles's surrender to the Scots and the Surrender of Oxford (both 1646). He continued to serve Charles II in exile, becoming secretary of state in 1654, a role he kept after the Restoration. The letter is written to Montagu Bertie (1608-66), the year he became Baron Willoughby de Eresby, probably for raising 'The King's Life Guard of Foot' for service in the First Bishops' War of 1639. He fought at the First Battle of Newbury, Cropredy Bridge, Lostwithiel, Second Battle of Newbury and was wounded at Naseby. At the Restoration he officiated as Lord Great Chamberlain at the coronation of Charles II on 23 April 1661.

The Grand Duke Nicholas. The Whitehall Review 23rd November 1878.
Judd & Co. Lith. Doctors Commons London.
Lithograph with tintstone, sheet 370 x 255mm (14½ x 10"). Foxing.
Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich of Russia (1831-91), third son of Tsar Nicholas I and brother of Alexander II. Trained for the military, as a Field Marshal he commanded the Russian army of the Danube in the Russo-Turkish War of 1777-8, which concluded shortly before this print was made. He did not distinguish himself in the war, however, and was removed from command following a series of reverses and unsuccessful attacks. Furthermore, he was charged with financial irregularities, of receiving bribes and embezzling money from the government. Following the assassination of Alexander II and succession of Alexander III (who had little respect for his uncle), Nicholas Nicholaevich was deprived of all influence.

Sir John Nicholl (1759-1838) was a Welsh Member of Parliament and judge. As a judge he was noted 'for inflexible impartiality and great strength and soundness of judgement'. Nicholl built an extensive practice and on the 6 November 1798 he succeeded Sir William Scott as King's Advocate and was knighted as was custom for the position. Within this role, Nicholl would often brief the Privy Council and Secretary of State on international law. In 1802, Nicholl was elected to Parliament holding the seat of Penryn in Cornwall. After a brief period as Member of Parliament of Hastings from 1806 to 1807, he was elected to the seat of Great Bedwyn, and remained the member of the constituency until the Reform Act of 1832, upon which time he retired. Nicholl was a staunch Tory throughout his political career and steadily opposed parliamentary reform and Roman Catholic emancipation. In 1809 he was appointed Dean of the Arches, was admitted to the Privy Council and became a judge of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. In 1833 Nicholl was appointed as a judge to the High Court of Admiralty and held the post until his death in 1838; though he resigned his offices of Dean of Arches and to the Prerogative Court, after he was made vicar-general to the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1834. For his work during the Napoleonic War, as a member of the volunteer movement, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Society of Antiquaries.

Pub. July 1834, by Ackermann & Co. 96, Strand.
Very scarce lithograph, sheet 185 x 215mm. 7¼ x 8½". Sheet trimmed.
Two European travellers visiting the tomb of Richard Lemon Lander (1804 - 1834), who explored the course of the Niger river, West Africa. The son of a Truro innkeeper, Lander's explorations began as an assistant to the Scottish explorer Hugh Clapperton, on an expedition to Western Africa in 1825. After Clapperton's death near Sokoto, Lander proceeded southeast to Kano and then returned to the coast through the country of the Yoruba people. He returned to Western Africa in 1830, accompanied by his brother John. They landed at Badagri and followed the lower Niger River from Bussa to the sea. After exploring about 160 kilometres of the Niger River upstream, they returned to explore the Benue River and Niger Delta before travelling back to England. On a trading expedition up the Niger in 1832, Lander was wounded by tribesmen attacking his canoe, and he died soon thereafter. Probably from ‘A Journal of the Niger Expedition...by Macgregor Laird and D. N. R. Oldfield,’ London, 1834, 2 vols. Laird and Oldfield are likely the two men here depicted.

A view of an riverside settlement in Nigeria, published in Captain William Allen's 'Picturesque views on the river Niger, sketched during Lander's last visit in 1832-33'. Despite Mount Pattèh's distinctive table-top, the location has never been unidentified, although the botanist Vogel described the mountain as being 'near the confluence of the Niger and Benue Rivers, Northern Nigeria'. In 1832 Richard Lander led an expedition to found a trading settlement at the junction of the Niger and Benue rivers. However, the expedition encountered difficulties, including deaths, fever, and Lander was attacked by Africans, receiving a musket ball in his thigh. He managed to return to the coast, but died there from the infected wound.
