Titus Oates. Anagramma Testis Ovat.
This is the true Original taken from the Life. done for Hen: Brome and Ric: Chiswell [therefore] All others are Counterfeit. [n.d. c.1679.]
Engraving, printed on both sides. 235 x 157mm. 9¼ x 6¼". Trimmed, crease, damaged.
Curiousity. Portrait of Titus Oates, half length in an oval frame on a pedestal, wearing wig, bands, and robe. From a broadside entitled 'A poem upon Mt Tytus Oates, the first discoverer of the late Popish Plot', published by Henry Brome and Richard Chiswell (1679). Titus Oates (1649-1705) was an English perjurer who fabricated the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill King Charles II. He began his career as an Anglican priest, but converted to Catholicism in 1677. This secured his admission to Jesuit college at St Omer, and this gave him enough information to give his story about a Catholic plot to murder Charles some plausibility. Oates swore his testimony to Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey in September 1678, and it was Godfrey's murder a few weeks later (a death that has never been explained) that overnight turned the plot in the public mind from allegation to certainty. Oates managed to retain a central role in the unfolding affair by continually inventing new accusations. In 1684, in the flood of the Tory reaction, he was prosecuted for perjury, and in 1685 sentenced to the pillory and public flogging. The Glorious Revolution saved him; he was pardoned, given a pension and married a wealthy widow.

Sketch of the Obelisk, Proposed by Mr. Railton, to the Memory of, the Late Admiral Sir Harry Neale, Bart. 1840.
Day & Haghe Lithrs. to the Queen. [c.1840.]
Lithograph on india paper laid to publisher's sheet with printed title; with letterpress explanation sheet, scarce. Folio, 385 x 235mm, 15¼ x 9¼". Slightly soiled; some nicks to extremities; generally good.
Architect William Railton's (d. 1877) design for a memorial obelisk to Sir Harry Burrard Neale, 2nd Bt (1765 - 1840), naval officer and politician. The text sheet explains that the model is the Great Obelisk at Thebes, Egypt, which he visited in 1824 - 25, and gives general dimensions. Railton's best known work is the Nelson memorial in Trafalgar Square, London (referred to in the text), his design for which was accepted after two competitions in 1839, and carried out in spite of strong opposition; the column itself was completed in 1843. A handsome obelisk was indeed erected to Neale's memory on Mount Pleasant, opposite the town of Lymington, Hampshire, of which he was lord of the manor, and which he had represented in parliament for forty years.

Corresponding Actuary & Sub-Treasurer Andw. Johnstone, No. 52, Burr Street, Tower Hill, London.
Diploma of membership, signed and dated and completed in ink, etching and engraving, 376 x 324mm. Light spotting, mostly outside image.
The London Vaccine Institution was founded in 1806 by members of the Royal Jennerian Society, which was established in 1803 following Edward Jenner’s (1749-1823) successful experiments in the 1790s, to give vaccinations on a wide scale. Vaccination is the procedure of introducing dead or inactivated disease-causing microorganisms into the body in order to promote the production of antibodies in the body, providing immunity against the disease. The first successful vaccination was carried out by Jenner in 1798, against smallpox. A highly decorative diploma by James George Oben (1779 - 1819), a strong impression on paper watermarked 'J. Whatman 1819'.

Hand coloured engraving. Sheet size: 305 x 465mm (12 x 18¼"). Trimmed inside plate at top and bottom.
During the War of Independence, the battle of Ocaña, currently in the province of Toledo, Spain, was fought on 19 November 1809 and resulted in a French victory under the command of Marshal Soult against the Spanish General Juan Carlos de Aréizaga. It was the biggest defeat of the Spanish army, who lost nearly 19,000 men despite being superior in number to their French counterparts, and reinforced the Spanish throne of Joseph Bonaparte (1768 - 1844), the elder brother of Napoleon Bonaparte who had declared him King of Spain a year prior to the battle. In this scene, French troops attack the Spanish, who can be seen fleeing great numbers in the distance to the left.

Rare steel engraving. 190 x 270mm (7½ x 10¾"). Trimmed close to plate.
Children clamber over a maritime John Bull. Elihu Burritt (1810-79), an American diplomat, suggested Britain should extend the new Penny Post and slash the cost of sending letters abroad from a shilling to threepence to promote trade and brotherhood. This satire ridicules the idea.

Nikkanochee, Prince of Econchatti, A young Seminole Indian,
[Day & Haghe, Lithrs,, to the Queen.]
[Published by Hatchard & Son, Piccadilly.] [London, 1841]
Rare lithograph. Sheet 190 x 120mm (7½ x 4¾"). Trimmed, losing inscriptions
A portrait of a young Amerinds boy with bow and shield, after a portrait by George Catlin. According to the text he was an orphan, presumably because of the Second Seminole War (1835-42). The frontispiece portrait of 'A Narrative of the Early Days and Remembrances of Oceola Nikkanochee, Prince of Econchatti, a young Seminole Indian; son of Econchatti-Mico, king of the Red Hills, in Florida; with a brief history of his nation, and his renowned uncle, Oceola, and his parents: and amusing tales, illustrative of Indian life in Florida... Written by his Guardian [Andrew Welch]'. Welch's text is very sympathetic to the plight of the Seminole, portraying them as victims of European greed.

the Turkish Lady Presented by General Keith to his Brother after ye taking of Oczakow in 1737.
A Bell Sculpt.
Rare etching, sheet 205 x 125mm (8 x 5"). Cut to platemark top & left.
The army officer James Francis Edward Keith (1696-1758) fought in the siege of Ochakov (then part of the Ottoman Empire but now in Ukraine) in 1737, during which he was wounded.

An Odd Sight Sometime Hence. Price 6
[Anon., November 1756]
Etching, 18th century watermark. 195 x 300mm (7¾ x 11¾). Trimmed with very small margins.
A crowd of spectators regard a gibbet marked 'The Tripple Alliance' from which are suspended three corpses. The British Museum catalogue of satires suggests that 'A' represents Lord Anson, 'B' Admiral Byng, and 'C' the Duke of Newcastle. At the foot of the gibbet is a fox whose speech bubble reads 'I have got my ends', representing Henry Fox, who is said to have caused the downfall of the three persons gibbeted. The British Museum's impression of the print has manuscript annotations identifying 'A' as Henry Fox, but their catalogue of satires considers this as incorrect. 'Generally, the "Triple Alliance" must refer to the defeat of Newcastle's attempts to form a composite Ministry.'
