Hand-coloured engraved map. 220 x 230mm (8¾ x 9"). With original binding folds.
A map of North America, published in an edition of William Robertson's 'History of America'.

The Coalition. Believe me friend quoth North to Fox, While we together scratch and Box, And in the House, incessant splutter, Ourselves bedaubing with state gutter...
[n.d. c.1783]
Scarce engraving, plate 230 x 190mm (9 x 7½"), with large margins. Creased.
Standing together with a ribbon around their shoulders that reads "Tie of Interest," are Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford (1732-1792) and Charles James Fox (1749-1806). With his left arm resting on Fox's left shoulder, North addresses him, saying, "Though you are a Fox by name & nature I hope to me you will prove no traitor." "While you can give me Place & Pension Your neck need never fear Extension," Fox responds. A piece of paper bearing the name "Vicar of Bray" is resting on Fox's shoulder beneath North's hand. Fox is leaning against a table on his right, and his left hand is resting on it. He is holding a piece of paper that says, "Debts of honor to my Lord Cog—150.1700." A paper with the words "Plan for disarming the I------h. V------rs" [Irish Volunteers] and some cards and dice are on the table. Two oval bust portraits of North and Fox are located on the background wall. The left portrait shows North in clerical bands and gown, with the inscription "Vicar of Bray," while the right portrait shows Fox wearing a rope around his neck with the inscription "Sergius Cataline." These depictions suggest that North is the dishonest timeserver, and Fox is the treacherous conspirator. There are three prints above the portraits. An execution scene is depicted on the left; two figures are hanging from a gibbet after the cart has just rolled away. A ship in full sail is being blown by a blast with the word "Boreas" in the centre. The "Stream of Corruption" is the body of water it travels on. "State Vessel" is inscribed on the frame. A print depicting a fox stealing a goose can be found on the right. There's a big sack on the ground (left) with the word "Budget" on it.

Frederic (North) Earl of Guildford. Nat 7 Feb 1766.
Ingres Rome 1815. C. Hullmandel's Lithography.
[n.d., c.1820.]
Lithograph. Sheet 320 x 230mm (12¾x 9"). Surface dirt on edges of paper. Right margin creased.
A seated portrait of Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guildford, sketched in Rome by John Dominique Ingres. The portrait was one of four drawn directly onto one stone by the painter, but designed to be cut. The other sitters were North's sister, Lady Glenbervie, her husband, Sylvester Douglas, and their son, Frederick Sylvester Douglas. The four portraits are lauded as masterpieces of the classical art of drawing. So great is their mastery that experts have disputed whether Ingres, having no previous documented experience of lithography, could have achieved such a feat. However, Felix Man argues convincingly that in Rome Ingres would have had the necessary facilities likely found at the printing and publishing establishment of Giovanni Dall'Armi (XXI-XXII, Man 1953). Though the portraits were drawn by Ingres in Rome, the family took the stone back to England to be printed by Charles Hullmandel in 1820, when he added the sitters' titles and biographical dates.

The interior of an orangery conservatory built for Alexander Baring by Jones & Clark (today Henry Hope & Sons Ltd), commissioned 1824. Although the cast-iron interior was prefabricated (a revolutionary concept at the time), the exterior has a four-columned Ionic portico. The columns shown here were hollow, allowing the collection of rainwater. In 1890 Francis Baring (the 5th Lord Ashburton) converted the orangery into a picture gallery which doubled as a ballroom.

Northumberland Races 1826. County Plate.
[Drawn and etched by Joseph Crawhall?]
[n.d., c.1824.]
Etching. 210 x 400mm (8¼ x 15¾"), paper watermarked 'W 1826', very large margins.
Political satire, with the Northumberland candidates dressed as jockeys arriving at the finish line. The BM has another from the same series (Satires 15133. attributed in pencil mss. to Joseph Crawhall), which shows Thomas Wentworth Beaumont winning easily, although Beaumont actually lost his Northumberland seat in 1826 to Henry Thomas Liddell. Perhaps this is an undated version, showing the correct result: it certainly is taking the same viewpoint, with Ravensworth Castle in the background and some members of the audience are in both..
