Two figures and laden camels with coconut palms beyond, by Edward Julius Detmold (1883-1957), twin brother to Charles Maurice Detmold (1883-1908). The pair were among the artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. They worked together making sketches at the Zoological Gardens and exhibited together from the age of fourteen. He became one of the best Edwardian animal illustrators, known for his subtle placement of animals within their natural environment. Edward expressed artistic versatility and published a number of books of fine fantasy drawings in the 1920s; they portrayed a vivid imagination and he utilised warm colouring, which suited the period. The Jungle Book (1908) was to be the last substantial commission that the brothers worked on - due to the death of Charles in that same year. The extraordinary success of their illustrations to accompany Kipling's classic tale, however, firmly established the reputation for Edward and the following year, a suite of illustrations prepared to Aesop's tales were published in The Fables of Aesop (1909).

Madeley lith. 5 Wellington St. Strand
Lithograph, rare, sheet 230 x 150mm (9 x 6"). Trimmed. Bit messy.
Richard Oastler (1789 - 1861), factory reformer. Oastler was famously 'awakened' in 1830 to the cruelties routinely practiced in English textile mills, and throughout the 1830s was an infuential advocate of factory reform, his oratorical skills earned him the sobriquet 'The factory king'. His paternalistic view of society meant that Oastler, the quintessential Tory radical, abhorred the idea of strikes, trade unions and universal suffrage. Eventually, in 1838, Thomas Thornhill, the squire of Fixby who employed Oastler as a steward on his estate, turned against Oastler, dismissing him and initiating legal proceedings against him. Unable to repay debts to Thornhill which he had accumulated, Oastler was committed to the Fleet prison for three and a half years (the date on this print is the date his sentence began). As this portrait suggests, Oastler kept busy in prison editing a weekly newspaper, and continued to edit a magazine after his release, but these had little influence. It was not as a writer but as a presence and speaker that Oastler was most influential.

Richard Oastler (1789 - 1861), reformer. 'The factory king', Oastler was a Tory radical who turned factory reform into a compelling national issue. His paternalistic view of society meant that he abhorred the idea of universal suffrage. However, he was a hero without parallel within northern radicalism and his inclusion symbolically incorporated him into the Chartist movement.

Titus Oates D.D. the first discoverer of the Plott.
[?David Loggan]
[n.d. c.1680.]
Engraving, sheet 225 x 140mm (8¾ x 5½"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet at edges.
Titus Oates (1649-1705), perjurer who fabricated the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill King Charles II and incite an insurrection. 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 plausibility to his story about a Catholic plot. 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.

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.

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'.
