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).

Richard Oastler, 12 Coffee Gallery, Fleet Prison Dec. 9 1840
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.

[?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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.'

The sailor with hands on hips says, "Avast my Hearties, - before I've proceeded any further on the voyage let me know what course you are steering - if you mean to frighten a British sailor with your goggle eyes, and queer faces you are d------dly mistaken - besides it appears to me that you have got masks on which is like fighting under false colours, and that wont do for an English Jack Tar!" Odd Fellows (or Oddfellows; also Odd Fellowship or Oddfellowship) is an international fraternity consisting of lodges first documented in 1730 in London.
