Etching, sheet 130 x 165mm (5 x 6½"). Repaired tear.
Dutch statesman Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (1547-1619) led to his execution at the Binnehof in the Hague. Van Oldenbarnevelt held the influential position of Land's Advocate of Holland for thirty-two years, but after he proposed that the States of Holland raise a force of 4000 men to keep the peace, this was interpreted as a declaration of independence by the States-General, who arrested Oldenbarnevelt and sentenced him to death.

[Oldenzaal under siege.] Olden Zeel

Etching, platemark 220 x 310mm (12¼ x 8½"). Fold through centre; late impression.

In the hands of the Spanish since 1572, it was taken by Maurice of Orange in 1597 and then captured for Spain again by Ambrogio Spinola in 1605. Despite various differences, this print is probably derived from a representation of the 1605 conflict in the 'Geschichtsblätter' (history sheets) published by Franz and Abraham Hogenberg between 1570 and 1610.

Built under the supervision of chief engineer George Stephenson (1781-1848), the Liverpool & Manchester Railway (LMR) was the world's first intercity railway.

It is approximately two miles long, and in some parts nearly 80 feet (25 metres) deep. The sandstone rock was blasted out and used to construct the Roby Embankment and the Sankey Viaduct, also on the LMR.

Richard Oliver (1734?-1784), British politician and statesman. At an early age he was sent to London to work for his uncle, Richard Oliver, a West India merchant. Following this he took up his freedom in the Drapers' Company on 29 June 1770, and was later elected alderman of Billingsgate ward. On March 1771 he became engaged in the famous struggle between the city and the House of Commons and was committed to the Tower by order of the speaker on the 26th of that month. After written pleas to state officials and the City council and application for representation, the end came at the close of the parliamentary session on 8 May when he was released from the Tower. Oliver resigned his gown at the court of aldermen held at Guildhall on 25 November 1778, and shortly afterwards sailed to Antigua in order to look after his West Indian estates. He died on board the Sandwich packet, while returning to England, on 16 April 1784.

[Leipzig, 1725.]
Engraving with very large margins; 305 x 430mm (12 x 17"). Spotting.
The chryselephantine statue of Zeus, sculpted by Phidias for the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was destroyed during the fifth century AD. The descriptive text, in German & French, tells that Erlach based this image on the description of Pausanias, the Greek traveller of the 2nd century AD, who descriptions of classical sites have frequently been authenticated by modern archaeologists. This plate was published in Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach's 'Entwürst Einer Historischen Architectur', a study of the architecture of the ancient world. Fischer von Erlach (1656-1723) was a successful Austrian architect: his baroque works include the Schönbrunn Palace, Karlskirche, and the Austrian National Library in Vienna. He also studied ancient architecture, publishing 'A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture' in 1721, taking on classical influences in his building.
