Pub April 10 1830 by T McLean 26 Haymarket.
Hand-coloured etching. 367 x 254mm (14½ x 10"). Cut to platemark.
Satire on Prince Leopold (subsequently Leopold I of Belgium) at the time he was considering an offer to become king of Greece. Leopold puts his head through a glassless window in the door of his 'Grecian Establish[ment]—Co[burg]', to look intently at a fat Turk holding a long pipe. Next to the door are placards: 'This . Shop!!! will shortly open under entire new Management—Vivant [sic] Rex'; a Union Jack poster (partly covered); the Russian eagle, and a fleur-de-lis, the two last inscribed 'Loan'. One of Leopold's conditions for becoming king of Greece was for a loan guaranteed by the three Powers (hence the posters on the wall here). He obtained his conditions with regard to the loan, but nonetheless turned down the throne of Greece, and became the first king of Belgium the following year.

Eisen's son Charles was also a notable artist, hence the need to identify Eisen as 'Pere' [father] on this print.

An Exact Plan and Section of Old Sarum: Also, The East View of that antient city, as it then stood, (before its Reduction) in 553.

Engraving, scarce, printed on 18th century watermarked paper. Binding folds flattened.
A plan and wildly imaginative reconstruction of the Saxon hill fort at Old Sarum, near Salisbury, Wiltshire, with an extensive engraved description.

The city of Oldenzaal in the Netherlands under siege during the Eighty Years' War. 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.
