Opium Smokers and Gamblers. In one of their nightly haunts.
Drawn on the Spot by Sir Harry Darell, Bar.t. On Stone by J.H. Lynch.
London Pub.d May 18 1842 by Mess.rs Colnaghi & Puckle, Printsellers to Her Majesty, to the Queen Dowager, to H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent, &c, 23, Cockspur S.t.
Scarce tinted lithograph. Sheet 355 x 430mm (14 x 17"), large margins on three sides. Bit dusty
The interior of a Chinese opium den. Sir Harry Darell (1814-53), Baronet of Richmond Hill, entered the army as an ensign in the 18th Foot in 1832, becoming lieutenant in 1835. During the First Opium War he was aide-de-camp of Brigadier-General Burrell of the 18th Irish Regiment: he was present at a conference between J.J.Gordon Bremer and Admiral Chang on board HMS Wellesley (4th July 1840, subject of a lithograph by Darell also published 1842, which includes a self-portrait), just prior to the Taking of Chusan, at which he fought. He was promoted to Captain in 1841. He then served in South Africa with the 7th Dragoon Guards, being promoted to Major in 1847, then Lieut-Colonel by brevet the following year. He died in Sardinia. Although he published 'China, India, Cape of Good Hope and Vicinity. A Series of Thirteen Treble-Tinted Views from Sketches by Lieut.-Col. Sir Harry Darell, Bar.t', this plate predates the book by a decade. This plate seems to be a pair to his view of the Chusan Conference.

[Nine sketches of the campaign in China, 1857-8.]
HH Crealock del [four plates signed.]
[British, c.1857 (one plate dated).]
Nine scarce woodcut illustrations, eight of Chinese civilians, one showing an Indian soldier. Printed on a variety of wove and laid papers, four with printed captions. Various sizes, most approx. 25 x 20cm (10 x 8"). Some creasing and light soiling, nicks and small tears to extremities in places.
Lively semi-caricatured depictions - they might now be considered rather crude racial stereotypes - of Asian males and females, featuring a dog and a pig in two of the plates. Two of the sketches show barbers with cut-throat razors; one man is rowing a small boat. They all are evidently sketched from life and may have been printed on campaign from a local (portable?) press, using whatever paper was available. Henry Hope Crealock (1831-1891), soldier, artist and writer, saw active service in a number of fronts including the siege of Sevastopol, the operations at Canton in 1857-8 and the Indian campaigns of 1858 and 1859. He was an accomplished draughtsman, and his sketches of scenes in the Indian mutiny, the China campaign and the Anglo-Zulu War are valuable records of those events. In March 1857 he was appointed deputy adjutant quartermaster-general to the China expeditionary force in the Second Opium War. He was present during the operations at Canton in December 1857 and January 1858. On 20 July 1858 he reached the regimental rank of lieutenant-colonel. Later in his career, as major general, he commanded the 1st Division of the Army in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. After retiring, he republished a series of anti-Russian articles as The Eastern Question in 1885.

The Mountebanks, Or Opposition Show Box.
Nathaniel NoParty Esq.r inv.t G Cruickshank Sculp.t.
Published Febury 1.st 1812 by M Jones 5 Newgate Street.
Etching, with hand-colour, watermark 1809. Sheet 205 x 485mm (8¼ x 19"). Trimmed within plate. Folds as issued. Some light surface dirt. Holes in right where previously bound.
Plate to the 'Scourge', iii, before p. 87. The show-box is a little platform with four legs that resembles a tall table and has draperies partially covering its front. Opposition members are performing on this. 'Avarice—Treason' (left) and 'Impudence Apostacy' (right) are inscribed on the front legs. A lively thoroughbred horse with the Regent's head, with enormous facial heair, was attached to the platform by means of lead strings or bands that were fastened to the legs on the right and bare the words "Restrictions." Father Time, however, has just sheared these, and the horse gallops off to the right. Richard Colley Wellesley, Marquess Wellesley (1760-1842) clad in an oriental ensemble and a jewelled turban, rides the horse. He holds the reins triumphantly above his head and waves the long, knotted lash of his whip in the direction of the stage he is leaving behind. He thrusts his left leg forward to allow George Canning (1770-1827) (right) to lick his toe obediently. Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey (1764-1845) is seated on the edge of the platform, leaning forward to cover the eyes of a startled John Bull, who is standing below with his back to Grey, with a bandage bearing the words "Catholic Emancipation." John is a countryman wearing knee-high gaiters and a short smock. There's a dagger against his breast, maybe dropped from Grey's hand. Standing behind Grey is Samuel Whitbread II (1764-1815), a quack physician dressed in period attire, holding a sign that reads, "Infallible Panacea—Reform." He has medicine bottles in his coat pockets, one of which is marked, "Whitbreads intire." Behind him, a small Henry Petty Fitzmaurice, 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne (1780-1863) dances a Highland fling. Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) dressed like a clown, kneels on the left side of the platform. He holds a tumbler and uses a pipe to blow froth out of it, which rises as smoke with the words "Drury Lane Promises, Old Drury Promises" written on it instead of bubbles. With their 'Token of English Credulity' pouches in hand, two vulgar would-be fashionables come forward to the platform to empty their coins into Sheridan's tumbler. A box labelled "State Box" sits to the right of the platform. Papers with the words "Corruption," "Reform," "Abuses," and "Catholic Bill" are projected from beneath the lid. William Wyndham Grenville, Baron Grenville (1759-1834), is seated atop a pile of coins and money bags bearing the inscription "16000 Sinecure." His massive rear is marked "Modesty," and he waves a large, heavily frayed piece of swirling drapery in the direction of the departing Regent. A dog with Sir Francis Burdett’s (1770-1844) head jumps towards the horse and starts barking, "Bow woo woo woo," upending an overturned box that is lying on the ground between the platform and the horse's heels. The heads of a dog, a fox, and an ass protrude from the box on short posts. The Right Hon Spencer Perceval (1762-1812), wearing his gown bends beneath the platform to light a barrel bearing the words "Stephens's Inflammable." "Here goes! for a Complete blow up.” he declares. George Ponsonby (1755-1817) is reclining on the ground between John Bull and Perceval, clutching an upside-down bottle marked "Compassion for the Irish."

A Dissertation on Oriental Gardening; by Sr: William Chambers, Knt: Comptroller General of his Majesty's Works.
G.B. Cipriani inv. F. Bartolozzi sculp.
[London] Printed by W. Griffin, Printer to the Royal Academy [also Davies, Dodsley, Wilson, Nicoll, Walter and Elmsley]. 1772.
Engraved illustrated titlepage to the first (4to) edition, with large margins, rare. 230 x 170mm, 9 x 6¾".
According to Colvin, the book was “primarily an attack on the bare style of landscape gardening associated with Capability Brown, and the oriental dress was merely a literary camouflage. To Chamber’s embarrassment his supposed championship of the Chinese garden as a model for imitation was taken seriously by the public, obliging him in 1773 to publish a second edition with an “Explanatory Discourse.’ Scottish architect Sir William Chambers (1723-1796) was responsible for many of Kew Gardens' temples, Carlton House, the north and south wings of Buckingham Palace, Richmond Palace, Sir Joshua Reynolds house, internal decorations of St James's Palace, Somerset House and many others. He was appointed tutor in architecture to the future George III. The classical design in an oval after Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727 - 1785) shows a spirit with butterfly wings decorating a statue with flower garlands; on the right, a woman seated on a chair, and on the left, three naked putti, one drawing.
