William Kenrick, AEt. 36.
T. Worlidge f.ct.
[n.d., c.1756.]
Etching, 180 x 140mm (7 x 5½"). Trimmed inside platemark; glued to 18th century backing sheet along top edge.
Portrait of William Kenrick (1729/30-1779), writer and translator, portrayed at the age of 36. Volumes of Locke, Shakespeare and Milton by his side, and symbols of the arts and sciences, indicate his profession and interests. This portrait was made at a time when Kenrick was spending much of his time on the continent, but before his best-known achievements, which include translations of Rousseau and Voltaire and theatrical works. He also courted controversy, accusing Garrick of a homosexual relationship with Isaac Bickerstaff in his 1772 pamphlet 'Love in the Suds' (which went through five editions before Kenrick suppressed the work and apologized, fearing imprisonment for libel). Less successfully, he sought to goad Dr Johnson through critical reviews and accusations (against which Johnson maintained a stoic silence). By Thomas Worlidge (1700-66), 'the English Rembrandt'.

Drawn from the Life by Henry Meyer.

Etching with hand-colouring, sheet 185 x 115mm (7¼ x 4½"). Slight marking.

Vanity Fair June 7, 1894.
Chromolithograph, image 315 x 185mm. 12½ x 7¼". Some wrinkling to paper.
(Joseph) Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936), writer and poet. Born in Bombay, he was educated in England but returned to India and worked for Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore. His many publications include Plain Tales from the Hills, 1887, The Jungle Book, 1894, and Kim, 1901. He is unequalled as an observer of the Raj and as a commentator on the duties and obligations of empire. Later in life he settled in Sussex, from which he drew the inspiration for Puck of Pook's Hill, 1906, and Rewards and Fairies, 1910, as well as some of his finest late stories. Long out of favour because of the imperial themes in his work, he is now recognized as one of the major talents of his time. Stamped 'Specimen' upper right.

Rare engraving. 150 x 100mm (6 x 4"). Trimmed within plate.
Quirinus Kuhlmann (1651-89), German Baroque poet and mystic. His poetry was initially successful, but his political and religious views were too extreme. He believed that Protestant Europe should join with the Ottomans to destroy Catholic Europe, the House of Habsburg, and the Pope, thus establishing the ''Kingdom of Jesus''. In 1689 he travelled to Moscow to convince Tsar Ivan V to join this alliance; while living in the city he was denounced by the chief pastor of Moscow Lutherans as theologically and politically dangerous, arrested, tortured, and burned at the stake for heresy.

G. Kneller pinxit. R. White sculpsit.
Sold by Walter Davis in Amen Corner.
Rare engraving. Sheet 380 x 270mm (15 x 10½"). Trimmed within plate. Crease.
Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704), a Royalist pamphleteer, best known for 'An Account of the Growth of Knavery', which ruthlessly attacked the parliamentary opposition, placing them as "dissenting fanatics". During the Civil War he was sentenced to death as a spy, but after four years' imprisonment in Newgate he escaped to Holland. Pardoned by Cromwell in 1653 he returned to England, and, after a few years of living quietly, he started printed pamphlets calling for the return of Charles II. After the Restoration he turned from poacher to gamekeeper: as 'Surveyor of the Imprimery' he was tasked with the prevention of the publication of dissenting writings, with the right to search the premises of printers and booksellers on the mere suspicion. In the 1660s he returned to journalism; he wrote questioning the truthfulness of Titus Oates during the Popish Plot of 1678; and in 1681 he started the 'Observator', a paper written in the form of a dialogue between a Whig and a Tory (biased to Toryism), which lasted six years. Knighted by James II in 1685, he served as MP for Winchester 1685-89); however he lost all his offices with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and, having been arrested for suspected plots, turned to more academic writing, including acclaimed translations of Æsop's Fables and the works of Flavius Josephus.

John Locke.
For the London Magazine.
Publish'd by R. Baldwin at the Rose in Pater Noster Row 1753.
Engraving, 190 x 110mm.
John Locke (1632 - 1704) was an influential English philosopher and social contract theorist. He developed an alternative to the Hobbesian state of nature and argued a government could only be legitimate if it received the consent of the governed and protected the natural rights of life, liberty, and estate. If such consent was not given, argued Locke, citizens had a right of rebellion. Locke is one of the few major philosophers who became a minister of the government. Locke's ideas had an enormous influence on the development of political philosophy, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers and contributors to liberal theory. His writings influenced the American revolutionaries as reflected in the American Declaration of Independence.

Three quarter length portrait of Thomas Robert Malthus (1766 – 1834) seated on a chair with a book in his lap, dressed in an academic gown over his dark tailcoat. Malthus was an English cleric, scholar and influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography. In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well-being of the population, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level. In other words, humans had a tendency to utilize abundance for population growth rather than for maintaining a high standard of living, a view that has become known as the "Malthusian trap."
