Charles Beckwith, Lt. Colonel Anglais, Bienfaiteur des Vaudois.
Adeveria. Lith de Lemercier, A Paris.
[n.d. c.1846.]
A very rare lithograph. 545 x 376mm. 21½ x 14¾". Two holes. Some creasing.
John Charles Beckwith (1789-1862) was a British army officer and missionary. He entered the British army in 1803, and in 1815 he served with Sir Thomas Picton's divsion at the battles of Quatre-Bras and Waterloo, where he lost his leg after it was shattered by a cannonball. He was awarded the Waterloo Medal and promoted to lieutenant-colonel. In 1837 he was raised to colonel and in 1846 to major-general. After his injury he returned home to Halifax, where he became a founder and patron of the town's first Sunday school, and in 1826 he was invited to visit the Duke of Wellington at Apsley House in London where he read Dr William Stephen Gilly's "Narrative of an Excursion to the Mountains of Piemont" (London, 1824). This inspired Beckwith to take an interest in the plight of a small group of Protestants known as Waldensians or Vaudois who lived in the Piedmont valleys near Pinerolo. He visited the Waldensians for several years until he decided to move to Turin and devote the rest of his life to assisting them. He worked to improve Waldensian schools, and therefore collected money from friends in England, visited the schools, urged building of new schools by the community, sent teachers to Lausanne and Florence for training, and encouraged the education of women. In all he opened or restored 120 district schools. In 1848, in recognition of his labours with the Waldensians, Beckwith received the cross of St Maurice and St Lazarius from the king.

Cap.t William Bedloe Discoverer of the Popish Plott.
[Anon., c.1681]
Engraving, rich impression. Sheet 225 x 150mm (9 x 6'').
William Bedloe (1650-80), informer and adventurer. In the 1670s Bedloe fell into a life of crime in London, spending time in jail for fraud and at one point fleeing for the continent with his brother. There they stole horses and committed fraud, going by different disguises and identities. In Valladolid they met Titus Oates (and stole from him too), but back in England Bedloe came into the public eye following the death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey. Godfrey died in mysterious circumstances soon after receiving testimony from Oates about a supposed 'Popish Plot' to assassinate Charles II, and Bedloe claimed he knew how Godfrey had died. Bedloe appeared at a number of trials relating to the plot, giving evidence that led to the deaths of a number of innocent people. An opportunist, Bedloe exploited the hysteria and gullibility surrounding the fabricated plot, earning well from his 'evidence', while his early death meant he was spared the retribution which Oates and others received once the smoke cleared.

East Front of Bedwell Park.
Litho. Newlands 1829. M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby]
Lithograph, very rare; printed area approx. 200 x 315mm (8 x 12½"). Foxing around edges.
Bedwell Park in Hertfordshire, which had been owned by the brewer Samuel Whitbread in the 18th century. The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).
