[Cavalry Charge.]
[Conrad Gessner, 1801.]
Pen lithograph, sheet 230 x 315mm (9 x 12½"). Good impression; pinhole top centre.
Pen lithograph, probably taken from 'Specimens of Polyautography', the first set of artist's lithographs ever published (by Philipp André in 1803). The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing artists to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many painters who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) produced lithographs. Made by Conrad Gessner (1764-1826), Swiss artist working in England 1796-1804. Ex: collection of the late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd.

C Heath del.
Pen lithograph, rare & trimmed; sheet 320 x 235mm (12½ x 9¼"). Vertical crease; nicks to edges.
Early lithograph by Charles Heath (1785-1830), landscape and figure engraver. A precocious talent and part of a family of printmakers, Heath was early to experiment with new techniques. He exhibited lithographs such as this at Somerset House from 1802 to 1806, and this print was included in the 1806 edition of the first portfolio of artists' lithographs, 'Specimens of Polyauthography' (first edition published by Philipp André in 1803).

[Oriental man reading a large book]
[by Henry Singleton, 1803]
Pen lithograph, sheet 225 x 315mm (8¾ x 12½"). Very damaged; losses.
Early lithograph by Henry Singleton (1766-1839), painter. A professional portrait painter from the age of sixteen, Singleton was commissioned by Benjamin West to paint a large group portrait of the Royal Academicians in 1796, but Singleton never became an academician himself. He was known for his history paintings initially, but later moved into decorative and pastoral subject matter, often designed with a view to engraving. This print, a rare excursion into printmaking for Singleton, was included in the 1806 edition of the first portfolio of artists' lithographs, 'Specimens of Polyauthography'. The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing artists to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints.

[The Angel] [He is not here: for he is risen. &c.]

[first published 1803]
Pen lithograph, sheet 315 x 225mm (12½ x 9"). Glued to backing sheet; trimmed, losing text below image. Unidentified collector's stamp verso.
Text from Matthew 28:6, in which the angel of the resurrection directs women looking for the crucified Jesus to 'see the place where He was lying'. A landmark in the history of lithography, this original print by Benjamin West has been described as 'the first lithograph of artistic merit ever done in any country' (Felix Man). It was published as one of the twelve pen lithographs from 'Specimens of Polyautography', the first set of artist's lithographs ever published (by Philipp André in 1803). The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing artists to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many painters who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) produced lithographs. West (1738-1820) was an Anglo-American painter of historical scenes around and after the time of the American War of Independence. He was the second president of the Royal Academy in London, serving from 1792 to 1805 and again from 1806 until his death. Ex: collection of the late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd; Man, '150 Years of Artists' Lithographs', cat. 1.

Six Pomeranian dogs, each animal named above and below the image, posed on stone steps in a garden.

Known by some as a painter of big game and wildlife, he is for dog lovers one of the pre-eminent painters of pure bred dogs that England has produced.

[n.d., c.1792.]
Stipple, rare. Sheet size: 127 x 100mm (5 x 4"). Trimmed inside platemark. Laid on backing sheet.
A half length portrait of Stanislaus August Poniatowski (1732 - 1798), inclined slightly to left, with powdered hair, fur coat with a star of the White Eagle, and a white ruffle. In an oval. Poniatowski was the last King and Grand Duke of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (1764–95) and was recognised as a great patron of the arts and sciences and a supporter of progressive reforms. Arriving at the Russian imperial court in Saint Petersburg in 1755, he became romantically involved with the twenty-six-year-old Catherine Alexeievna (the future Empress Catherine the Great). With her support, in 1764 he was elected king of Poland. Against expectations, he attempted to reform and strengthen the ailing Commonwealth. His efforts were met with external opposition from Prussia, Russia and Austria, all interested in keeping the Commonwealth weak. The reforms were overthrown following a succession of wars which led to the Partitions of Poland, marking the end of the Commonwealth. Stripped of all meaningful power, Poniatowski abdicated in November 1795 and spent the last years of his life in semi-captivity in Saint Petersburg.

A very rare etching. 260 x 382mm. 10¼ x 15".
Welsh mountain ponies are known for their good nature; their movement is bold and free, and often characteristically fast, especially at the trot. The Welsh Pony is reputed to be trustworthy and to have a good disposition, but is also spirited and enduring. They are known for their stamina and soundness; they generally have even temperaments and friendly personalities. They are usually easily trained, in part due to their high level of intelligence.
