Mrs. Aphara Behn. Aphara Behn, a celebrated wit and Dramatic writer of the reign of Charles II, was the daughter of Mr. Johnson, a Gentleman of a good family at Canterbury. Her acquaintance with the celebrated American Prince Oroonoko, whose adventures she was related, gave Southerne the first hint for his much admired play. Besides the above, she wrote several Histories and Novels, seventeen different Dramas, and published three Volumes of miscellaneous poetry, together with various translations. Her writings as well as her manner, were tinctured with the licentiousness of the reign in which she lived. She died April 16.th 1689, and was buried in the Cloisters of Westminster Abbey.
London. Published by Rob.t Wilkinson, 58, Cornhill. [n.d. c.1790.]
A very rare mezzotint with etching. Plate 178 x 121mm (7 x 4¾"). Trimmed to the plate; crease.
Aphra [Aphara] Behn (1640-1689) was a prolific dramatist of the English Restoration and was one of the first English professional female writers. Details of her life are scant, mainly because she was the main source: although there is evidence of her being the daughter of a barber, she suggested that she was daughter of the lieutenant general of Surinam, that country being the setting for one of her most famous works, 'Oroonoko'. Around 1664 she may have married Johan Behn, but he disappeared from her life almost immediately. Having been introduced to court about that time, she was employed as a spy by Charles II in Antwerp during the Second Anglo-Dutch War, seeking out English republican exiles. As a playwright she was mocked for her bawdy themes, including same-sex love between women. However she still earned a grave in Westminster Abbey (described as 'most scandalously but rather appropriately' by Virginia Wolff), although not in Poets' Corner.

An army officer from 1642, Belasyse was involved for much of the English Civil War although he was on the continent from 1648-50 and was imprisoned several times. His subsequent career included a spell as governor of Tangier and general of the royal forces in Africa (1665-6). A Catholic, he was impeached during the Titus Oates 'Popish Plot' of 1678-81, accused of being the Commander-in-Chief of the "Popish army". It is said that Charles II burst out laughing at the idea that this infirm old man, who could hardly stand on his feet due to gout, would be able even to hold a pistol.

Les Belges Sinceres et trop credules, portent leur Or et leur Argent en offrande au perfide VanderNoot...
[Anon., French?., c.1790.]
Etching on watermarked laid paper, sheet 200 x 170mm. 8 x 6¾". Trimmed within plate, possibly a fragment of a larger print?
Political satire; tribute in the form of bags and bowls of coins is brought before Hendrik Karel Nicolaas van der Noot (1731 - 1827) at centre, standing on a lettered pedestal. Van der Noot was one of the main players of the Brabant Revolution (1789-1790) against the Austrian rule of Emperor Joseph II. This revolution led to the short-lived existence of the United States of Belgium (January 11, 1790 - December 1790). This print attacks him as a traitor to his country (as described on plinth), and is probably printed by a supporter of Van der Noot's co-revolutionary and more radical rival Jan Frans Vonck (1743 – 1792), who advocated a state constructed on the French Revolutionary model.
