Steel engraving sheet 5½ x 9¼ (140 x 235mm). Repaired tears.
A scene of a river in Belize, a Carribean country in central America. Formally know as British Honduras, a British flag on a pole can be seen waving gently in the foreground, surrounded by a handful of soliders carrying weapons, one seems to be reprimanding a boy holding a dead bird, one of them casually leans on one of the two cannons located on the shoreline and the others stand guard. A man sits in his boat on the shore while another picks up a paddle seemingly about to set off. Two rafts are pushed around the water by men with poles, while a longer boat with four oarsmen glides across the water and a sailing ship with no sails appears to be moored on the right. The surrounding town and more boats can be seen in the distance.

Serres Pinx. Canot Sculp.
Drawn on ye spot, Design'd, & Published as the Act directs by R. Short, May 1st 1763. [& Sept 12th].
Three (of seven) engravings, rare as a set. 370 x 520mm (13¾ x 20½) with very large margins. Small repairs and creases.
Three engravings celebrating the capture of the French island of Belle Île (off the Brittany coast) in 1761, during the Seven Years' War. As the Royal Navy began to dominate the seas Britain started to pick off France's colonies, including Canada, before lauching this attack on a part of France itself. Initially repelled, the attack was continued with reinforcements and the island was eventually captured. Unable to counter-attack, the French told the British they could keep it if they wanted, but they found that a British base so close to the French mainland was a real problem so, in the Treaty of Paris that ended the war, Belle Île was swapped for Minorca, which France had captured earlier in the war.

Three (of seven) engravings, rare as a set. 370 x 520mm (13¾ x 20½) with very large margins. Small repairs and creases.
Three engravings celebrating the capture of the French island of Belle Île (off the Brittany coast) in 1761, during the Seven Years' War. As the Royal Navy began to dominate the seas Britain started to pick off France's colonies, including Canada, before lauching this attack on a part of France itself. Initially repelled, the attack was continued with reinforcements and the island was eventually captured. Unable to counter-attack, the French told the British they could keep it if they wanted, but they found that a British base so close to the French mainland was a real problem so, in the Treaty of Paris that ended the war, Belle Île was swapped for Minorca, which France had captured earlier in the war.

A naked figure with no head and a face on its torso, sword in right hand, a head on the floor, apparently just decapitated.

'One fine day it occurred to the Members of the Body that they were doing all the work and the Belly was having all the food. So they held a meeting, and after a long discussion, decided to strike work till the Belly consented to take its proper share of the work. So for a day or two, the Hands refused to take the food, the Mouth refused to receive it, and the Teeth had no work to do. But after a day or two the Members began to find that they themselves were not in a very active condition: the Hands could hardly move, and the Mouth was all parched and dry, while the Legs were unable to support the rest. So thus they found that even the Belly in its dull quiet way was doing necessary work for the Body, and that all must work together or the Body will go to pieces.'

Rare etching. Sheet size: 145 x 200mm (5¾ x 8"). Central vertical crease where folded as published.
A pamphlet etching inscribed 'John Bull 1821' (changed to from John Martin) which gave information, with arrow lines to guide the eye in sequence, to 28 of the various features of the biblical scene. William Collins, in whose glass factory Martin had worked from 1809 - 1811, sold the pamphlet whilst the original painting was exhibited at his premises. Collins changed the signature from 'J. Martin' to 'John Bull', the personification of the 'true' Englishman, representing the artist's patriotism.

John Bull [John Martin] 1821.
Rare etching. Sheet size: 145 x 200mm (5¾ x 8"). Central vertical crease where folded as published.
A pamphlet etching inscribed 'John Bull 1821' (changed to from John Martin) which gave information, with arrow lines to guide the eye in sequence, to 28 of the various features of the biblical scene. William Collins, in whose glass factory Martin had worked from 1809 - 1811, sold the pamphlet whilst the original painting was exhibited at his premises. Collins changed the signature from 'J. Martin' to 'John Bull', the personification of the 'true' Englishman, representing the artist's patriotism.
Ex collection of Christopher Lennox-Boyd. The Prints of John Martin: Clark.

Belshazzar gave a Party and provided for his friends / Women Wine and Music on which so much depends / They drank so many half-pints, They could not see at all / And ended up by Writing Nasty Things upon the Wall.
Chas. H. Eldridge.
[n.d., c.1930.]
Pencil & watercolour, heightened with gilt, on card. Card 275 x 380mm.
A scene satirising Belshazzar's Feast, from the Book of Daniel, with dancing girls and gluttony. However, instead of the word of God, the writing on the wall is graffitti, for example 'Bill Shazzer is an Ass'. 'Oodunit' (whodunit) entered the English language in the 1930s.

Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire. Amateur lithograph by the army officer and politician Frederick William Trench (c.1777-1859). In December 1819 he was returned as an MP for Cambridge in an election controlled by the Duke of Rutland, owner of Belvoir. Trench was also keenly interested in architecture: in 1815 he proposed a vast monument to British naval and military victories over France on the site which became Trafalgar Square, and in 1824 he launched a project for an embankment on the north side of the Thames (in conjunction with which a long print of the project was produced). Very rare. The Royal Collection has the complete set of five, all printed on silk.
