Lord Sidmouth's in Richmond Park.
[after Humphry Repton.]
Published by J. Taylor, Feb 1. 1816.
Rare coloured aquatint with overlay. 230 x 320mm (9 x 11½). Trimmed into plate at sides.
The front of White Lodge, now the home of the Royal Ballet Lower School in Richmond Park. The name here refers to Prime Minister, Henry Addington, 1st Viscount Sidmouth, who was given the lodge by George III and enclosed the lodge's first private gardens in 1805. Published in Humphry Repton's 'Fragments on the theory and practice of Landscape Gardening', the plate has a hinged overlay: when the slip is down Richmond Park's deer and cattle are shown coming up to the walls of the Lodge; lifting the slip reveals a promenade with formal gardens free from wildlife. Repton (1752-1818) was the last great English landscape designer of the C18th, who coined the term 'landscape gardener'. Regarded as the successor to Capability Brown, he worked at Blaise Castle, Woburn Abbey, Stoneleigh Abbey & the central gardens in Russell Square, but lost out on the Prince Regent's Brighton Pavilion to John Nash (although he published his designs).

L'Industriel No 13. [French, c.1830.]
Lithograph, sheet 220 x 270mm. 8¾ x 10½". Fold creases;
French satirical print on Ottoman Turkish Trade. 1828 corresponds with the treaty of Adrianople where the Ruling Ottoman granted trade concessions to the Russians which may have annoyed the French hence this satire. It does show a European delegation appearing to be "cap in hand" at the Ottoman Court.

Le Retour de Paris or the Neice presented to her Relatives by her French Governess.
EHL del 1816___Etched by G Cruikshank.
Pub.d by H. Humphrey St. James's St. January 3d. 1817.
Hand-coloured etching. 274 x 380mm (10¾ x 15").
An elderly couple, plainly dressed in a very old-fashioned manner, watch with shocked dismay an over-dressed Frenchwoman who takes by the wrist an equally over-dressed girl, making her curtsey, as she does herself. Their dresses are high-waisted, flounced, and vandyked, with neck-ruffles and short puffed sleeves. Both wear huge bonnets with erect cylindrical crowns, grotesquely trimmed, long gloves, each with a reticule dangling from the arm. A French servant in livery stands chapeau-bras, a band-box slung from his arm, shrugging his shoulders to express horrified surprise. A plainly dressed young girl standing behind her aunt grins in astonishment at the visitors. A dog and cat register hostility towards a cringing lap-dog shaved in the French manner, which is attached to the servant with a string. The room is panelled and carpeted, with one side-table, and is probably a hall or ante-room in a country house.

Le Retour du Matelot.
[after Louis Philippe Boitard.]
[n.d. c.1750.]
Rare engraving, 18th century watermark. 285 x 220mm (11¼ x 8¾"). Trimmed within plate, losing verse at bottom, bottom right corner torn and taped.
A sailor of the Royal Navy returns from sea, awash with prize money. He is richly dressed and gives his love gifts of money and a watch. Behind is a wagon with the Royal Standard and 'N.º 25' on the canvas. A pair to 'Adieux du Matelot'. The scene is probably referring to the return of Admiral Anson from his voyage around the world (1740-4). The siver captured from the Spanish treasure ship filled 30 wagons; each ordinary seaman received about £300 prize money, equivalent to 20 years' wages. Engraved after Louis Philippe Boitard, a French-born printmaker based in London and frequently considered one of the finest satirists of his day.
Provenance Cornwell House.

Hand-coloured etching; J. Whatman, Turkey Mills 1820 watermark. Plate 248 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"). Some damage.
Napoleon leaps in terror from a window, his large bicorne falling off; another French officer steps on to the sill, about to follow. They will inevitably drop into a wash-tub below. The house is a neat log cabin with casement windows. Two flowering plants in pots fall from the sill, pigs scamper off, a cock and hen fly away. A woman scouring a pot looks out in alarm from a lower window. A cat miaows on a pent-house roof. Behind a paling (left) a Cossack with his long spear has dismounted, and hastens towards the house with a satisfied grin; in the background Cossacks gallop across a snowy landscape.

Colour photogravure. 220 x 350mm.
An Ilchester Retriever. Maud Alice Earl (1864-1943) was an eminent British-American canine painter. Her works are much enjoyed by dog enthusiasts and also accurately record many breeds. Earl was the born in London, the daughter of artist George Earl and his first wife Alice Beaumont Rawlins. Maud's profession was the continuation of a family tradition. George Earl, an avid sportsman and noted sporting painter, was his daughter's first teacher and had his daughter study the anatomy of her subjects, drawing dog, horse and human skeletons to improve her skill. She later said that her father's instruction had given her ability that set her apart from other dog painters. After her father's tutelage Maud went on to study at Royal Female School of Art (later incorporated into the Central School of Art). Earl became famous during the Victorian Era, a time when women were not expected to make their living at painting. Nevertheless, she developed a select clientele, including Royals amongst her patrons such as Queen Victoria and Queen Alexandra. Although evidently extremely successful in England, Earl felt that the world she knew had been destroyed by World War I and she emigrated to New York City in 1916. By this time her work had received wide international recognition and her popular images were published in a number of books and in print form. The Sportsman's Year featured twelve of Earl's works as engravings. Maud Earl died in New York in 1943 and is buried at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York.

A young couple sit awkwardly, the wife faced away from her husband, demonstrating that the honeymoon period has definitely ended. The tightening of marriage regulations in England in the 18th century prevented couples under the age of 21 from marrying without their parents consent. This gave rise to the phenomenon of young couples marrying over the border in Scotland, which inspired many satirical prints depicting both the joys and perils of impulsive decisions.
