Edw: Le Davis sculp.
[British, n.d., c.1680.]
Engraving, image 220 x 170mm. 8¾ x 6¾". Trimmed to plate, cut at top, fine impression.
Fanciful portrait of Bertram de Ashburnham (c.1010 – 1066), ‘Constable of Dover Castle and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports’; in armour, with fabric collar and belt. This unfortunate Bertram is alleged to have met with a variety of deaths: to have been killed while fighting at Hastings, to have been executed by William the Conqueror outside the gates of Canterbury 'where he lived much esteemed, and to have been very active in the cause of liberty and his country', and to have met a similar fate at Dover. His sons, Philip and Michael, are said to have died with their father, and Reginald (Philip's son) to have been in possession of Ashburnham in 1166. It is curious, to say the least, that the Conqueror should have left the Ashburnham lands in the hands of the family of so versatile an opponent. Dover Castle was not in fact very gallantly defended and it is said to have surrendered without a blow. Edward Le Davis (fl.1671- after 1691) Davis was originally apprenticed to David Loggan, but he ran away to France, where he produced various prints between 1671 and 1674 and added ‘Le’ to his name. By 1675 he had returned to England, where he was active as a dealer in paintings as well as an engraver, conducting joint sales with the auctioneer, Edward Millington.

Wolfg. Kil[ian].
Basilii Beslaeri Philiatri et Pharmacopoei. M.D C. XIII.
Copper engraving. Sheet size: 495 x 395mm (19½ x 15½). Very scarce. Trimmed inside platemark. Damaged. Laid on backing sheet.
The titlepage to 'Hortus Eystettensis' by Basilius Besler, published in 1613. The Bishop, Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, commissioned Besler to produce the work, which he compiled over sixteen years, although the bishop died before its completion. Besler had the assistance of his brother and a group of skilled German draughtsmen and engravers, including Sebastian Schedel, an accomplished painter, and Wolfgang Kilian, a skilled engraver from Augsburg. Kilian and his team engraved the initial copper plates, but after the bishop’s death, the operations moved to Nürnberg and a new team of engravers, among whom were Johannes Leypold, Georg Gärtner, Levin and Friedrich van Hulsen, Peter Isselburg, Heinrich Ulrich, Dominicus Custos and Servatius Raeven. Camerarius' nephew, Ludwig Jungermann (1572-1653), was a botanist and wrote most of the descriptive text.

Tim Besom. Making a clear way for others, that he may clear a path for himself.
E.Y. esq. del.t. Eng.d by G.Hunt.
London Published by Tho.s McLean, 26 Haymarket 1827.
Coloured aquatint. 390 x 265mm (15¼ x 26¼"). Tear entering plate, one tear in margin.
"Tim Besom" is probably taken from the Glaswegian slang for "tink, annoying person, drinker" and the scene is set for the street sweeper to make sure the street is clear of any obstacles before holding out his hat to the ladies in hope of a gratuity. The "Rum" sign above the door in the background suggests where the funds would be spent.
