North & South of Great Britain.
Will.m Hogarth delin [but Paul Sandby]. F.B_ Sculp.
Published June the 11th, 1781 at the Ancient & Modern Print Warehouse No. 28 in the Hay Market by A. Torre and J. Thane.
Etching, proof? 150 x 185mm (6 x 7¼"); in ink verso "It is almost certain that this is an Imposition"; very large margins. Some soiling.
A satire on the perennial north-south divide, comparing an emaciated Scot dressed in rags in front of Edinburgh Castle with a portly Londoner with St Paul's Cathedral behind. A later state, with the same publication date but with added aquatint, has Paul Sandby's name instead of Hogarth's. This is the more likely attribution: certainly this print is not listed in Paulson's bibliography of Hogarth. The BM posits that the engraver might be Francesco Bartolozzi, but it most likely to be the work of Sandby as well. Anthony Torre and John Thane worked together only 1781-82, before handing over their business at the Ancient and Modern Print Warehouse to Paul Colnaghi.
See BM Satires 3799 for a state with Hogarth's name but without the engraver's initials, and the same number for the finished version.

Title page to the set of views in north Wales published in 1776 by Paul Sandby (bap. 1731, d. 1809). Sandby, one of the foremost landscape artists of his generation, had published a similar set of views in south Wales the previous year, having collected material during sketching tours in 1771 and 1773 with Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Charles Greville, and Joseph Banks, the dedicatees of the two sets. Over the coming decades Wales became highly popular amongst tourists searching for romantic and picturesque landscapes, due in no small part to Sandby's popular depictions.

"the Deutsch Prize" Santos. Dumont. N.o 6.
Geo. Hum. Vincent Brooks Day & Son Lt.d lith.
Vanity Fair Nov.r 14th 1901.
Chromolithograph, sheet 380 x 260mm (15 x 10¼").
Caricature of Alberto Santos Dumont (1873 - 1932), Brazillian aeronaut, sportsman and inventor, in a flying machine. The Deutsch de la Meurthe prize, simply known as the Deutsch prize, of 100,000 francs was offered by Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe (born Salomon Henry Deutsch 1846–1919) to the first machine capable of flying a round trip from the Parc Saint Cloud to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and back in less than 30 minutes. On October 19, 1901, Santos-Dumont launched his Number 6 airship at 2:30 pm. After only nine minutes of flight, Santos-Dumont had rounded the Eiffel Tower, but then suffered an engine failure. To restart the engine, he had to climb back over the gondola rail without a safety harness. The attempt was successful, and he crossed the finish line in 29 minutes 30 seconds. However, a short delay arose before his mooring line was secured, and at first the adjudicating committee refused him the prize, despite de la Meurthe, who was present, declaring himself satisfied. This caused a public outcry from the crowds watching the flight, as well as comment in the press. However a face-saving compromise was reached, and Santos-Dumont was awarded the prize. In a charitable gesture, he gave half the prize to his crew and then donated the other half to the poor of Paris.

Sappers were the combat engineers who were typically incharge of any general construction and repair as well a bridge-building and field defenses. The images are taken from "The Campaign in India 1857-1858", from drawings made during the eventful period of the Great Mutiny. The Indian Rebellion of 1857 began in the town of Meerut when a group of sepoys, native soldiers employed by the British East India Company's army, mutinied because of perceived race-based injustices and inequities. The uprising was soon converted into insurrection or civilian rebellion against the Company.

Engraved map. 390 x 480mm (15¼ x 19"). Very fine impression with original binding folds, trimmed witin plate at top, as issued.
The Battle of Saragossa (Zaragoza), during the War of the Spanish Succession, in which the Allies (including British troops under James Stanhope) defeated the Boubon Spanish. Charles and Philip were the rival Hapsburg and Bourbon candidates for the Spanish throne, but when Charles became Holy Roman Emperor in 1711 his interest in the Spanish throne wained. Philip V was eventually confirmed as king, but renounced any possibility of uniting the thrones of Spain and France, the main cause for the war. Nicholas Tindal (1687-1774), at one time Chaplain to Greenwich Hospital, first published a translation of Frenchman Paul de Rapin's 'History of England' in 1727, running to thirteen volumes; in 1732 it was enlarged with his own notes and maps. This map was published in 'A summary of Mr Rapin de Thoyras's History of England, and Mr Tindal's Continuation, from the Invasion of Julius Caesar, to the End of the Reign of King George I. Illustrated With Medals, Plans of Battles, Towns, and Sieges', 1751.
