The Satyr and Traveller.
Jordaens, Pinx.t. On Stone by F. Sexton.
London, Drawn, Printed & Published at Friedel's Lithographic Establishment, 252, Tottenham Court Road & at the Polytechnic Insitution, 308 Regent Street London. [n.d., c.1838.]
Lithograph. Printed area 370 x 440mm (14½ x 17¼"), with large margins.
A satyr chastises a peasant for blowing on his food, after he had blown on his hands to keep them warm. The satyr says ''I can no longer consider you as a friend, a fellow who with the same breath blows hot and cold". A lithographed version of 'The Satyr and the Peasant', one of several paintings by Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) based on one of Æsop's fables . The Polytechnic Insitution opened in 1838, receiving a Royal charter in 1839; it is now the University of Westminster. Adam Friedel (1780- death date unknown) was a Danish artist, printmaker and publisher who, after serving in the Napoleonic wars, voluntarily joined the Greek army at the start of the Greek War of Independence, fashioning himself as Danish nobility. He was exposed by a real noble who proved his backstory to be a lie. After spending a year in Egypt he took refuge in London in 1824 where he opened a lithographer's shop. Between 1825 and 1826 Friedel printed and published, both in Paris and London, twenty-four lithographs with portraits of politicians and prominent military figures of the Greek War of Independence. He had drawn the portraits himself, in most cases from nature, while J. Bouvier coloured and lithographed these images. The series was a success and he was awarded for his contributions to the Greek Struggle for Independence with two decorations. For health reasons he travelled around a lot. He travelled to Smyrna and taught at a Greek school. He stayed at the Ottoman Capital during the Crimean War and painted several portraits of various politicians. In 1865 he asked for a pension for his services to Greece however little is known about what happened to him after that and his place and date of death is unknown.

Paysanne de la Maurianne [&] Fille de Montmelian
H. Bunbury Esq.re Delin.t / W. Dickinson fecit [Maurianne] C. Knight fecit [Montmelian]
London, Publish'd July 10th 1784 by W. Dickinson Engraver & Printseller No 158 New Bond Street
Two stipples, each sheet approx 370 x 290mm Both trimmed to platemark.
Pair of costume prints after Henry Bunbury. Both depict women from the provinces of Savoy in south-eastern France: a woman from Montmelian playing the hurdy-gurdy; and the other from the vallée de la Maurienne holding hands with two children. Although facing away from us, she also appears to be carrying a hurdy-gurdy. Bunbury (1750-1811) was an artist and caricaturist who toured France in 1767 and took the grand tour from Paris to Naples in 1769. The drawings for these prints were perhaps inspired by his travels during those years.

Contadina della Savoja.
H.W.Bunbury delin. J.Bretherton. f.
Publish'd as the Act dircts April 30th 1772 by J.Bretherton No.134 New Bond Street.
Etching, 265 x 180mm (10½ x 7"). Trimmed to platemark; light foxing; crease through top of image; glued to backing sheet.
A country woman from Savoy, stood on a mountain-top in regional costume with a child and dog. One of a series of costume prints. Etched after Henry Bunbury, an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).

The Savoy Hospital in the Strand.
G. Vertue delin et sculps.
Sumptu. Societ. Antiq. Lond. 1753. Published according to Act of Parliament, Nov. 29, 1753.
Engraving. 460 x 330mm, 18 x 13".
Three views of the Savoy Hospital for the Poor, created by Henry VII in his will and opened 1512. The hospital was suppressed by Edward VI in 1553 but refounded by Queen Mary in 1556. The hospital was misused throughout the 16th century, with Master Thomas Thurland's conduct subject to complaints, and the hospital used for lodging by vagabonds and criminals. Soldiers and sailors wounded in conflict were admitted in the 17th century, and after rebuilding in the late 17th century the hospital was formally dissolved in 1702. Plate reissued in the Society of Antiquaries's 'Vetusta Monumenta', with descriptions. The Chapel, illustrated at the bottom, is the only building to survive the demolition of the Hospital in the C19th. One of the final prints engraved by the prolific George Vertue (1684-1756).
