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.

St. Effisius [Sardinia]
M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] Newlands Press [c.1828]
Lithograph, very rare with large margins; printed area 95 x 140mm (3¾ x 5¾").
Carriage for transporting a sculpture of St. Effisius, a Greek warrior who became a Christian and celebrated in Cagliari, Sardinia on May 1. In 1828 William Henry Smyth published his 'Sketch of the present state of the island of Sardinia' in which he wrote of the procession celebrating St Effisius: 'The gorgeous carriage then slowly advances; it consists principally of fine plate-glass, and containing the image of the Saint surrounded with lighted candles [...] I remarked to an acquaintance, that everybody appeared to be much attached to St. Effisius; "Ah!", said he, "it is with great reason; he saved our city from a dreadful plague,- he gave us rain when every other part of the island suffered from drought,- and he frustrated the designs of the French in 1793.' The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).

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.
