Etching, sheet 125 x 220mm (5 x 8½"). Trimmed.
One of series of views in Tangier (modern Morocco) by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77). Tangier came into English possession as part of Catherine of Braganza's dowry when she married Charles II in 1662, although attempts to develop it strategically and commercially were unsuccessful. In 1688 Hollar, in his capacity of 'Scenographus Regus', went there as part of a mission sent to deal with problems with hostile natives. Hollar made some sketches of the fortifications, published in 1673. The fortifications shown were demolished in 1684 when the English government abandoned Tangier. Some of Hollar's drawings of Tangier are in the British Museum.

Born in Bohemia, Hollar spent around 32 of his 52 years as a professional artist working in England. An outstanding draughtsman and topographical etcher, Hollar's work was enormously varied and has done much to inform the way that 17th century London is visualised.

Mezzotint, sheet 290 x 215mm (11½ x 8½"). Trimmed within plate.
Portrait of the English writer and radical publicist Henry Redhead Yorke (1772–1813), depicted almost half-length, turned slightly to the right within a rectangular frame. He faces the viewer directly and wears a coat with a high collar and epaulettes, a frilled shirt, and a wig. Yorke was raised in Barbuda and later England, the son of a freed Barbadian woman (Sarah Bullock (c.1745–1801)) and a father (Samuel Redhead (1704-1785)) whose wealth derived from Caribbean slaveholding. Educated at Cambridge and trained at the Inner Temple, he became involved in radical politics in the early 1790s, witnessing the French Revolution firsthand before breaking with revolutionary extremists and returning to Britain. His outspoken activism led to arrest and imprisonment for sedition in 1795, after which his views moderated and he later supported the Pitt government’s war policy.

Yorke was was raised in Barbuda and later England, the son of a freed Barbadian woman (Sarah Bullock (c.1745–1801)) and a father (Samuel Redhead (1704-1785)) whose wealth derived from Caribbean slaveholding. Educated at Cambridge and trained at the Inner Temple, he became involved in radical politics in the early 1790s, witnessing the French Revolution firsthand before breaking with revolutionary extremists and returning to Britain. His outspoken activism led to arrest and imprisonment for sedition in 1795, after which his views moderated and he later supported the Pitt government’s war policy.
