The Islands of Scilly.
[after Captain Greenvile Collins.]
[London: Mount & Page, c.1770.]
Engraved sea chart with hand colour. 455 x 570mm (18 x 22½"), with scarce extra letterpress pasted underneath. Some staining and toning.

Tovey (1687-1759) was responsible for maintaining the defences of the Scillys for many years.

A large mezzotint, proof before publisher's inscription?, rare. 535 x 660mm (21 x 26"), large margins on 3 sides. Creasing and several small tears in inscription area.
A scene from the Second Punic War (218-201 BC). In 209 BC a Roman expeditionary army under Publius Cornelius Scipio captured Carthago Nova, Carthage's capital city in Iberia. Among the captives was the beautiful fiancée of the prince Allucius. Scipio summoned her family, who arrived with a ransom of treasure. Scipio refused this and returned her to them, asking only that they be friends to Rome. When they offered the ransom as a present, he accepted it, only to return it immediately as a wedding gift from himself. Allucius then brought over his tribe to support the Roman armies in gratitude. Gian Antonio Pellegrini's original painting of c.1719 is now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

Joshua Kirby Delin.t. Jn.o Fessey Sculp.
Publish'd by H. Martin according to act of Parliament May 1. 1740.
Rare engraving. Sheet 355 x 475mm (14 x 18¾"). Trimmed within plate, tear through publication line, laid on card.
The exterior of Scole Inn, with its massive sign spanning the road outside. Once called the White Hart, it was built in 1655 to serve this coaching traffic. Both Charles II and Admiral Nelson slept there, and highwayman John Belcher is said to have ridden his horse up the stairs at the inn to evade the law. The hunting-themed sign was also constructed in 1655, costing £1057 to make and erect, with over twenty-five carved figures, including Diana and Cerberus, Neptune and a deer-headed man. It was removed in the early 19th century, as it cost too much to maintain.

Rare lithograph. Printed area 170 x 170mm (6¾ x 6¾"), wide margins.
A portrait in profile of English Arctic explorer, scientist and clergyman, William Scoresby (1789-1857).

A. Mosses del. E. Smith sculp.
[Published by Henry Fisher, Caxton Liverpool, 1821.]
Engraving. Sheet size: 163 x 100mm (6½ x 4"). Trimmed inside platemark.
A half length portrait of English Arctic explorer, scientist and clergyman, William Scoresby (1789 - 1857). His father, William Scoresby Senior (1760-1829), made a fortune in the Arctic whale fishery and was also the inventor of the barrel crow's nest. In his voyage of 1807, Scoresby Jnr. began the study of the meteorology and natural history of the polar regions and in 1811, his father resigned to him the command of the 'Resolution'. Scoresby gained election as a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and of his sixty papers published in the Royal Society list, many were on the study of magnetism, which he used to improve the accuracy of the ship's compass. However his observations extended into other departments, including researches on optics and, with James Joule, comparing electromagnetic, thermal, and organic power sources. William junior finished whaling in 1823, aged 33, to train for the ministry.

Scotch Amusements.
[Oxford Magazine] [n.d. c.1768]
Engraving, plate 110 x 180mm (4½ x 7"), with large margins. Time stained.
Satire on the Scots and their purported pleasures, focusing on John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-1792), his supposed relationship with Augusta, Princess of Wales (1719-1772), and his suggested influence on behalf of his compatriots. At the top, a Scotsman playing "Through the Wood Laddy through the Wood Laddy" on his bagpipes is heard as Bute and the Princess share an embrace on a bench in a park in Kew Gardens, which can be recognized by the pagoda in the distance. His foot is resting on the neck of a prone Britannia. A large man sitting in an armchair in the foreground, wearing a tartan waistcoat and a Scots bonnet, is reading a large book that is open to "History of ye Wars of 1715 & 1745" (i.e., the Jacobite risings). He quotes Thucydides as saying, "History is Philosophy teaching by Example." Standing next to him on a pedestal with the words "Pride" and "Ingratitude" written on it, a Scotsman rubs his back and scratches his hand against a post topped with a satyr's head that has the words "This is one of the many Posts erected for the benefit of the Thanes friends" hanging from it. Standing on the pedestal's step, a second Scot—possibly meant to be William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield (1705-1793)-says, "awa to the deel with this feulish bauble of Liberty I'll stick my Dirk in his Wem," while stabbing a picture of the liberty staff and cap. Beside him, a woman dressed in tartan blows on the fire beneath a large cauldron bearing the letters "Scots Haggis Kettle," which is filled with simmering sheep heads. A Scot is seen spooning broth from a bowl behind the cauldron and remarks, "These are brae Sheepsheads & make Muckle gued broth." "And they were all English Mens heads I woud no grudge a louse," remarks a second Scot who is seated next to the cauldron and scratches his head. An allusion to the shooting of William Allen (c.1750-1768) by Scottish guards during the St. George's Fields riots on May 10, 1768, can be seen in the background on the right, where two soldiers fire at a man who is falling back.

An idealised portrait of a Scottish soldier in short kilt, feathered bonnet and sporran. He is armed with a flintlock musket, claymore and dagger. Although this print looks like it was published in England, Antonio Suntach (1744-1828) worked in Venice, often copying the works of others, which accounts for the strange spelling of the title, artist and date.

Petrus Kærius Cælavit.
[London, George Humble, c.1627.]
Engraved map. 90 x 125mm, 3½ x 5".
A miniature map of western Scotland, orientated with north to the right. Although it is commonly referred to as a 'miniature Speed', this map in fact pre-dates Speed's atlas, having been engraved in 1599 for a Dutch edition of Camden's 'Britannia'. Later the copper plates were sold to George Humble, the London publisher, who had the original Latin titles of the maps replaced with English ones, albeit rather crudely phrased, as this one, and plate numbers added. He published the miniature alongside the folio Speed atlases from 1627, forever linking the two. The engraver, Pieter van den Keere (1571-1646), had a long career: he was still engraving maps at 74, nearly fifty years after he engraved this map.

Engraving, rare. 405 x 275mm (16 x 10¾"). Narrow lateral margins, vertical crease.
An allegorical frontispiece featuring Queen Anne (1665-1714) as Queen of Scotland, seated on a throne flanked by unicorns with lances tipped with the Saltire, with a prospect of Edinburgh behind. Accompanying the queen figures including Time and Clio, Muse of history. It was published in 'Selectus Diplomatum et Numismatum Scotiae Thesaurus' by James Anderson (1662–1728), a compilation of medieval Scottish public records, charters and seals. Anderson, the lawyer son of a Presbyterian minister, had caused controversy for his 'Historical Essay Showing that the Crown and Kingdom of Scotland is Imperial and Independent', arguing that Scotland was not bound by the 1701 Act of Settlement, banning a Catholic succession. In 1715 he was appointed Postmaster General for Scotland, a reward for his labours on the Scottish records, but lost the position in the political struggles of 1717.

Of Man: Six Monograms by David Scott S.A. The speech of these things trembleth and is moved / Esdras
Edinburgh, Henry Constable: / London, Moon, Boys & Graves: Hamburga, Peithis & Besser: / Leipzig, Ernst Fleisher: 1831.
Set of six interleaved etchings with original wrapper (front only), with large margins, very rare; sheets approx 505 x 425mm (19¾ x 16¾")
Complete set of David Scott's 'Monograms of Man', a series of allegorical scenes with Biblical quotations tracing the life of man, influenced by the etching style of Blake and Flaxman. The six plates (Of Death; Of Life; Of Power; Of Intellect; Of Knowledge; Of Relation) were well-received but a commercial failure when published in 1831. Scott (1806-49) was an Edinburgh-born painter and poet whose work frequently tackled themes of death, terror and the supernatural. His works were frequently met with incomprehension but he did little to make his work accessible. He has subsequently been placed firmly within the tradition of British Romantic painting, with admirers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who described him as 'the painter most nearly fulfilling the highest requirement for historic art, both as a thinker and a colourist who has appeared among us from the time of Hogarth to his own'.

It forms a canopy beneath which is a figure of Scott seated with his favourite dog, and was carved in grey Carrara marble by Sir John Steell. The monument was erected between 1840 and 1844 from the design of George Kemp, a young architect who while travelling through Europe in order to study Gothic architecture, supported himself by working as an ordinary mason. In the niches are characters from some of Scott's work - Prince Charles Stewart, the Lady of the Lake, Meg Merrilies, and the Last Minstrel being the most notable, while the capitals of the pilasters supporting the vaulted roof are ornamented by likenesses of celebrated Scottish writers, including Burns, Hogg, Allan Ramsay, Smollett, Byron, James Thomson, James 1st and Drummond of Hawthornden. In the background may be seen the Castle.]
