Supplement to The New Statesman, February 27, 1926. (7)
Photo-lithograph. Plate 278 x 190mm. 11 x 7½".
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), playwright. One of the literary giants of the modern period, his writings span a vast spectrum of subjects and ideas. An active Fabian socialist, Shaw's influence was felt in politics and society at large; during the eighties and nineties he wrote important musical and dramatic criticism, introduced the British public to the work of Ibsen, and wrote some of his best plays. Successful seasons at the Royal Court Theatre (1904-7) established Shaw's reputation and many of his plays, including Majora Barbara (1905) and Pygmalion (1914) later reached wider audiences as popular films. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925. By Sir David Low (1891 - 1963), cartoonist, born in Dunedin, New Zealand; for a periodical.

Woodcut, printed area 180 x 130mm, 7 x 5¼", titled and signed by the artist in pencil, limited edition of 175. Time stained.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), one of three caricature portraits of the literary giants of the age, published as 'Three Living Lions', the others being G.K.Chesterton and H.G. Wells. Joseph Simpson (1879 - 1939), painter and etcher of portraits and sporting subjects, born in Carlisle and studied art at Glasgow School of Art. He designed covers for Edinburgh publishers and was a prolific designer of bookplates. In 1918 he became an official war artist for the RAF and was stationed in France. Simpson was already forty-five when he took up etching in 1925, at the height of the boom period for the medium. His first twenty or so plates were etched with a gramophone needle and printed by the artist himself on the small press lent to him by a local Carlisle printing firm. His first exhibition of etchings took place in Glasgow at Wishart Brown in March 1926, for which his friend Frank Brangwyn wrote the catalogue introduction.

Published by J. Boydell, Engraver, in Cheapside, London; Jan.y 1.st 1767.
Copper engraving, 345 x 380mm. 13¼ x 15". Uncut sheet.
The Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon of Israel, who she visited after hearing of his great wisdom, as described in the Book of 1 Kings in the Bible. Engraved after the painting of 1650 by Eustache Le Sueur (Paris 1616-55), now in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham. The scene was one of a pair (with 'The Dream of Solomon') painted by Le Sueur to hang above a fireplace in the Paris mansion of the Countess de Tonnay-Charente. A pupil of Simone Vouet, Le Sueur followed a clasically-inspired course in his works. He is now remembered chiefly for his St. Bruno series painted for Chartreuse (now in the Louvre). Numbered 'No. 31', from "The Most Capital Paintings in England", a series of engravings in five volumes, late 1760s-1786, the first three of which (1769 to 1773) were originally published under the title Sculptura Britannica. These were a critical and financial success for the publisher John Boydell who promoted the interests of both artists, engravers and Patrons establishing a tradition in Britain for collecting prints.

H: Roos pinx: A: Bartsch sc:
[n.d., c.1800]
Etching, platemark 250 x 315mm (9¾ x 12¼") Small repaired hole to left side, large margins.
Etching, probably after Johann Heinrich Roos (1631-85), from whose works Bartsch produced several prints. Adam Bartsch (1757-1821) was a Viennese librarian and amateur etcher, but is know chiefly remembered for his academic work. His 21 volume work 'Le Peintre-Graveur' (Vienna, 1803) remains an indispensible reference work for old master prints.

Engraving. Printed area 330 x 330mm. (13 x 13"). Trimmed, false margin added, little foxing.
Illustrations of two mouflon, believed to be one of the ancestors of all modern sheep, from Hiob Ludolf's 'Historiam Aethiopicam Antehac Editam Commentarius'. One has its large tail resting on a trolley behind it, in order not to chafe it on the ground, a story dating back to Herodotus. Ludolf (1624-1704), a German orientalist, learned the Ethiopian language from Gregorius, a monk from the Ethiopian province of Amhara. He used this knowledge to research the country, even visiting England to promote a trade scheme, unsuccessfully. The modern scholar Edward Ullendorff called Ludolf 'the most illustrious name in Ethiopic scholarship'.

Copperplate etching, plate 305 x 475mm (12 x 18¾"), with very large margins. Some discolouration. Repairs made leaving a bit of cockling within the image, however largely unnoticeable and textured effect in the margins.
A shepherd and his dogs watch over his sheep during a snowstorm. A copperplate etching by Frederick Slocombe (1847-1920) from an original painting by Joseph Farquharson (1846-1935). The picture has been signed by both men. Farquharson has captured the remarkably realistic effects of a snow storm by painting the original painting in the open air albeit from the relative comfort of the artist's specially constructed mobile painting hut, which contained a stove. The sheep, however, were false, fabricated in plaster by a local sculptor.

[Sheerness Dockyard.]
R. Paton pinxt. 1778. C Canot aqua fortis. W. Watts sculp.
London Published 1 March 1803 by B. B. Evans in the Poultry.
Etching and engraving, scratched letter proof before title, 510 x 690mm. 20 x 27¼". Laid on card; two vertical creases through centre.
Sheerness, beside the mouth of the River Medway on the northwest corner of the Isle of Sheppey in north Kent. Sheerness began as a fort built in the 16th century to protect the River Medway from naval invasion. In 1665, plans were first laid by the Navy Board for a Royal Navy dockyard where warships might be provisioned and repaired, a site favored by Samuel Pepys, then Clerk of the Acts of the navy, for shipbuilding over Chatham. After the raid on the Medway in 1667, the older fortification was strengthened; in 1669 the Royal Navy dockyard was established, where warships were stocked and repaired until its closure in 1960. An impressive scene after Richard Paton (1717 - 1791), painter of marine subjects. With an etched crest below image.

A Geometrical Plan, & West Elevation Of His Majesty's Dock-Yard, and Garrison at Sheerness, with the Ordanance , Warfe, &. C. To the Honourable Lewis Monson Watson Knight of the Shire for the County of Kent, and Auditor of the Imprest, This plate is humbly inscribed by his most Obedient Servt. Thos. Milton.
Thos. Milton Surv:etdelin: Shipping by T.Cleveley P.C.Canot Sculpt.
Publsih'd according to Act of Parliament Thos. Milton. 14 April 1755.
Engraving 495 x 660mm. Trimmed to plate, centre fold, minor nicks and scratches
Explanation and Key to plan and elevation left and right. Sheerness was the focus of an attack by the Dutch navy in June 1667, when 72 hostile ships during the Raid on the Medway compelled the little 'sandspit fort', to surrender and landed a force which for a short while occupied the town. Impressed by the civil behaviour of the Dutch marines - they paid for their dinner - the town reinvited the Dutch Marine Corps for the third centennial of the raid. Pepys at Gravesend remarked in his diary 'we do plainly at this time hear the guns play' and in fear departed to Brampton in Huntingdonshire. Sheerness was also the site of a Royal Dockyard which, although not as large as those at Chatham and Deptford was still of some importance in Tudor and Stuart England. During the Victorian age a warship was built which still exists - HMS Gannet (an 'Osprey' class Sloop) which was launched on 31 August 1878.
