Caught at Last. Serve Him Right. The punishment awarded by the ladies, to the artist who made those impertinent drawings about Crinoline!
London: Published March 17th, 1859, by Read & Co., 10, Johnson's Court, Fleet Street.
Hand coloured lithograph. Sheet size: 280 x 375mm (11 x 14¾"). Scarce. Glued to backing sheet.
A satire depicting a man trapped under a large Crinoline by five women, each taunting him. Crinoline was a stiff fabric which first appeared around 1830, but by 1850 the term had come to mean a stiffened petticoat or rigid skirt-shaped structure of steel, designed to support the skirts of a woman’s dress in the required shape. The crinoline was the subject of much ridicule and satire, particularly in Punch magazine. Dress reformers did not like it either — they seized upon the cage aspect of the crinoline and claimed that it effectively imprisoned women.

[Michael Servetus] Omnia quum portenta voces hominemque deumque Infundi Serves moninus opprobium.
[London: John Saywell, 1655.]
Engraving. 110 x 80mm (4¼ x 3¼"), set in text.
An oval bust portrait of Michael Servetus (Miguel Serveto, c.1510-53), Spanish theologian, physician and humanist, who published the first European description of pulmonary circulation. He also edited the text for the 1535 Waldseemuller/Fries edition of Ptolemy's 'Geographia'. In 1553 Calvin had Servtus burned at the stake, along with his books: one of the charges was his 'Geographia' text contradicted the description of the Holy Land in the Book of Exodus as a 'land flowing with milk and honey'. However Servetus had just copied the passage from earlier editions. From ''Apocalypsis, or, The revelation of certain notorious advancers of heresie wherein their visions and private revelations by dreams, are discovered to be most incredible blasphemies, and enthusiastical dotages : together with an account of their lives, actions and ends : whereunto are added the effigies of seventeen (who excelled the rest in rashness, impudence and lying) : done in copper plates faithfully and impartially translated out of the Latine by J.D.''.

Fine colour-printed stipple with large margins. 425 x 520mm (16¾ x 20½").
A scene from rhe life of Servius Tullius, the legendary sixth king of Rome, who reigned 578-535 BC. Born to a slave of King Tarquin's household, he became the king's protegé after several members of the royal household witnessed a nimbus of fire about his head while he slept, a sign of divine favour (as seen in this print). He married Tarquin's daughter and was made heir. A popular and reforming king, he reigned for 44 years until he was murdered by his treacherous daughter Tullia and son-in-law Tarquinius Superbus, who became the last king of Rome. Tarquinius Superbus's overthrow in 509 BC was the beginning of the Roman Republic, which was a popular subject for art in the early years of the French Republic. This print was engraved by Bathelémy Roger 'under the supervision of' Jacques Louis Copia, after Antoine Boizot. Ex: Oettingen-Wallerstein collection.

A gloriously dramatic battle scene.

Although the assault failed, the gallantry of Windham's conduct earned the warm commendation of General James Simpson, who had succeeded Lord Raglan in the command of the army in the Crimea. Extraordinary enthusiasm was aroused when the descriptions of the assault, written by the special correspondents of the ‘Times’ and other papers, were published in England, and Windham became, in a moment, the best known and most popular man in his native country.
