Magnificent, large and scarce colour aquatint, 395 x 520mm. 15½ x 20½". One or two spots to image; trimmed close to plate. Fine colour.
'The Shipwreck'. A young sailor watches in horror from the shore as a ship is hurled by a huge wave towards rocks on a tropical island or coastline; he is restrained by one white and two black companions. Other figures to shore; praying figure and black slave aboard the doomed ship. Charles Melchior Descourtis (1753 - 1820), engraved the set of six 'Paul et Virginie' after Jean Frédéric Schall. While this has a similar theme it isn't one from the set. This print is, however, nearly identical to 'Le Naufrage de Virginie' (Mixelle after Lambert), which we also have in stock (see our ref. 28894). While the image sizes are identical, 'Le Naufrage de Viriginie' has a border around the edge, was printed from a larger plate, and shows significant differences to the waves and clouds.

The Barge of the Adventure saving the Crew of a Bombard [ms].
M.A.J. Whitby. Newlands 1828.
Rare lithograph, printed area and text 130 x 170mm (5 x 6¾").
This print probably shows the crew of the HMS Adventure coming to the aid of shipwrecked sailors, perhaps off the coast of North Africa. The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850) appears to have spent time in Italy and North Africa in the 1820s or before, and the Adventure was in Leptis Magna, near Tripoli in modern-day Libya, in 1817. Whitby 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).

Valois sc.
[n.d., c.1760.]
Engraving. 180 x 115mm (7 x 4½"), with large margins. Very small mark on right of plate, outside of image.
A portrait of Laurence Shirley, 4th Earl Ferrers (1720–60), as he lay in his coffin at Surgeon's Hall. The body is displayed vertically and is fully clothed on the wedding suit embroidered with silver he wore to his execution at Tyburn on 5th May 1760. His wife separated from him on grounds of cruelty and Ferrers shot his steward, John Johnson, dead after becoming suspicious of him. On trial for murder, Ferrers tried to avoid the death sentence by claiming that he was insane at the time of the shooting. Dr. John Monro, who worked at Bethlem Hospital for mentally ill patients, gave evidence in his favour. However, Ferrers was found guilty of murder and hanged at Tyburn. His procession to Tyburn from the Tower of London in his own private carriage took nearly 3 hours, the route lined with large crowds of spectators. He was the last peer in England to be hanged for murder. After his execution his body was taken to Surgeon's Hall for public exhibition and dissection.
