Mezzotint, sheet 210 x 150mm (8¼ x 6"). Trimmed to platemark; glued to backing sheet.
Abraham Simon (bap.1617-d.c.1692), medallist, brother of Thomas Simon who executed the great seal of the Commonwealth. By 1645 Simon was making medals and wax models of leading parliamentarians and others, and spent time in Sweden and elsewhere in continental Europe in the 1650s. He returned to England after the Restoration and briefly found favour at court, modelling the portrait of Charles II for 100 broad-pieces, although his temperament saw him fall from favour. Due to his unusual appearance Simon was in demand as a model: apart from this portrait after Lely, Godfrey Kneller painted Simon three times (once as a hermit).

Professor Stephan Sinding and His Famous Group. "To Mennesker" (Two Mortals). [Facsimile signature:] Stephan Sinding. [On verso:] Stephan Abel Sinding was born in Thronhjem, Norway, the 4th of August, 1846. He matriculated at the University of Christiania, intending to become a lawyer. Quite by chance he discovered the great gift with which Nature had endowed him, and immediately went abroad for the purpose of studying sculpture in the great art centres. For many years he visited Berlin, Vienna and Paris, and in 1882 settled down to work in Rome. In 1883 he went to Copenhagen. Here he met the famous art patron, Dr. Carl Jacobsen, who at once realised the realism, the beauty and the grandeur of his work, and commissioned him to execute series of masterpieces for the "Glyptotek". He married a Danish lady, and became in 1890 a naturalised Dane. All his chief works were executed in Denmark, until a few years ago when he took up his domicile in Paris. The Sculpture by Stephan Sinding, on view at Harrods, May 26th-June 13, 1914. includes this master's most notable works, which have never before been exhibited in England. The Exhibits...The Barbarian Mother...A Captive Mother...Two Mortals...The Widow...Siegmund and Siegelinde. Finished in marble in Paris, 1914. Now exhibited for the first time.

Stephan Sinding (1846-1922) was a Norwegian-Danish sculptor. In 1890 he received Danish citizenship but in 1910 he moved to Paris, where he worked until his death. The sculptor Willie Wulff (1881-1962) is the photographer.

Sinking of the Royal George.
Hinchliff [etching under waves to centre right.]
London, J & F. Harwood, 26, Fenchurch St.t Feb.y 2. 1842.
Etching. 120 x 184mm. 4¾ x 7¼". Laid on album scrap.
HMS Royal George was built at Woolwich Dockyard and was launched in 1756. She saw service during the Seven Years' War and as flagship to Admiral Sir Edward Hawke at the Battle of Quiberon Bay and later at the Battle of Cape St Vincent. On 29 August 1782, she was preparing to sail with Admiral Howe's fleet to relieve Gibraltar when she was keeled over to carry out some repair work. However the tilt was too far, passing her centre of gravity, and the counter-balance attempt by moving the guns back into position, but they were not properly secured, causing an inrush of water.
