Burt's Solar Compass.
B.P. Wilme, Del. et Sculp. 15, Featherstone Buildings, Holborn, London.
[n.d., c.1845.]
Engraving, sheet 140 x 225mm. 5½ x 8¾". Trimmed to platemark top and bottom.
The Solar Compass used to survey lands in Wisconsin, USA, and surrounding areas during the 1840s and 1850s. In 1834, while surveying and subdividing the layout of thirteen townships in land that would one day become northern Wisconsin, government surveyor William Austin Burt of Michigan came to a key realization. High levels of iron ore in the region were disturbing Burt's magnetic compass and garbling readings from the earth's magnetic field, making it difficult to determine north-south survey lines. After a year of experimentation, Burt devised a solution to this problem by inventing a solar compass that did not depend on magnetic readings. It was an innovation that would soon become the standard for surveying in areas with high concentrations of iron ore all over the country. U.S. Army Colonel John Garvin Clark used the compass featured here to survey land in what is known today as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri during the 1840s and 1850s, including the establishment of the Iowa-Missouri line in 1852. Made of brass, the solar compass used by Clark was built in the 1840s by William J. Young, an instrument maker from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Painted by R.W. Buss. Engraved by [****]
London Published June 1834 by Ackermann & Co, [****] Strand.
Finely coloured mezzotint, proof before title. 400 x 500mm, 15¾ x 19¾". Trimmed to plate, some wear to edges, lettering faint.
A canvasser attempting to win over a voter, painted by Robert William Buss (1804-75), best known for illustrating Charles Dickens' 'Pickwick Papers' and his painting, 'Dickens' Dream'. The Literary Gazette reviewed the painting: "In this performance, considered as a work of art, the talents of Mr Buss are seen to greater advantage than in any of his former productions. The satire is pungent; and the extremes of servility on the one hand, and insolence on the other… are admirably portrayed".

The Solicitor General for the French Republic.
IC. [Isaac Cruikshank.]
London Pub. Febr.y 18. 1793 by SW Fores No.3 Piccadilly.
Fine hand-coloured etching; paper watermarked. 362 x 272mm (14¼ x 10¾"). Trimmed to platemark. Slight crease centre.
Fox opposed the war with France (12 Feb.) in a speech defending himself against 'the imputation of being the abettor of France . . .', but maintaining that the French decrees and actions were not grounds for war; he accused the Ministry of acting aggressively towards France. Fox, wearing the rags of a sans-culotte under a long legal gown, stands directed to the left, looking down and to the right with an expression of sly meditation. He wears bands and a large legal wig, with tattered stockings on his otherwise bare legs. Across his corpulent figure stretches a tricolour belt inscribed 'Republicanism'. He stands on a floor of black and white squares. An owl looks down upon him from a perch. In his right hand is a scroll, the brief of the Republic.

[The Death of Solinzeb.]
J. Northcote delin. T. Gaugain fecit.
Publish'd March 1786, by T. Gaugain No.4 Little Compton Street, Soho, London.
Fine stipple in brown ink with very large margins. Plate 394 x 346mm (15½ x 13½"). Proof before title; laid on album sheet.
In a roundel, a man in oriental dress lays on a leopard skin and expires in the arms of his daughter, after being wounded in the chest. On the right, a European officer attends the wounded man, while a battle rages in the background. In the final state lines from the French author Jean Francois Marmontel (1723-1799) are added below the image to represent the last words of the wounded man: he does not fear death, welcomed as a gentle sleep, but he fears for his daughter's future.
