Sporting Anecdotes - the Hunted Tailor. - Plate 9. The Double Fracture___Or Breaking the Sabbath, and breaking the Window. 'John Bishop a brisk looking knight of the thimble & shears, being tired of sitting cross-legged all the week resolved one Sunday upon having a day's Sporting, & while pursuing this recreation at Notting Hill, he espied a cock sparrow, chattering to his newly chosen mate on an opposite twig. The temptation to have a pop at his at all hazards, was irrisistible, & accordingly our sportsman levelled his piece, & having carefully closed both eyes pulled the trigger...

Lith de Balathier, Rue Jacob, 48. [n.d. c.1833]
Rare lithograph, sheet 330 x 240mm (13 x 9½"). Repaired tears. Slight surface dirt.
A man ice skates rightward, with his hands tucked into his pockets, wearing Scottish plaid trousers, a scarf covering the lower portion of his face and he sports a hat pulled down over his ears. Another man, likewise skating and puffing on his pipe, is behind him on the left. Paul Gavarni (1804-66) was a lithographer, caricaturist, engraver, and wood draughtsman. studied mechanical drawing in 1818 at the Paris Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers. He started the "Journal des Gens du Monde" in 1833, but it failed and he was forced to enter prison because he was unable to pay his debtors. Following his release from prison, Gavarni began to sketch theatrical costumes as well as some drawings for wood engravings used in book illustrations. While employed by Philipon's "Le Charivari" in 1837, he designed the female equivalent of Daumier's "Robert Macaire." This prompted him to concentrate on observing the feminine aspects of Parisian society, which resulted in the hugely popular series "Les Lorettes."

[John Spottiswoode] Joannes Spotiswoode Archiepiscopus St Andreanus, Totius Scotiae Primas et Metropolitanus [...]
W: Hollar fecit.
Etching, sheet 280 x 180mm (11 x 7"). Tipped into album sheet.
John Spottiswoode (1565-1639), archbishop of St Andrews and historian. Made Lord Chancellor of Scotland by Charles I in 1634, Spottiswoode was subsequently forced to seek exile in England after attempting to implement controversial liturgical alterations in Scotland (these led to the Bishops' Wars of 1639-45). Frontispiece to the 1668 edition of Spottiswoode's 'The History of the Church of Scotland', completed shortly before his death but not published until 1655, during the Cromwellian interregnum. Largely focused on the reign of James I, who commissioned the work, the 'History' was unquestionably an apologia for the royalist and episcopal cause in Scotland. Etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England, and whose patron was Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel, who as one of Charles I's most trusted advisors led the king's forces against Scotland in 1639.

Sr. Edward Sprague, Kn.t Admiral of the Blew Squadron in the year 1672. when fighting valiantly for his Country, he Gloriously expired in the bed of Honour
[Anon., c.1685]
Rare mezzotint, sheet 260 x 180mm (10¼ x 7"). Trimmed; tipped into album sheet.
Sir Edward Spragge (c.1629-73), naval officer. In his early career Spragge is said to have spent time as a slave in Algiers, and after marrying the daughter of the governor of Dunkirk he commanded a French privateer, which was badly damaged by an English frigate. He then joined the navy and was knighted for his gallantry in the battle of Lowestoft in the Second Anglo-Dutch War. He was made a scapegoat for the 'division of the fleet' which precipitated the Four Days' Battle during the same conflict, but was exonerated following a parliamentary enquiry. Sprague subsequently served as ambassador to the Spanish Netherlands, and as admiral of a fleet fighting the Algerian corsairs (he won a spectacular victory over the Algerian fleet at Bugia Bay in 1671, which led to the signing of a peace treaty). In the Third Anglo-Dutch War he was made admiral of the blue after distinguishing himself in the battle of Sole Bay, but was drowned in the battle of Texel following a private battle with Cornelis Tromp. He was buried at Westminster Abbey.
