[W. Fairclough.]
[1936.]
Etching, proof. 260 x 272mm. 10¼ x 10¾".
The spanish mule. Wilfred Fairclough (1907-1996) was a painter, etcher, watercolourist and teacher who was born in Blackburn, Lancashire. He left school at 14 to work in a mill and then trained as an audit clerk while attending evening classes at Blackburn School of Arts and Crafts, where he passed the Board of Education's drawing examination in 1930, the year he was appointed part-time teacher at Blackburn. Determination gained him entry to the Royal College of Art's engraving school from 1931 to 1934, where he excelled, under teachers Malcolm Osborne and Robert Austin. He was a Rome Scholar in Engraving in 1934 attending the British School in Rome from 1934 to 1937. Rome was a favourite subject, later replaced by Venice. He lived at Kingston upon Thames and joined the staff of Kingston School of Art in 1938 and was Principal there from 1962 to 1970, after which he was Assistant Director of Kingston Polytechnic from 1970 to 1972. He spent his wartime service in the Royal Air Force where he worked on models employed in planning the bouncing bomb attack on the Mohne dam. He then spent time in India. Fairclough was elected member of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers and Engravers in 1946 and member of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours in 1968. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, Walker Art Gallery Liverpool and at the Redfern Gallery, as well as widely overseas. The Contemporary Art Society has bought his work and he is also represented at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the Victoria and Albert Museum, which has almost 60 watercolours which Fairclough completed during World War II for the Pilgrim Trust's Recording Britain project.

Spark, a famous Hunter which was presented to the Prince of Wales by M.r Fleetwood, after his Royal Highness had done riding him, he was kept as a Stallion in his Majesties Stud at Hampton Court.
James Seymour Pinx. R. Parr Sculp.
Publish'd by John Bowles according to Act of Parliam.t July 4, 1743.
Etching. Sheet 185 x 200mm (7¼ x 8"). Trimmed into plate on three sides, some scuffing and wear, laid on archival paper.
Spark, a decendant of the Darly Arabian, was given by Charles Fleetwood to Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales. He later passed the horse to Lord Baltimore to give to Samuel Ogle, Governor of Maryland, who took the horse to Maryland in 1747. Thus Spark became the first thoroughbred stallion in the colony and the beginning of the American purebred development at the Belair Stud. Probably from the series 'Seventeen Famous Race Horses' engraved by Regimius Parr, mentioned by Siltzer but not listed or dated. As Spark was foaled in 1743 the publication line here is suspect.

Lithograph with exceptionally fine hand colour. Printed area 450 x 340mm (17¾ x 13½".
The Sparrow Hawk in a snowy landscape, a kingfisher caught in its talons. Edouard Traviès (1809 - 1865) was one of the greatest ornithological artists of the 19th century, painting the birds in their natural habitat. His greatest work was 'Les Oiseaux Les Plus Remarquables par leurs formes et leurs coleurs. Scenes variees de leurs moeurs & de leur habitudes'.

Engraving with hand colour. 265 x 420mm (10½ x 16½"), on paper watermarked 'Ruse & Turner 1818', large margins. A little damp staining in margin.
A female sparrow hawk, plate 13 of Selby's 'Illustrations of British Ornithology', published between 1821 and 1834. This was the first publication in which British birds were illustrated life-size. At the same time the publisher was also preparing the first plates for John James Audobon's 'Birds of America', also life-size. It is said that Audubon switched to Robert Havell Jnr in London after ten plates were finished because he felt Selby was receiving preferential treatment from Lizars.

Robert Sparrow ESQ.R. (of Worlingham Hall, Suffolk).
Painted by T. Phillips R.A. 1821. Drawn on Stone by R. J. Lane A.R.A. 1828.
Printed by C. Hullmendel.
Stipple with very large margins. India paper, laid on Album sheet. Sheet size: 550 x 380mm (21¾ x 15").
The manor of Worlingham was purchased by Robert Sparrow, the elder, on June 23rd, 1755. He arrived as a wealthy property owner from Kettleburgh where the family had resided as landowners since the 17th century. Sparrow the elder became connected with the area of Lowestoft through a commercial interest in 'fish houses' and owned a 'summer property', called Cliff Cottage, sited at the northern edge of the town. Cliff Cottage was probably an artisan's house, which was gentrified by Robert Sparrow II at the turn of the 18th century. By the end of the 19th century the building, considerably modified and enlarged, became known locally as 'Sparrows Nest'.

Specific Gravities. Specific Gravity, or weight, is the measure of force with which matter, in its various forms, falles, when unsustained, towards the earth's centre. It is best determined by poising solids in water, and gases in air; and the relation to equal bulks of water or air, is the relative weight of an equal bulk, called the specific gravity; gravity being in this case synonymous with weight. [List of Gases, liquids and solids follows with more text:] ...If a structure of oak weighs 1,170 lbs., a similar one of exactly the same cubic contents, made of deal, would weigh only 555lbs. A bottle capable of containing 10 lbs. of water will hold 18 lbs of sulphuric acid, the latter being nearly twice as heave as the former.

A Speech, Made To Kinge James, At His Comeinge To Hoghton Tower, By Two conceaved to be the Household Gods. July, 1617. The first attyr'd in a Purple Taffatu' Mantle;/ In one Hand, a Palm Tree Branch;/ On his Head a Garland of the same;/ And in the other Hand a Dogge. [Poetic declamtions by the two characters follow in two columns below.]
[n.d., c.1820.]
Printed broadside, entirely letterpress, in decorative border. Sheet 315 x 200mm. Glued to scrap sheet, horizontal and vertical centre creases where previously folded.
A gushing speech of welcome to King James I by the household gods of Hoghton Tower. Hoghton is a fortified manor house to the east of Preston in Lancashire. It has been the ancestral home of the De Hoghton family since the time of William the Conqueror. Richard Hoghton earned the favour of James I, who made him a Baronet in 1611 and visited Hoghton in 1617. Sir Richard, who was hoping to convince the king to relieve him of money-losing alum mines, laid out the red carpet for James' visit - literally. Red carpeting was laid for the entire length of the half mile avenue leading to the house. The king must have been impressed by the lavish welcome, and the feasting which followed, for he did buy the mines. An amusing but unsubstantiated tale has it that at the feast in the banqueting hall given in James' honour the king was so moved by the excellent loin of beef he was served that he took his sword and knighted it 'Sir Loin', giving us the term 'sirloin'. Richard's good fortune did not last long; only a few years later he was imprisoned in Fleet Prison for debt. Richard's son, Sir Gilbert, fought for Charles I in the Civil War, and Hoghton Tower was besieged by Parliamentary troops in 1643. Eventually the defenders capitulated, but when the Roundheads entered the house the powder magazine in the tower between the two courtyards exploded with terrifying force, killing over 100 Parliamentary men. A rare and quirky broadside.
